nice to hear .GREAT to hear ! and i needed to hear it .congrates I had no problem reading this post lol
(VERY late to this party....)
Wow, I missed this earlier post, I am SO happy to hear how much better you're feeling! You have had such a difficult time, and wow, now you're SVR!! Huge congratulations on that accomplishment!
I've been thinking of you a lot, was trying to get around to writing a note, these days I procrastinate more than ever! Something about the tx meds... So I finished too, one month post now, and am gradually feeling better. It doesn't happen right away, does it, but I know that "better than ever" is a real possibility, so I'm going for it!!
It's nice to hear some WONDERFUL news!!!!
Congratulations!!!

I (unknowingly) sat on a broken chair at a patient's house. I heard the CREAK an instant before it splintered and I twisted quickly to break the fall. Not smart. So I'm out with a sprained back. The comp doc said "light duty" and my employer said "go home."
I felt very sluggish and slow for a while after I finished. The fog was lifting from my head but my body wasn't in step. I'd say that it took about two months before my energy levels were acceptable. BTW - you're newly finished (and you too Epi, my friend!) so congrats on that. One day you'll hit a point where you sort of realize that things shifted back to the way they should be, but it takes time.
Ricki62 - My GI told me about halfway through treatment that I was going to feel GREAT soon after it was over. I felt like clam dip on a ritz cracker and did not believe her. She was right. Stay hopeful. It may take time but you will feel better!
And one other thing:
You guys are perverts (and I love it)! I may be on my back again, but at least I'm not a hot diaphoretic mess anymore. I also seem to have misplaced the "touch my skin again and I will rip your nostrils out" look that I came to master during tx.
Thank you, Sunqueen, for sharing your story..I get really depressed when I read all the comments regarding feeling bad after treatment and the virus coming back. Your positive attitude made my day. I have 103 days left on my treatment (not that I'm counting or anything)..Genotype 1 and now have zero viral load since week 7 so I'm hopeful that I will be fine too. Enjoy your health, my dear!!
An accident at work? What the heck happened?
Wondering about that 'cause since I finished tx, I seem to be accident-prone, which I wasn't. Am even anxious about driving and used to be confident, even over-confident.
Don't have my old reflexes back and it puts me out of sorts big time.
I could definitely use a spare friend.
(A little late to the party...)
Congratulations on such wonderful success. Nice to see you come back with such good news!
Well, you've definitely proven "just a quickie" can be a good thing lol.

Just want to say thanks to everyone! I had an accident at work the day after I posted this and have been majorly out of sorts. If anyone could use a spare friend, I'll happily send you my buddy, Murphy.
In the meantime, I still feel great and have been taking up all sorts of new hobbies. Even got in a little beach time :D
Good to see that you're back to quickies and feeling fabulous. :) Congrats on the 12 week results!!
Trish
Well Done,
i happy to hear that
Well, well, well Done my friend. Wow, what a long hard road that was and you were having a few troubles post as well. We're all pretty good at the 'avoidance technique' - what a nice way of putting it :-).
Big huge congratulations and hugs to you. I'm so very glad you're doing so well xxx
I didn't miss that either but felt it was time to reign myself in and pretend to be proper, what with the kids home for the weekend.
Love it!!!!!!! I am sooo happy for you. After all you went thru on tx, to have UND as validation makes the memories fade (hopefullly, lol!!)
Thanks so much for posting.....keeps us going here in the trenches. Good to know it really does end =)
Much love, sis!!!!!!

I could never pass on a quickie......
I'm really glad to hear you are feeling better.
Really glad. The SVR12 is probably solid within a percent or two and so you are probably golden. Since you are feeling so much better the next 12 weeks will be easier to tolerate. Enjoy em!!!!!!!
Glad to get the good news..... your neighbor to the south,
Willy
Sunqueen;
A hearty congratulations for a job well done!

“"on your back to the good life.
Sorry Sunqueen, that doesn't sound real good…”
LMAO! No kidding, especially in light of the name of this thread, LOL!
Great news. Now I am waiting for the snorkeling and beach story!
Eric
This is great news. Thanks for sharing it!
Congratulations!
Virtually SVR and you're feeling better already.
And I love your avoidance technique, practice it myself now and then and find it first rate, especially about PCR's.
I'll always remember your beautiful pasta photos, partly because I've been too lazy to make any for thirty years. I'll never forget your eye photo either.
"Seriously, it gets better. Much better" sounds very wonderful to me. I hope I'm lucky, too.
You're an amazing woman.
That is awesome news, well done!!! I'm 2 days post and still feel pretty shite but it's so great to know the good times will be back!! Thanks for posting, and congratulations!
YAY!!!!!!!!!! This brought tears to my eyes my kick a§§ dragon slaying sis'!!! I'm so happy for you. 99,999 % sure to have SVR'd, even though you had to stop early! You did it! I'm so so happy for you. This is so beautiful!
Just wanted to let you know that I stopped tx almost 4 weeks ago and am feeling fab. My energy levels are over the roof, just the muscles are still a bit weak, but am biking every day. So yes, everyone needs to know that there is hope after tx.
Much love, Marcia
"on your back to the good life."
Sorry Sunqueen, that doesn't sound real good. As you can tell, I'm not off the meds. lol
Should read: On your way back to the good life.
Super news. You had some tough sx and it's good to know you're doing so well and on your back to the good life. Many are posting these days how good they are feeling after tx is over. Certainly gives us a boost.
Take care and looks like you got this one in the bag.
