Thankyou C, the comments from you (& other people?) have been really encouraging & supportive to me. Good luck 39 year old female. The treatment really can be manageable. Work out where you will get support & things which will help you cope if it gets bad - & then hope for the best! Remember it is going to be time limited & you could be cured & rid of all the horrible feelings that go with having an infectious disease. I will keep looking back on the blog for if there is any support or encouragement I can offer you. Good luck.

final result

I found out a few days ago that I am still clear of the virus at my final 6 month check up. I don't think the news has actually sunk in yet. There is a less than 1% chance of it returning. I may go back to my GP in a year & ask for a PCR test to be sure it really is gone. I feel very lucky. I hope other people who try the treatment are successful in clearing the virus. I am gradually beginning to feel 'normal' again.
