where to go from here

So I got the result that the virus is undetectable in my blood 

which is amazing news...

I wrote to the Consultant to give him the results and ask his opinion about the lenght of treatment times, I have enough medicines for a further 3 weeks, 12 weeks in total, but there is a 5% chance that i may relaspe within 18 months. According to the figures my genotype 3 is the trickiest to treat and stay 'undetectable'. So if I took 1 more month of treatment it would give me a 3% better chance of staying undetectable, 2 months more medicine 6% better chance of staying undetectable and 3 more months 10% chance....


I feel a little exhausted from being on this medicine, my side effects are headaches, liver pain, joint stiffness, skin lesions and general malaise, nothing too dramatic really but annoying....I have sent off to buy 3 more months of generic treatment from India, through the buyers club...so hopefully it will be here in a couple of weeks....half way through this crazy journey.


I haven't been taking any herbs at all really....feeling deflated and knackered, it seemed like I was at the end of a marathon and now I am half way through....My energy levels are so low that i cannot really work at the moment which is a very strange place for me to be. I love my work and have never had so much time away from it, feels a bit like I am losing parts of myself.
