72 Weeks Worked For Me!

Just had my 6 month PCR. Undetected! Could not have made it with out you guys.  Words can never express how much I appreciate you all.  This forum is a blessing. You all kept me going when I thought I couldn't make it one more day. A special blessing to all the old timers who give your time and support to us. I would not have made it through 72 weeks without your knowledge and experience. I wanted to quit treatment so many times but I would get on this forum and draw the strenghth from your posts. Now here I am SVR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool is right...and hello there, Ms. Math!

Great to see you but sorry to hear about the sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Something for all of us to keep an eye on.

So hugs back, Za, and hope all is well with you and your girls.

Regards,
Susan

Wow, hi Za! How cool to see you back again; I’m sorry to hear of the thyroid problems though. I suppose you have to attribute this to the interferon; what a shame. Thanks for stopping by; we miss our math teacher :)

Congratulations!

I haven't been on MedHelp for a long time, but coming here today I was just wondering about you. Wonderful news! So happy for you! 72 weeks does the trick for many of us!

How is your thyroid doing? I just got diagnosed with sub-clinical hypothyroidism, so it does seem like I did not escape this permanent side-effect after all. My TSH went down to 3.0 after treatment, but is now up at 5.16 again two years after tx. This is a warning to all that if you do not return all the way down to pre-tx  numbers, your thyroid might not be okay after all.

But I still think it was worth it. Enjoy your hep-C free life! It is so good to not be contagious anymore. :)

Hugs,
Zazza
