I dont know but with the hep dr. Labs 2week after start and again. at i guess would be 8th week. I would assume at eot. I guess it might be added services. Of whstever the hell going on in my abb and bowel. As i hsve access to those results and there have been. Mri liver etc etc are extensive. I still need to get them on what is going with my intestines. I have been diagnosed diverticulitis. Obviously the prior sugery and the sometime pain in what i was always told was gall bladder. I will be seeing dr wed and i want to talk about the damage or the lack of it in regards to my liver. He said :you have some damage. And thst is as far as it went. My excellent sono guy sas giddy at the clean test as were the. As well as The The MRzI guys. But i have some pain which is sometime significant inthe area of my liver. Should i have liver biobsi. Never big drinker or drugs ever but i need to find the question to ask Wed. It will be more difficult to arrainge this once the pills are done. Except hep related issues and harvoni..etc
The pill thing was disturbing to me because i couldn't. Figure out how msny pills should have left. Appreciate. Thoughts but i am really wrting it out bc i need to get into more depth with the gastro. Idsues and the hep c this visit. Something has an issue. In my body.
Thsnks foy allowing me to write it here so i wont forget.
I appreciate. Everything and all of you
Peace

I found it easier to take my meds in the morning just as my alarm for work went off. Kept water on the nightstand. Even with a 7 day dispenser sometimes couldn't remember if I had taken my meds???? Would often go back and check the dispenser.........don't think I have brain fog. Hard to have without a brain :)
Somehow I managed to get through without missing a day. My 4 week labs are scheduled later this week. Please say a prayer they come back UND.

I took mine with dinner each night and had a calendar just for it on my fridge. I marked a huge red X on the calendar so I knew I took it!

You should get a pill case that has Monday - Sunday on it. That will help for sure.

Thanks RudiRoo, I have had to count my pills the last 4 days even though I have an alarm set on my phone. Im going to try turning the bottle maybe it will help. I seem to be in a brain fog.

I have this trouble too. My solution is to turn my pill bottles upside down after I take a pill and right side up when I go to bed. Even If I forget to turn them up again before bed I know I didn't get up and take one during the night. I leave them on the same spot on the counter too because I am disturbingly absent minded and have been known to lose many important things.

Oh my gosh, if I didn't have my phone calendar and pills by day container there is no way I could remember. My brain was toast. I checked my container more than once every day and still even missed a dose. You are definitely not alone on this. If there is anyway to check and verify by posts then do it for sure. My missed dose haunts me to this day because I had a breakthrough. Good luck and I hope you figure it out.

I also did the same thing and that's when I started setting an alarm each day to take my pills. It was a scary feeling for me when I realized I just didn't know if I'd taken it or not.

You're not alone Brian. I did that too. Try to figure it out from the day you started, and the number of pills you have left.
Brian1412 said
May 23, 2015

I`m sure you`ve got nothing to worry about, Brian, I would take it as being undetected as that`s how your last viral load result was expressed.
A `normal` viral load looks pretty good to me! It`s all looking good, not much longer to go now!
Take care, keep in touch!
Brian1412 said

I have dr appointment tuesday and o need to ask about detected. Or undetected. know its all in right direction and in good position. To be in. But i dont see. That anywhere else .
Cinnamon Girl said
May 22, 2015
That`s ok then, thanks Brian.
You`ve been undetected right through from week 2, that`s fantastic!
Brian1412 said
May 22, 2015
I don't think they say it like undetected. I think they just say normal or give the VL , or positive and negative etc, He said it last time, but the tests were marked just like these are

Hi again Brian,
Glad you`re out of hospital now, you`ve been through such a lot recently with another sudden obstruction of your small bowel and having to be rushed to hospital and I`m not really surprised you`re feeling weak.
Are you eating ok, how is that going? Make sure you get enough rest and sleep and keep yourself well hydrated.
Good to see your viral load result has come in now, and it looks great! Does it say anything like `undetected` or `target not detected` on your results?
I`m doing fine, thanks for asking!

Outstanding Brian! Congrats are in order. 19 days and counting, you can do that holding your breath, lol! Not unusual to be tired at this stage of treatment. As you cruise across the finish line, treat yourself right, and don't push it. You know how to do that. Take the time now to rest and get ready for all that healthy living ahead of you!
