Week 23

I wish I had genotype 3 instead of 1 because I'd be almost at the end of my tx.
But Im not as lucky as those with number 3, so I will have to be patient for another 25 weeks.
Have no choice really....
I went to see my nurse on Friday, she was supposed to give me a bag full of Interferons and Ribas, but instead she gave me nothing and asked me to come back in two weeks time.
Im not sure if I mentioned here that I wasn't undetectable at week 4 and week 12, which makes me a slow responder. At week 12 my viral load dropped from 250.000 to less than 615, so my doctor was happy to carry on with my tx. And I was pleased with myself too because I achieved a significant drop anyway.
I went for a blood test on Friday and I think my doctor wants to know if Im undetectable this time before he gives me my next supply of medication.
What's gonna happen to me if it's not undetectable? Will it mean that Im a non-responder? Will it mean that I'll finish my tx next week? I've only got one more enjection to do next Thursday ( there's only one Interferon left in the fridge)
Deep down Im quite excited, can't wait to lead a drug free life again LOL thick of taking Ribas every day and watching what I eat and drink.
The thought of new HepC drugs being tested on people right now as I write helps me stay optimistic. Im sure I will have another chance to get rid of the virus in the near future.
Let's see what happens in two weeks time when I see my nurse again. Will they stop my tx or not? :-)
To be or not to be, this is the question :-)))))

Week 21

It's week 21 of my combinational therapy, I have no regrets so far :-)
My life has never been better, I look healthy, I eat well, I still go to the gym 4-5 times a week.
Shorter hair proved to be a success with the general public, I recieved quite a few compliments.
My hair is still falling out but noone noticed it yet :-)
Im very happy at the moment and hope that all of you are happy too.
Love and hugs.

Bee Pollen

Do you like honey? I can't live without it :-) If you are exactly the same as me you will love Bee Pollent too.

I take it every morning with my freshly made juice and then fly with a speed of a giant bumble-bee LOL

It gives me energy, impoves my mood, helps me fight depression ( I don't take anti-depressants).

Bee pollen is 100% natual product made by bees.

I can't recommend it enough, my skin and nails never looked so healthy before. I look younger now and my friends started to notice.

My aunty Lina swears by it, she's been taking it for 3 years now with great results day after day.

The power of Spirulina.

I discovered Spirulina (blue green algae) in March 2007. I was looking for some kind of natural vitamin supplement, as I take 5 tablets of Ribavarin every day I just didn't want to add anymore pills. Obviously I was worried about my digestive system being able to cope.
Luckily I came across this magical seaweed that was used centuries ago by tribes in South America as superfood. Apparently it contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals and proteins.
Spirulina was successfully used for treating children of Chernobyl that were badly affected by radiation. It boosts immune system, gives energy and clears brain fog.
I felt the powers of Spirulina almost immediately, I mixed one tea-spoon of it with my favourite smoothie, drunk it and in half an hour I was running around my flat as one of the Stepford's wifes - cleaning, washing, ironing and dancing in between LOL I even managed to clean my fridge, something that not many people love doing.
I told my best friend about it, she bought it and just after 2 days of taking it she felt as if she was born again, she had bags of energy and a clear head.
My mother takes it every day with a glass of water, I don't know how she does because it tastes faul ( I must warn you), it takes some time to get used to the smell and taste of Spirulina, but once you notice the benefits, you will be addicted in a good sense of it :-)
