Failed treatment too but most definitely feel better since treating. No residual long term or short term side effects from the interferon and the extra hepatic manifestations caused from the hepc are gone. My quality of life is much better now.
Hey Will, I see you responding to a lot of posts, it's fun getting to know people here, and seeing the drama unfold is crazy in some of these heated forums. I like the way you engage your thought in the debates/ arguments out here. Thanks for sharing with me. I seem to be spending a lot of time laying around like a bump on a pickle with my IPad in hand. This has been a blessing to have this community to ask and share with. So, if you don't mind me asking, this next time around for you...what will you do differently? Not just the meds but the whole body. Hugs, carolyn
I have not reached SVR ,having had a less than stellar attempt at treatment the first time and am waiting to treat again,however just wanted to say I fellt no long lasting ill effects from tx. and feel the same as I did pre tx. ,
Yes...we seem to read so much about the after effects of treatment ,and there is no doubt ,some struggle with these side effects however it is also a fact that very many and I would hazard a guess the majority feel fine given some time and we just don"t hear much from them as many of them are not here..they are busy feeling fine...
Best to you...
Will.
Yes!!! Much better - lots of energy, happy and peppy and bursting with love. I still have a bit of brain fog but all in all, it's all good 2 and a half months post.
Hey Diane! How's your brain fog and memory? Anything improved from before TX?
Awesome, I love a good report! I have read so very much negative. It's enough to make me not want to be on the forum. With the sx I am nervous and anxious enough so I have to be careful what I read now, Thank you for sharing some positive news, perhaps this will help me stay focused on the real goal. I was initially told that the liver immediately starts to repair soon after you start tx, now I have read that the liver doesn't heal until until aproximently a year after SVR, how do you know when you are fully recovered? Perhaps I should post this question. Carolyn
