It's Working!

It's working! The treatment is working. The viral load is the number of Hep C viruses in a given sample of blood. It's way, way down.

While this is not a guarantee of cure, it is very good news indeed.

Only Miserable

For two weeks I was miserable. I felt as if I had a huge, crushing weight on my chest. Headaches, muscle aches, sinus congestion. Still, it was only misery. It could have been worse. Fight that virus, T-cells!

Now I've had some respite. I had been anxious about all the things I wasn't doing, so it's a relief to plod through and do them. I've even had some creative ideas.

I'm making an effort to stabilize awake times, so I can get my medicine in a better rhythm. I'd better keep some liquid meals in stock, so I can get quick nutrition at times when even boiling water for coffee or instant oatmeal seems beyond me.

I hope to get viral load test results this week. Is the treatment working?
