I had my first 2 week blood test and from that found out that my liver enzymes have normalised and that my viral load has drops 6 million ish to 112. So the Drugs are definitely working.
I have been sent an appointment for the end of the month to have the CAT scan, re the lesion they found at my last ultrasound on my pancreas, and also sent further blood tests to check the health of my kidneys, as the dye they use in the CAT scan is particularly harsh on the kidneys, so they need to be functioning well before the test.
My intuition tells me that if I am to have the Cat scan I want to be in super health to start with and also would like to use herbs, that will protect against radiation, aid my bodies clearance of the dye whilst supporting my kidneys, so I think that I will wait til after the HnH Direct Acting Antiviral drugs are all finished. It doesn't make sense to me to over load my body with chemical stresses. I have asked fro another ultrasound so that we can monitor the lesion on my pancreas and am having that tomorrow.
I had some reflexology and learnt where the pancreas point it, so am now massaging my foot 'pancreas' and wishing the lesion away!
I read on a forum that potentially we could reinfect ourselves with Hepatitis C whilst on treatment with our own Toothbrushes and razors?? This seems crazy but I have also read that this virus can live for up to a month in dried blood cells outside the body….one super strong dragon able to lie dormant for so long. I am taking the precaution of changing toothbrushes etc. I have long been paranoid of my toothbrush infecting anyone else, especially as I often live communally and one never knows about others borrowing stuff…Today I am going to spend mostly imagining myself healthily and strong.
