HepCBoy:
Sister just finished week one. She’s had no side effects in a physical sense, but she seems “disconnected” mentally to some degree. Do you get that sort of “down” and “disconnected” feelings? She’s having a heck of a time sleeping, too, which may be a contributor to the other symptoms.

Appreciate any insight. Thanks for your blog!

Hi Hep C Boy

I too know the feeling with the liver. I could also feel it ’scraping’ against my diaphragm as I breathed when lying on my back. I am sure it was inflamation.

I think you are right to hold on to that smile - it is some good news amongst the rest of it and worth remembering during ‘bad’ moments.

Wishing you well
Ron

Thanks Nick!

If I had a Hep C Treatment Tip of the Week contest you would win first prize. But I don’t so you don’t.

Yes, I get this and suspected it was due to lack of excercise. Not a nice feeling.
Liked the sound of the cure Nick. Too much like hard work though.

>>legs

I know that feeling. I’ve had it when i’ve not been out for the usual long walk with the dogs for a few days due to illness or just too busy.

There is a trick, but it’s kind of hardwork in itself - harder than it sounds when you just see it written down.

When you’re in bed, or whatever, flex your toes, then the foot - like ALL over the foot, every single muscle, twist it and turn it as much as you can.

Then move up the legs - one bit at a time; foot to knee - knee to bum etc.

It’s just your muscles aren’t excersized i think - and that’s the only way to really do it if you can’t go for a long walk.

You need to do it alot - but it should make your nights easier.
