Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi everyone, I got the results of my 12 week viral load test and my viral load went from 8,500,000 to 446. Yessssssssss....... I am a responder to the meds. Yaaahhhooooo......Yiiippppyyyyy.... Rock On.......... My Mds said they want me to try and do 72 weeks of treatment, yucko.......I need to keep blasting these suckers until they are completely eliminated. What ever it takes to get rid of this, I will do. The past few weeks have been a little rough. The exhaustion got worse. Was hard to imagine it could get worse. I was even having thoughts as to how the heck will I be able to make it through this. How will my body be able to stand this. Then my blood work showed my hemoglobin was extremely low and my MD said that is whats causing the utter exhaustion. They started me on Procrit last Friday and I am just waiting for it to kick in. Hope it kicks in soon. My pancreas has been perfect (knock on wood) and I am able to eat everything with zero pain. Thank goodness for that as eating healthy is very important during treatment. Time will tell if I ever close up again. I just KNOW it was the inflammation from the HCV (Hep C Virus) that caused my divisimed ducts to swell closed. Once this virus is eliminated I hope I never have to be stented open again. Time will tell. The flu feeling is a smidge better but my MD said I may have it all through treatment. I hope not. The fact that it is a hair better is a good thing. I have been happy to see alot of people continuing to look for the why of our pancreas problems. I don't believe in an idiopathic diagnosis for pancreatitis. There is a reason and you must find it in order to stop the continuing damage to the pancreas. If we can treat the condition causing it, we have a better chance at stopping it. I know this does not apply to everyone, as we have many reasons for our disease. But if there is alot of unknown for why this keeps happening to you, keep looking until you have the why's. If your Md won't keep looking, find one who will. I just wanted to share the good news with everyone. I will try and post more frequently as energy permits. Talk to you all soon and my prayers are with everyone. . Love, w AKA - The Exterminator (kicking some viral ass) --------------------------------- Yahoo!
