so I can plan ahead...

What are the "known" lingering conditions after TX?
and/or
What side effects "never" go away?

Bad vision is one possible permanent side effect.

I seem to be acquiring a growing contempt for doctors...

ahahahahahaha! Too true.
And that's one common side-effect that ain't never gonna go away...

As for amzolt's question: to the best of my ability to discern them, now
three years post-therapy, I have no lingering side effects from treatment.

On the other hand, I'm getting old, and there are definitely side-effects.

But on the up side of *that*, it's WAY better than the alternative ;-)

I mentioned post treatment side-effects in my original post. Please
let me clarify -- my treatment failed so the side effects I have are
from the Hep-C and, as was so delicately stated, I'm becoming an old
fart (57).

I don't know that there are any lasting post-treatment issues. What
hair I lost grew back; my nails thickened-up again; my vision may have
been affected but it could be that oldfartitis again; I have red bllod
cells, white blood cells, more energy than when I was in treatment.

All-in-all if I didn't still have Hep-C I'd probably be out dancing on
the weekends. ;o)
