Thanks everyone! Just got home from work and telling myself i MADE IT THIS FAR!!
Im so happy...and feeling well. Its such a strange feeling to feel well!
Thank you for all your replies! Each and every one of you!

CA- No I didnt ask for the numbers they told me my liver panel was normal..and at that point that was enough for me...

All they said was that my sugar, and sodium and proteins were elevated but not dangerously high. I need to have that rechecked in 3 months again.

Hope and pray I make it to SVR!!
So far Im thanking my stars above!

[fuzzy1dar]

I'm soooooo happy for you!  I know it was a long haul for you, geez it was hard for me to make it to just the 24th week. You're my hero!  Congratulations to You!

[Trish77]

Terrific news, Charm.  :)  Makes me really happy to see your post.  That final test result really seals the deal and you're almost *almost* there!!!!!  I'm SO excited for you!!

And...what's this "running off to work" thing?  I remember during treatment you were a little stressed about the need to find a job.  And now you are running off to work!!!!  So I take it the employment situation has improved for you as well?

Seems life awaits you and hard-earned, well-deserved.  Can't wait to see that SVR post from you!!!  Fireworks from Canada on that one ... we went into this together and weren't supposed to come out at the same time but we did anyway and here we go....!!

All the best, Charm....your new cape suits you VERY well.  :)

Trish

[charm27]

I was just sleeping and heard fireworks?????????????????????????????????????
That was you????????????????????
Well thank you so much!! Yes we made it this far! I keep praying to make it to the finish line!
If I do it will be the happiest day of my life!
If I dont I will be on line for the "new dugs of 2011 Bus" !!
Hoping your doing well....This is the first couple of days that I havent thought about this stupid virus since 1992!!!
I keep praying!!
The capes are in the closet!!
Love to you my friend
Feel well
Charm

[ladybug52]

Hope you don't mind that I'm dropping in and joining the svr party.......what great news. Everyone told me that if you can make it to 3 months, you'll make it to 6 and so on.

My sugar has been elevated since tx when I've had blood work done. My dr. kept telling me that he thinks I'm going to be diabetic. There is a condition called interferon induced diabetes, are you familar with that?

I finally asked for an A1C test which proved my blood sugars have been within  the normal range the last few months.

My thyroid did become underactive post tx, but how much of these symptoms are ordinary aging? I have a yr in age for every week you treated--in other words, I'm 55, and the ladybug52 is out of date!
Well, enough about me (it's all about me!) Congrats on your success!
Bug

[charm27]

THANK YOU for wishing me well!! I remember you so well and you ALWAYS had a word of encouragement for everyone! I did hear of inuced sugar due due INF. Wonder what the sodium issue is. I will re-check in 3months.

Thank you again Im praying with every breath in me for SVR!! (IM SO DRAMATIC ARENT I??) cant help it Ive been with this stupid virus TOOOOO long!

Love and health to you!!!
Charm

Congratulation,one tough ombre for going that many weeks......... Whats your secret???

[charm27]

Thank you so very much for all your warm wishes and support!
I know who each and everyone of you are and I thank you for it all!

My prayers go out to all of you as well!

Charm27

[kittyface]

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!  That is fantastic!!!  

How are you feeling these days?  I'm not feeling all that great but that's normal, right?  I guess we can't run a marathon a month after stopping.

Again, so happy for you.  You worked hard for this.

Best regards,

Kittyface

[kittyface]

Yes, interferon cause blood sugar levels to rise so when you quit tx they may become normal again.  I have diabetes caused by HCV before I started tx and from what I read don't expect it will cure itself even if I SVR.  

FYI, I don't know if you drink diet sodas or anything with aspartame but in me they bring on immediate insulin shock (low blood sugar).  I think the drinks fool your body into thinking you ingested a large amount of sugar and secretes too much insulin.  Try to watch your diet carefully and walk every day.  I know that's hard while doing tx but it will help your blood sugar levels which will in turn increase your chances of SVR.

[charm27]

Thanks much for your wishes! Yep made it thru 55 weeks!
Im 3 months post and feeling better, hair is still sprouting, energy is not totally back, but I feel 70% close to human!

Skin is still dry but nothing like It was before!
Only problem is pain in the knees since stopping tx...(Its been a slow process)


I wish you well ! Im hoping for the best!
Thank you.
Keep us posted
Charm
