Magnum, if you lurking on this thread still (without responding), I apologize if I attacked you. That certainly was not my intention. I consider you my friend. I am just worried about it affecting your treatment drugs. I really don't care if you decide to drink an occasional glass of wine AFTER Tx. But, just look at what happened to me. I wasn't not drinking any all through my treatment and in fact gave up alcohol 19 yrs ago. But, even though I went undetected on week 4 of the Sovaldi/Peg/Riba, was undetected week 8 and was undetected on 1 week post treatment... I still relapsed. I don't want you to relapse on your Harvoni, plain and simple... Take care. Merry Christmas, Susan400
Hi OM
IMHO I believe that everyone knows what the truth is in each of us, purely from a common sense point of view. That being said, brings me back to personal choices, where we are at maturity wise, where we are at in our sobriety, if we are just making the motions still romancing our addictions (if struggling w/any addiction) or walking the walk. Ultimately it comes down to the individual to make that decision. I'm stage 3-4 Fib and had virus 30+ and haven't felt this good in I can't even remember how long. I'm not willing to take a chance with alcohol, above that I don't desire it......sorry so wordy, I get like that but I just want to get my point across, hope I was not too harsh.....
Time to go
Peace and Blessings my friend
Namaste........deb
And then I asked two other hepatologists. One said: No alcoholic drinks anymore, the other one said: Max. One drink a day. I'm fibrose fade 3. What is the truth?
I'm in a trial of Gilead at the moment and asked the hepatologist if I could have a glass of wine with my Christmasdinner. He said: Ok, but take care that it's a good glass of wine
I told a dear friend about this question posted by a someone in my support group. She is an alcoholic but has been sober for 5 years
My friend thought it was "mean" for you to post this comment to your fellow heppers who cannot Ever have a drink again. It was something that I hadn't thought of, really, although it did seem an odd post
She also thought it sounded like classic alcoholism as well but she is in recovery so she kinda looks at things through that lens
I am certain that you were not trying to be mean, Magnum
A healthy, happy holiday to you and fingers crossed on SVR!!
Oh gosh, I knew that ;-) that would be like the hunters who went home ....
Da Da Dum!!
Btw, how are your headaches? And eyes?
