Good news and bad news….
On the good news front had a great start to the week after a good weekend. Strange as it may seem I have started to look forward to injection days [Friday in my case], I actually feel better afterwards! Earlier in treatment I felt better the further away from injection day [...]
To cut a very long story short they are looking at making treatment part of the guidelines for everybody who has Hepatitis C, not just those with moderate or severe liver damage. I’m not convinced that is a good idea myself but some may consider it good news. On the bad news side nothing, zilch, [...]
Not all of them obviously….
Drug addicts do get somewhat of a bad rep within the NHS, mostly for good reason. The same goes within the Hep C treatment world, current users make very bad patients [we are taking the street drug addict in the main], they rarely follow up initial diagnosis and rarely complete the [...]
Not a great week to be honest, felt pretty tired all the time more so than usual and unfortunately work was the first thing to give, which isn’t really fair.
Putting work to one side it wasn’t a bad week, did some shopping and scooped up a few nice items amongst them an organiser and folio [...]
You get a lot of invites to pity parties in the hep c game, some even come from yourself. My policy is to turn all such invites down, after all there are many, many people worse off than yourself.

What a great week!

b) “I need to watch where I’m going”
Now its not my [...]
I’ve got the key to the door, never been 21 before…..
Now that was a rough week
Nothing major but I think the combination of a bit of an ear infection, ditto mouth, a bit throaty and the usual tiredness pulled me down a little. Have still remained quite active, got plenty of work done, [...]
The meeting with my consultant happened as planned on Monday. It went well really and to cut to the chase I’m still on treatment and will have another PCR at 24 weeks, once we have the results of that we can move forward with one or two options already agreed. I suppose the main thing [...]
