If 14 solpadol contain 7 grams of paracetmol, why bother to tx? You're probably doing more damage to your liver with the pills than the HCV. If you gotta do tx loaded, at least switch to somethig without all the tylenol.

I will definitely keep in touch. I will do whatever I can to be there for you. You have already had a space in my heart for a while and also your lovely boys. I've been looking at all the family pictures and you are a beautiful family. Hugs, Marcia

"I almust sure hes on hes 8 week of treatment so i think the almost 4 log drop is hes 4 week result, that will give him a good chanse of clearing at w12 dont you think Co."

Most definitely.  731 turned out to be his 4 week viral load so those are very good  results.  

"All three in my prayers Dublinange1 almag and CoWriter"

What a sweet thing to say.  Thank you so much.  It is deeply appreciated.

That means that he started on Aug 6th with a viral load of 5,432,149.

And on September 4th would be ONLY 4 weeks and his viral load went down to 731.

And that is wonderful!!!  

So he truly is now on Week 8 of treatment.  Hang in there.  So far his results are great.

I have not taken the opportunity to welcome you on the forum, but am doing so now.

I understand what you say about your husband not being the same as before treatment. This is temporary and it should even out at a certain time. If it doesn't, it will surely do so after treatment.

The treatment drugs themselves can put us in a very big brain fog. Some have it worse than others. Some cannot even say a sentence without getting lost in it and don't know or forget what they are talking about. So it might not even have much to do with the other medication he is on.

I have not had that severe brain fog, but I sometimes do feel like I am locked into a bubble and can't come out. It is very difficult to comunicate when you are like that. Sometimes it feels like your thoughts are totally empty. There is nothing in the brain. One just stares into a space and the space doesn't even seem to be there. It is difficult to describe and no one will be able to get through to you, as you cannot even get through to yourself.

So don't expect to have your quick witty husband by your side for a while... Just know that he loves you, and he surely does... He always speaks so highly and lovingly of you.

God bless,

Marcia
