feeling like i relapsed

[JAY0914]

So worried i relapsed due to symptoms lately...i go in this friday for 3 month PCR...Having the burning eyes, achy back, flu like feeling all the time, fatique, yawning alot mid day...these are all the symptoms i had before treatment  anxiety like crazy thinking the worst ...i  really thought i beat this thing with all the great results...my question is if did. relapse       .what are my options now?

"but if just in case i did relapse anyone have an idea what i should do? retreat?"

You keep wanting to put the cart before the horse, your 4 week pcr shows the odds are your going to be SVR............ No need to waste a bunch of what ifs now.

Anxiety can do strange things to people.  For one thing, it compromises your immune system.  A good dose of fear of the the future can make one pretty dang sick.  Try to stay positive and do whatever it is you ordinarily do to reduce stress:  work out, nice meditation tape, nice music, dancing, singing, etc.

thanks for all the replies...only the test will tell the story..i was in the hospital for 5 days in december with GI issues..could not poop felt bad...had colitis and gastroenergitist bacteria..got out of hospital and felt better until last week...still having the GI issues...on a high fiber diet which seems to have helped but still having pain and burning in stomach...doc says he may do a colonoscophythis flu like symptons been going on a week now...

but if just in case i did relapse anyone have an idea what i should do? retreat? have test to see if mutations were caused by incivek?  my life was just starting to go right and now i feel the dark cloud of failure possibly on me..with no hope

Yes, don't worry!

With numbers like those you are pretty sure to achieve SVR!

SVR means you have cleared the virus so it cannot cause any more damage to your liver, but in my mind you can't expect SVR to magically make your liver all better.

When I get my SVR (not if), my liver is going to get better whether it wants to or not!

Breathe, relax, enjoy life...

On week 22. After incivek, my asthma came back. Then I started having the internal itching on my left side and gas I used to have.  I was very worried.  I am still testing und though.  Hoping you do too.

All those symptoms sound pretty darn basic, perhaps you just have a cold coming on. I wouldn't worry necessarily about relapsing just from that - out of all the people I remember who have relapsed I dont remember any of them saying anything of the sort. Hang tough.
