Hi alen

I'm on Abbie 3D and ribavirin

I'm hep c type a

My treatment is for 24 weeks think it goes by how long you have had it and body weight.

I'm 22 weeks into the treatment and today I had a call from the liver nurse saying the staff had a meeting and all decided for me to stop RIBAVIRIN

But stay on Abbie 3D. Iv been undetected since week 4 I'm bit concerned to stop becouse I don't want to risk the virus comming back Hopfully not

It's realy affected me mentally and physically.

Hopfully that's it for hep c in my body

This evening I thaught shall I continue it's only another two weeks but if the Drs say it's ok then I am and so happy to do so I understand it will take a while to completely get out .

Iv s blood test in a months time so I'm hopping it's still undetected

What a ride this has been iv feel like I was dieing to be honest but the last 3 days iv felt better.

Thank you and thank you for replaying

Hi, sorry to hear you have yet another horrible symptom but hang on tight, only 3 weeks left. It's amazing how you've got through it. knowing you're clear should spur you onto the finish line despite it feeling a million miles away. Ugly rashes and the intense leg itching are the pits. I hope once finished you start to feel much better after the first 4 weeks for sure. 🌟🌟🌟

Hi all its been months now and blood tests are negative. Wonderful.

But ....iv now rumatroud arthritis yep somthing else.

Now we have a good working liver but cerroces.

Iv been put on another drug sulfasaline becouse I now have sacroiliitis and bone marrow oedema of the spine apparently caused by hep c or the treatment Abbie 3d and ribavirin.

Lovely so here we go again blood tests every week to watch my liver .

Iv had one pill and it's given me a burning In My stomach and bad nightmares.

So I'm wondering should I come off them confused . Com .

Hope everyone is doing ok. X
