Yes,exactly I have my doubts,i was UND at 12 wks for the first time this round.Stay well U are always so helpfull Thanks a lot
Sorry to hear you're have a rough time Naya. Seeing this is your 3rd tx, I understand your anxiety of wondering if things are working and thinking that some of your symptoms might indicate a return of the virus. Try not to worry so much. As you well know this is very challenging, with some very difficult days. If you feel up to it now that TS Debby has left FL, try to get out for some fresh air and walk a bit. It does help. I'm not sure your doc will approve a PCR now, just 3 weeks after your 12 week PCR. Maybe wait a bit for the next one. See what the doc will approve. Curious, when was your first UND during this tx? Good luck to you.
Thanks for understanding,yes I am up all day ,using thredmill getting ready to work in week or two.
You can always come here to vent but you should post on the Social side of the forum.
Liver enzymes vary. Mine dropped during tx, then went up and didn't drop again until after I finished tx.
Interferon can cause digestive problems. Be aware of what you eat.Exercise is one wonderful thing we can all do for our digestion. Take a walk after you eat, if you can. And don't forget to drink more water and then even more.
Depression is also a common side effect of treatment.
Nobody can plan on what side effects they might have or might not have however we can try to be as informed as possible.
And yes, tx is a bumpy ride, take it day by day.
Some will be better than others.
Hang in there.
