SVR IS MINE

Unbelievable...it's all over.  I had my six month post tx PCR drawn last week.

I got the news today.  

UND.

I can't believe it....for the last eighteen months (from the day I found out i had acute HEP C) until now-----From that time on i had NINE courses of antibiotics, took 18 pills per day, got pneumonia, costocondritis, four or five ear infections, two skin infections, cellulities, developed a 1 cm. kidney stone and hydronephrosis.....PASSED that big kidney stone, vomited nearly every day, lost a third of my hair, lost my JOB, had some hearing loss, itched like crazy, vomited some more, bled from the bootie,  developed post tx autoimmune disease that still is on an upward trend, and so much more.......

and I can't believe i'm about to say this.............but it was worth it.
