Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi Don, Thanks for giving me this info.I completely understand now. My thoughts are that I never have to have alcohol again which is fine. I get that part. The part I am having trouble with is after the tx, and this virus is gone, I have to continue through life as if I still have it? That was the area I was not clear on. But I see now that because of the virus and possible issues with the liver we need to make and sustain the changes even after the tx ends. Hugs, Donna [ ] reply to don- it never got sent it went to my drafts. so disregard it today we are back to the same old story." " < >Date: Friday, April 29, 2011, 12:20 PM Hi Guys, It's me, Donna, getting ready for shot 17 tomorrow night. Since I got words of wisdom from our friend, don, i started taking a new pill called risperidone. It is only point 5 mils and i split it in half and take half in the am and the other half in the pm. I have been on celexa for a couple years and they lowered the dose on that while i take the new stuff. I will only be on it during tx then they will get me off of it. I don't know what it's is or isn't doing but i am a different person already. I have my mind back and can think without the brain fog. I am much less exhausted and now feel tired instead. Right this second my liver is screaming at me in pain for some reason but other than that i feel like there is a light at the end of this tx and i am beginning to see it. i also am looking forward to it. These are the first positive thoughts I've had in 4 months. None of those kind of thoughts had entered my mind since I started tx. All I would think is "one day at a time" but maybe this little pill is exactly what i needed. Also, don mentioned i need more water and i know i do but as it is i wet the bed every night and i peed my panties at work today so i am trying to find a better balance. i drink water from the time i get up until i go to bed so i better start measuring it and when i get to the gallon mark stop. lol Not to worry I had spare undies in my desk. (omg i even made a funny) thats also a first in a long time. So, i wish everyone well in their struggle. We all have our own story and i am happy to report my is getting better everyday.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi Donna I have read that it is wise to pretend one still has HCV after treatment and curing. I dont remember if it said for how long, so I assume at least for years - to give the liver time to heal. Most definately do so for the 6 months post-treatment, because one can relaspe. Then there is always the re-infection issue. The way I figure it, if one is going to do this protocal for 'years', then why not for the rest of one's life? It cant hurt, and it will promote a healthier life. I know that if I ever have the chance to rid my body of this dragon, this will be my path. Being infected has already changed my life and thinking in major ways, and I cannot see ever reverting to the old me again. I will always be aware that a bug can creep up out of my distant past, and snag me. 'That' is spooky. love don in ks From: dmgarr@... <dmgarr@...>Subject: [ ] reply to don- it never got sent it went to my drafts. so disregard it today we are back to the same old story."
