Kittyface is done
Hello Everyone,
I'm off SOC + Alinia. Geno 1, big vl, cleared at week 9. I stopped full dose tx at 48 weeks Feb 7 then tapered INF for a month while continuing full dose of Alinia.
A few days off tx I started feeling fantastic and thought I was going to be spared the months of detox I've read about here. However, being a klutz and not a very good housekeeper I got bit by a brown recluse spider while sticking my hand under my couch. It was a nasty bite with lots of flesh eating, swelling, streaks going up arm, etc. so I had to have the most horrible antibiotic known to man -- Levaquin -- avoid it like the plague, in fact, I believe it's used to treat Leprosy.
After dosing I begin to feel very unwell then see on the net it's very liver toxic plus other nasty sx. So I haven't been feeling too well, fatigue, feverish, nausea, but these are all sx of Levaquin. Of course, I jump to conclusions and think it's the BIG H but will have my 24 week test soon and hopefully allay my paranoia.
Been following you all in your journey and wishing you all the best.

Recluse are some of the nastiest spiders, worse than widows, oh yuck, I feel so bad for you! A friend of ours was bitten by one, they are sneaky!
The pain they went through was awful, Glad you finished and all is well now though!

ALLRIGHTY THEN!!!! I'm almost there too, 3 more shots then 4 week taper. good luck. us Aliniaers got ta stick together. love, jerry
Congratulations on finishing!!
I wonder if there was any radiation exposure when the bite happened.
If so maybe we can expect some metamorphism and later on see a beautiful SVR girl swishing high between the skyscrypers!!
Best swishes !

Spiders, that must have been so scary, OMG! I never see really any spiders around here, just a little one now and then (pollution probably kills them;o) ,,,but when we go to the country, I never - ever -ever take a pair of shoes, sneakers or boots out of the closet and put them on unless I first turn them up -side down and shake them real hard. I think I saw John Wayne do that in a cowboy movie and said Ooooo never thought of that! ;o)
So again good luck!
