Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Today is the end of my treatment. I guess I'm a unique person because only one other person, that the Schrirring company knows of that has undergone their treatment, has had the weird side effect of blurred vision like I am having. My immune system is working really well, but the immune complexes, think of them like little chuncks of immunity, were too big to go through the vessels in my retina. So they're stuck there. So, no more shots or pills! I will have another PCR to test for the virus in six months. I will find out then if I am still " undetectable " . For some strange reason, this feels like an anti-climax. I'm very happy, but I feel like ... Ok...what's next? Is this it?? My vision may or may not improve. But, I'm adjusting and it was worth it. I still will have to have blood work for the next two months and another strange blood test to check my immune complex level. Very interesting stuff. Hope everyone is doing well, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 My vision went bad while on treatments also, so I did what a member here suggested and bought glasses at my local pharmacy. Then I waited till after 3 months off the treatments and got new glasses. I feel like a new person. I won't find out till January if I am undetected, but keep your fingers crossed. I think you vision will get somewhat better, but it take a few months for all of these drugs to get out of our systems. Glad you are finished, what a nice Xmas gift.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Barbara, congratulation on the end of your treatment. I cannot imagine how difficult the treatment must have been. I hope your vision improves quickly.
