Thank you to everyone for your candor! I was very nervous about posting because I've noticed, in the past, people make assumptions there are those of us out there just looking for permission to drink alcohol. I have never had a drinking or drug problem so moderation is not a problem for me. I also have no signs of fibrosis nor am I cirrhotic so I'm very lucky. I truly appreciate your well wishes and hope nothing but the best for all of you! Blessings...
Good luck to you and I hope it's a good hearty red with which you will celebrate and please raise a glass to the rest of us yet to finish tx. We'll be there in spirit.
my x did 48 weeks tx about 10 years ago...she wasn't a big drinker before but did like a couple glasses of wine maybe once or twice a week...after tx she waited maybe a year then would once in a while would drink a glass or two...not anymore...her body just can't take it... says its from the hep....she did have hep real bad back in 70 so maybe that messed up her liver really bad...so if your body reacts different to alcohol after tx your not alone...good luck...billy
as far as I can tell, I'm done with drinking, would I say I had a problem, oh no, i just enjoyed it a lot, I stopped when it started not feeling good anymore.
I think a couple of drinks is fine, I for one at 61 yrs. have had enough to last.
When I drink, I break out in spots - Sully's Tavern, Joe's Bar and Grille.................
I agree!. I USED TO BE type 1b, I am a month post TX, have been virus free for 6 months now. Last weeek I decided to have a beer at the local pub with some old friends. I don't think it will result in a relapse. If the virus is gone, its gone. If it is lurking inside, when I find out I will not drink a drop and will try the next round of drugs coming.
I was never an alcoholic, having a glass of wine or a beer is a part of life I enjoy and I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to be virus free and enjoy responsibly!
