Hang in there DM. Riba makes a slow exit so don't expect too much, too soon. Keep taking care of yourself, those numbers are looking good.

Hey DM,
Congrats on the great numbers, but sorry to hear you're so uncomfortable. Hopefully you'll start noticing some improvements in that area soon.
The reason your signature won't add that update is because you're limited to a total of 255 characters (at least we're better than Twitter!) Once you reduce the size, you'll be able to update it with the new info.
thanks Tig!

Hey DM,
Don't be too hard on yourself, recovery definitely takes time. Many hope that they'll stop the meds and quickly feel better. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, I wish it did! Having not experienced the Viekira Pak/Riba withdrawal process, I can only tell you that the VP should clear fairly quickly, but the Riba is another story. It took months to get past all of it's parting gifts. Took over 6 months to get beyond the sun sensitivity and anger issues. But after sharing all of that good news, you should start to notice considerable improvements over the next two or three weeks, maybe sooner. I'm going to put in a good word for you and see what can be delivered! Hang in there buddy, you have the hard part behind you!
Thanks Tig,
It took me 6 months to get over first tx.... dunno why I thought this time would be different.

I don't miss it a bit. Felt real crappy though for 4 days... starting to feel a little better?? I think?
Must be withdrawals.
weird.
At least I'm not huffing and puffing anymore and no more riba hyper rush..
Just feel messed up in the head and keep getting letters out of order and have to go back and correct. Weird sh*t.
