Week 13: Update

Telaprevir Stage - Completed

Last night I had my final dose of telaprevir.  I am extremely grateful this drug adopted me as an ideal candidate for this triple therapy treatment.  

With this stage of the therapy coming to a finish I  completed my 2nd viral load blood testThe results will be available within 3 to 4 weeks.  

 

I found the nausea increased considerably this past week.  It took a great deal of focus and discipline for me not to give into purging. I found the food just wasn't digesting at the rate it should.  I really believe the fat was the catalyst for this.

I will not miss eating 20 grams of fat 3 times a day. One of the things I was most looking forward to after completing this stage is waking up in the morning to a breakfast with no added fat, no counting fat, and no forced eating. 



This mornings dose of meds was taken with multi grains and blueberries.  I notice a considerable difference in how I feel. The main difference being - I do not feel any food sitting in my stomach, fermenting.

Until next time,


Deborah
