Kittyface is done

[kittyface]

Hello Everyone,

I'm off SOC + Alinia.  Geno 1, big vl, cleared at week 9.  I stopped full dose tx at 48 weeks Feb 7 then tapered INF for a month while continuing full dose of Alinia.

A few days off tx I started feeling fantastic and thought I was going to be spared the months of detox I've read about here.  However, being a klutz and not a very good housekeeper I got bit by a brown recluse spider while sticking my hand under my couch.  It was a nasty bite with lots of flesh eating, swelling, streaks going up arm, etc. so I had to have the most horrible antibiotic known to man -- Levaquin -- avoid it like the plague, in fact, I believe it's used to treat Leprosy.

After dosing I begin to feel very unwell then see on the net it's very liver toxic plus other nasty sx.   So I haven't been feeling too well, fatigue, feverish, nausea, but these are all sx of Levaquin.  Of course, I jump to conclusions and think it's the BIG H but will have my 24 week test soon and hopefully allay my paranoia.

Been following you all in your journey and wishing you all the best.

Now that's a whole other kind of EOT story!  I'm sorry you went through that but very glad you are UND.  Here's hoping for that 24 week test, will be watching for your post.

Good luck, Kitty!

Congratulations! Lots of folks finishing around now, glad you are one. Sorry about the spider. I had Levaquin before from a hospital bug. Pretty pricey stuff!
