Just 4 weeks to go.....

[Windstune]

I have had 48 injections now out of 52, I'm in Spain and they do a 52 week course. It is a time for looking back over the year, it is a time of recalling all the unbearable side affects and realising I am bearing them, I don't know if my mouth is better or if I have just got used to the pain, the ulcers and of course that lovely little outburst of candida, oral thrush, which has been with me from a couple of months in. It is time to look back at all the times I found solace in this forum, reassured that I'm not the only one and gleaning any bits of advice, dietary or medicinal. I have cried more times in this forum than when watching Bambi, sometimes the only reason is that I identify so much with you guys. I saw my consultant today and as I've been plagued with diarrea for over two weeks now was on point of quitting until you guys urged me on, an hour at a time, a day, a week.... only 4 left!! My consultant has reduced my Ribavirina to 800 and the pegasus to 135mg, he says after doing 48 weeks at full dose this won't be a problem and the main concern is my weight is now down to 50 kilos. I have meds for the diarrea now too so everything crossed I'll complete. I don't see my consultant until a month after my last injection so I guess that will be moment of truth for me.So here I am still hanging on by what's left of my finger-nails sending you all a huge Thank You :-) xx
