11 week CBC results

[alijee]

My 11 week CBC results are fine. Hgb is improved from 12.2 to 13.00 and ALT is at 24. Hence im feeling a little better. Now im able to walk a little. My weight is also improved from 50 to 51 kg which is un expected. Doc is giving me PK-Merz for fatigue which is helping.

he was almost double dosing riba. 1200mg and now down to 800mg, which is weight based for him.

O - didn't realise they dropped the riba dose....

yes Alijee, I'm also happy for you. It's been a tough ride for you and you are reacting strongly to the meds, even though you blood counts have been quite okay all along. I'm really glad they put your riba dose down. It was extremely high for your body weight, and I think it was that what made you feel so bad all along. I hope it will even out now that you are on the new dose and that your fatigue will become less prominent.

Hugs my friend, marcia

That is fantastic news!  So glad you stuck it out when things were so bad for you.  Your bloods are better than mine!  You are slightly ahead of me in treatment - things apparently do get better as your body adjusts to the meds.  Good on you for 'sucking it in' - someone made that comment and I love it - my new mantra - just ' suck it in' is getting me through the day sometimes!  Look forward to hearing how your viral load is doing when you get the results.

really glad to hear this for you....you've really been in the soup long enough.
Glad you stuck it out and are tolerating the meds better. I know at first it can seem like that will never happen, but for most the sides do settle down with time.

That is very good news.  You must be relieved.  I'm happy for you.  Have you had a viral load test yet?  Please let us know the results when you have them.
