Six weeks after EOT - Life is Good

[Facta_non_verba]

Tomorrow will be six weeks since my last dose of ribavirin to finish 72 weeks of treatment. Previously I posted a wish list of what I hoped to regain. Amazingly enough, I've already got a lot of what I wished for. Here's the list:

I want my energy back. NOT YET
I want my hair back. NOT YET
I want my appetite back. MMM. FOOD IS GOOD
I want my libido back. YEP
I want my personality back. YEAH!
I want my 20 pounds back. GAINED 12 POUNDS
I want my wife to have her husband back. WISH GRANTED


My energy is improved but not quite there yet. Things seem fine then all of the sudden I'm wiped out. I also have the weirdest aches and pains, and I ache after pretty mild exercise.

I'm glad for the improvement so far and just have to wait for the rest.

Congratulations on life getting back to normal. I bet everything will return, except maybe your boyish hair. :)

When my husband, Mr. Not-a-Vain-Bone-in-His-Body, saw his balding spot, he went into shock. I told him no one notices because of his height but it didn't help a bit.

Hope your hair returns with a vengeance, along with everything else.

All the best,
Port

Give it time, you'll be answering yes to the rest of your wish list soon.
Feel good!

Hopefully the one that's not on the list will come back a big fat zero. I hope that here is no difference between # 4 and # 7.

It seems as though we finished last riba at about the same time I took my last dec.9. 2008.

I don´remember but were you UND at four weeks post?
Othervise I have about the same as you and the ache and pain has been worse than during tx lately.
Yes after mild exercise but I´ve been stupid enough to overdo the exercise aswell .

I also got some real disturbing depressiv tendencies once in a while worst came 5 weeks post, hasn´t lasted long though so far thx God.

Be well.

Thank you so much for the update. I was wondering if you can ever be the same again after TX? It is so nice to hear you got your mojo back. It gives me hope.
