Genotype 3 -undetected since week 4

Hello all, i just finished 24 weeks. I have been off the stuff for 2 weeks. Virus still undetected. I expected to continue to feel poorly after stopping, which is the case. Of course I feel much better then when I was on Pegintron and ribivirin. I have begun exercising a bit-mostly swimming. Still feel pains in my liver area and my have fatigue and the dreams are crazy, and still have some depression.  I was thinking of going back on the herbs i was taking before treatment, which were milk thistle, selenium, vit e, fish oil, lecithin, alpa lipoic, vit c, and a few others. Doctor told me to stop taking them during treatment.

Anyone use herbs after treatment and have some helpful comments about post-treatment helpers.

Agree with Bali I'd wait just to be sure since I dont think there is any 'real' answer to the question.

You know after only 2 weeks you are just getting the ifn out of your body and the riba is still there.........it will take a bit longer to get back in the saddle again but after only 24 weeks you should be able to do it. Even us 72weekers eventually get back to some normalcy (eventually)

HANG IN THERE!

I would wait until you get your SVR before you take anything you were not taking on tx.

Looking good.
