Spring is in the air!
Hello there...It has been awhile since I've posted and I have to say that I am finally feeling better. My triple treatment, for Hep C, ended in the middle of December...almost three months ago and spring is in the air! I was supposed to be finishing a 48 week treatment plan for Hep C this very weekend, but the virus broke through the treatment after five months of being virus free and treatment was stopped.
I have to say that it's been a long winter though...not only has the weather been really bad, but the cold has really effected my Cryoglobulinemia, a disease of the blood that gets worse in cold temperatures. This disease is associated, in some cases, with Hepatitis C. It has been a painful winter for me but, somehow I have become a better person.
I still may have the Hep C virus, but I have quit smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and have faithfully visited my therapist once a week. I also recently cleared up a bad case of unwanted or the lack of good bacteria in my digestive system. I feel much better, my voice has gotten a lot better, and I am starting to get my strength back.
I still have another three months to go before I try another treatment for the Hep C and am really looking forward to the coming of spring, flowers, and the warm weather to be upon me and all of you!
It's amazing what a little faith can do!
