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.

viva las sentance...now that's what I'd call a royal flush...HCV style...
and thank God it's all down the old JCCrapper now and you just have one beautiful cooler head (in wigless private at least).

It's nice to know termites aren't chewing on your innards, Huh???

that's quite a list, but at least most of that stuff has passed....not like the disease which just sits there saying "I'm comin fer ya"  or "howdy pardner" down your way.

shouldn't there be a special acronym for survivor status??  Like SVR+1  or +2 as the years go by??  that might give all the rest more hope!!
glad you made it....
is your autoimmune stuff getting better?
