Hi I'm new here.

I found out a few months back that I had hep c.

4 weeks ago I started treatment (maveret) tablets after 2 weeks of treatment I had blood tests. It's gone totally I am now 4 weeks in and have 4 weeks left of treatment. It's brilliant what can be done now.

When I first found out I was going to arrange my funeral and everything.

Eating no problem Some nights only couple of hours sleep so I have lots more time to get things done 😂😂doesn't bother me I just get back to bed when I can & doze like a proper elder 😂😂 I haven't been well for long time so I don't think it's the meds. It isn't bad enough to stop just more alarming than anything. 😍 next year best year 😘

So you’ve nearly done it then..well done such a monkey off your back,good you came on here to say hello👍

Ashley589 in reply to Sillysausage234

I'm a very personal person. I have watched and you all helped me without knowing it would of been ungrateful for me not to pop in and say hello and thankyou but not until I could have something positive to maybe help someone else with. It was a rollercoaster for me as I only found out a few months ago and that was down to getting help for alcohol.

Strange how things work out I haven't touched a drop since my liver tests came back with this

Ashley589 in reply to Sillysausage234

Thanks Alan i will do the alcohol has not been a issue since I realised the depth of my problems. Hopefully it will stay that way.

It's now time to rebuild my life all this has made me realise I wasted so much of my adult life through substance and other things im nearly 43 where did it all go.

Well never mind what’s gone on before we can’t change that can we ,I also took many wrong turnings into a brick wall mostly but as long as we learn from it and keep working at it that’s what’s important.👍
