Hi folks,

I'm coming up to 21 weeks on treatment now (out of 48) type 1 HCV, I
was almost PCR neg at 4 weeks but not quite but was at 12 weeks so now
I'm just carrying on carrying on hoping any remaining bits of virus
hiding under the radar are getting there asses firmly kicked.

I'm one of the lucky ones as the treatment overall hasn't been too
bad, I still work full time, walk the dogs every day and generally are
able to live a normal life without too many side effects, a couple of
months back the itchy skin started but that seems to have done it
course now and really at the moment I'm feeling better than I have for
ages, not too wary and my thinking is clear. But as I have found it's
usually just a lull before some new symptom rears up.

Paul

Hi Paul,
Really glad to hear your news-
I am just into week 22 and like you I have to say I have been pretty
lucky.Patches of dry skin-itchy and yes even bitchy-
but for the most part still amongst the living.
Keep up the good work and live for the "lull's"

That's good stuff, both of you - Woofmix and Wallysgirl!
Apprehension of what tomorrow brings is part of the trip.
Try not to dwell on possibilities, what will be will be...

Keep on keeping on!

Cheers
