Please doctor I can’t take it anymore. Can we consider me cured so I can stop? “Flu-like symptoms” don’t sound so bad until you have them ALL THE TIME. The constant low-grade fever is completely debilitating. Sometimes I rest in a cool tub of water and doze off; when I wake up I am surprised I didn’t drown. Then I go outside in the hot sun wearing a long sleeve jacket and a sun hat, looking and feeling like an old lady, you know, the little one’s in the orange coat from the 1950′s with a woolen beret. This is because I go from piping hot to subzero in a matter of moments, regardless of the temperature outside.
I am too tired to write anymore.
Hello there, I am so happy I found your blog. When you disappeared from the HepC forum I was very concerned about you, tried to reach you.
I am so happy to hear that you are doing well.
I started the tx Sept 1st and finished in February, there are others who had to quit at 10 or 12 weeks who are still clear.
Best wishes
Dee
Hi Dee!
yes, I just had my 6 mth follow up blood work and am still clear. My doctor said there was a 25% chance of relapse quitting so early and seems to think its miraculous that I am still clear. She said there is a 3% chance of relapse over the next year, but I am not concerned. I am happy I chose to stop early. My hair is starting to thicken up again and I feel great. Glad to hear you are done with it too!
all the best!
So very happy for you!
