finished treatment
I finished treatment about 25 days ago. I stll have this awful taste in my mouth and had bad constipation most of the time I was in treatment. I still dont sleep if lucky maybe I get 3 hours at night dont even get sleepy. Appitite is some better. How did some of you do after treatment.
I am so glad you doing well God bless. Prayin gor us all. You are so good to help with questions and I truly appreciate it.
Based on when started to improve, I would guess the metallic taste will be gone in about 2 weeks. The appetite will start to return shortly after that. My sleep has been great for a couple of months now. Better than before tx. Can't really tell you when it got better though. Wasn't expecting it to improve like this.
6 weeks post is pretty good. 10 weeks even better. I know how much I wanted to just feel better. It will come but it takes time. Drink lots of water, eat healthy, avoid carbs, you need to start exercising if you are not already. Walking and yoga will help.

i am 7 months post tx and im still not back to normal but getting better all the time.. the doctor said it would take a year..hang in there it just keeps getting better !
The ribaviran has a very long shelf lie...like, half a year!
Try to eat your veggies and ruits...and maybe avoid bread with white flour in it, to avoid constipation problems. A diet high in fiber, like beans and brown rice, will help clean everything out.
Also, maybe some mild exercise, where you sweat out some toxins, or a sauna~
Remember, it takes 3 weeks to get out of shape (physically) but 3 months to get back in shape. So, recovery rom the Treatment might take longer than the treatment itself.
I just chew alot of sugar-free gum...some days I have the bitter taste, but some days I dont- hang in there, and good luck!

Try to be patient. It takes awhile for your body to recover from all the
very powerful medications you have been taking.
Congratulations on finishing tx.
