Good sx on treatment and open thread


There are some good things that happen on tx.
I developed serbatious dermatitis about 6 months before tx. One month after starting tx it went away. I also had a planer wart that subsided to the point that I could hardly see it. Curse the luck, they came back after ending tx but what the heck, I had relief for about 10 months.
Has anyone else had things like this happen on tx? Who was it that posted about being euphoric on riba?

Since I already had hcv when I started tracking such things I don't have a basis for comparison for 'pre-hcv'. But LDL, HDL, Triglycerides have always been abornormally very low.  Wasn't until 6 months ago that I had higher than 100 ldl. Was at 105. Have never been overweight and no family history. Someone mentioned a few weeks back that low cholesteral, ldl specifically, could have been one of the HCV 'pointers' (my term).  I do have hi BP which has not abated since end tx - I guess that one's with me for good, or until I quit smoking.

My cheeks were a little chubby and I had the beginnings of a double chin before treatment. The treatment burned away the unwanted facial fat and left me even more handsome than I was before, Amazing.

Positive sx.  Hmmm.  Tx has made me forget I am going through menopause.  I used to be a clean freak and I no longer care if my house is dirty.  I have learned that roses really don't have to be pruned, laundry can wait, organization is not that important and my dogs & cats don't shed nearly as bad as I do.
