So sorry I didn't post for so long, bit have been reading posts in the background 😊 just wanted to let you all know, that my 3 month bloods came back as target undetected still πŸ˜€ I was told that there was a policy change in UK where they now don't do a 6 month blood test anymore to say you are cured, but declare you cured after the 3 month test 😎 my nurse isn't so happy with this and sneaked another blood test in in November though lol. Hope you are all keeping well, and many thanks again for supporting me through this treatment 😘 I'm feeling ok, but some things like joint pain haven't gone away, like I was hoping, I suppose not all my health issues were cause by the Hep C, but at least I'm rid of that now 😁 all the best to you all, lots of love πŸ‘πŸ’•πŸ‘XX

Hi lovely, glad to hear you're cured πŸŽ‰and that you're having another test in 6 mths for reassurance. I have mine 9 months after the last along with fibroscan. Yes I have lots of random pains & stuff but I m blaming the meds for mine. I also think we'll need 2 yrs to recover from all the chemicals. Only a theory but keeps me sane. ..just πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜

Hi nav☺️, glad you are managing πŸ™ good to hear from you 😊 I was wondering sometimes, if it is some remnants of the meds that give me all these niggles, if anything I blame the Ribavirin lol! I didn't have a fibroscan for two years, they didn't even do one before treatment nor after. But since they will only phone me with the 6 month results, I don't think they will do one again. They were ready to discharge me on the 21/8 maybe I should ask for a final scan πŸ€” glad you are as well as can be, so lovely to hear from you! I'm off to work in a mo, have a good day πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜˜

Thanks. I have liver damage which I didn't have before treatment, hoping it isn't worse. They think it's my gall bladder also. Never been this poorly even with hep c. Drinking ginger & turmeric in hot water. So uncomfortable and sick. Just unlucky, but I also think the meds were too strong maybe for a tiny person. I haven't given up hope. Big hugs for you 😘😘
