Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 , I did the treatment last year, my viral load was 2.5 mil. ALT & AST were very high, don't remember now the number. My case, I'm genotype 3A since 1980. After 4 weeks of TX all my liver levels were normal, my viral load was undetectable at week 4. I was on the TX for 9 months. I could not work. I was in a world of hurt every freaken day. I did become anemic, but not until the 6th month. My TX ended Dec. 10th and am still undetectable. My next appointment with my hep DR. is in June. How long is your TX to last and what stage is your liver at. My biopsy showed my liver at stage 2 to 2.5. Do you know what this is? You are in all our prayers.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hello Doug Good luck with the tx. I have gotten used to living with flu like symptoms and cant remember what normal feels like. The joint pain has subsided over the past couple of weeks. The rest comes and goes.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 E. Since learning I had HCV in 94' my hard alcholal drinking stopped....completelty. I've had a glass of wive 4 or 5 times a year. I have never felt any pain or discomfort from the HCV. I exsercise regularly and try to eat healthy. I can't tell you the last time I had a Big Mac. I just don't eat any kind of fast foods. My Dr. recommended I do 36 weeks instead of 24 weeks (6 months). He wanted to be sure, so he add a bunch more weeks. I dreaded it emmensley. I thought tx time would never end. At the end I was miserable. Most of the side effects lasted for 2 months after the tx was over. By the way, you hear of other heppers that lost weight on the tx, well I gained 15 lbs. I tell you, none of my pants fit. I was a 32 waist, now I'm a 34 and loosing slowly. I eat a salad at lunch and with dinner. I just want to add that I feel great. How I feel now is how I felt before the tx last April. How is your health? How do you feel? What tx are you on? Glenn/Miami elisabeth Irwin <treechange55@...> wrote: Hello Glenn I am geno 3 also.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hello Glenn I have also stopped drinking and stopped eating junk food. I was going to resume my normal lifestyle post tx if successful but have now decided to keep eating healthy and to only have the odd glass of wine on social occassions. I had no symptoms when diagnosed. I can't wait until tx is finished. Though symptoms are bearable I can't wait to get my bounce back. Hopefully I'll have more bounce than pre tx as I will be cleared of HCVand living and eating healthier. Did you find this the case? The tx I am presently taking is Pegasys RBV alfa 2a. 2 tablets in the morning, 2 in the evening and a weekly injection. Glenn <miamiman33133@...> wrote: E.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hello Doug I'm in Australia, Friday has come and gone and my 10th shot is down. I have 14 weeks to go and am hanging in there. I am geno 3. I am also drinking plenty of fluids, got up twice through the night for water and am having lots of small snacks of healthy food like dried fruit, nuts, fresh fruit or a carrot. I am making a fresh juice every day out of beetoot, carrots, apples or whatever and having a multi vitamin with omega 3 with my juice. Take care.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hello Doug I'm in Australia, Friday has come and gone and my 10th shot is down. I have 14 weeks to go and am hanging in there. I am geno 3. I am also drinking plenty of fluids, got up twice through the night for water and am having lots of small snacks of healthy food like dried fruit, nuts, fresh fruit or a carrot. I am making a fresh juice every day out of beetoot, carrots, apples or whatever and having a multi vitamin with omega 3 with my juice. Take care.
