Time For Change :)

[belintte]

Hi all

So it's all change hey. I think it sounds better, I have just gone through my 4 month treatment Ribavirin and Solvaldi due for my first bloods to see if its cleared but all looking good,fingers crossed it doesn't come back, as I know it can. It was a hard 4 months due to the times I had to take meds but apart from insomnia in the first week all was ok If you need anyone to chat to I'm here just give me a shout, but I do tell it how it is and don't sugar coat anything, I have had one person before who could not handle that but that's me. I have lots of other heath issues too, emphysema, degenerate spine disease, depression (not surprising lol). I will do my best to answer any questions. Take care all xx

Hi, I have read some of your earlier posts. I hope you get those clear results very soon. I think its time you had some good news and 1 less ailment to cope with 😍😍😍best wishes

Hi, thanks very much I hope so too. I wish I had never given up smoking to tell you the truth ever since then things just keep happening lol, the damn hospital has become my second home, certainly had my moneys worth of the NHS, then again I kinda paid for it working all hours before things started occurring lol. Good job I have a sense of humour and eat bowls of Prozac for brekky lol Stay safe x It is crappy not being able to do things though, just make the most of everyday you never know what's round the corner

[navigatinglife in reply to belintte]

Yes totally agree. I ve got my fair share to cope with like alot of over 50's😂 just be nice to get a break now and then. But you have it worse. Hats off to you for giving up the smoking. Alcohol as well so no soul searching vices 😦 that is tough. Hope the prozac helps 😁Sense of humour is a must. I hope you have a decent weekend, 😍😍

[belintte in reply to navigatinglife]

Lol yes if we let it get to us we would crumble, personally I am a stubborn bitch and wouldn't give people the satisfaction of that lol I do like a laugh for heavens sake that's all I have left, if I loose that id be right in the crap lol then I think I would give up!....oh yeah! lol You have a decent weekend too I live in London but no doubt my crappie footie team Crewe Alex will loose again tomoz, now that pisses me off lol x I'll have to start replying on ipad so I can add some decent emoji's Take Care x

[navigatinglife in reply to belintte]

😃😃😄Girl after my own heart then re the stubbornness, I am self employed. Self everything bar selfish 😂 Been to heaven and hell back and forth a few times so I pretty much do nothing, no socialising, no footie following. But i have a happy soul and my glass is always full. I'm using a phone are the emojis better? My daughter lives in Stoke Newington, fast and furious London! Would love to go visit her once I feel up to it, 😍😘😘

[belintte in reply to navigatinglife]

Yep give me a shout when you make it to Stoke Newington I'm just across the water in Charlton we could have a coffee. I bloody hate London lol x

[navigatinglife in reply to belintte]

Thank you 😍 Will do, going to try and get out and about after being underground for so long. need the vitamin d apart from communicating with real people in the real world 😂 funny how we often dislike the places we live. hope moody Monday treats you kindly 😍😍

6 weeks to go in a 6 month course sick the whole time finally got the okay to reduce ribavirin TG. Hopes it makes a difference congrats on finishing do you feel any better

[belintte in reply to L444]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that but its worth it and you will feel better as for starters you know you are not going to die from liver disease n everyone thinking you were an alcoholic as they do and you will feel better within yourself. I had trouble sleeping the first week but my consultant put me on a short course of sleeping pills, don't be scared to ask your consultant for help, they have your best interests at heart and I hope the reduction in your meds helps you, how are your blood stats going? When your feeling like crap remember your last viral load count and know its going down all the time. Have a good weekend and feel free to chat anytime.

Virus not detectable @ 4 and 12 weeks so fingers crossed if I stay clear for 2years that’s cured have been a hermit for 3 months due to feeling so ill which surprised me because before diagnosis I felt ok just a little tired good Luck keep us posted

[belintte in reply to L444]
