The past week has been really hard on my husband, but he’s getting through it. After he collapsed and hit his head on the table (A Call for Help post), he was really dizzy for days. His doctor came to the conclusion that he probably had a concussion; although the emergency room doctor never said anything to us about it. In addition to that, because the side of his head hit the table, he can hardly open his mouth. It’s even an ordeal for him to chew.
But aside from that, he is definitely feeling better today. Believe it or not, we even laughed about the whole sequence of events since he started treatment. Week one was rough but tolerable. Week two, his mom winds up in the hospital. Week three he collapses. So far, week four is extremely uneventful, and we plan on keeping it that way!
Best to you and yours!
Lisa :-)

He is undergoing a NEW TREATMENT using a combination of Ribavirin, Pegasys and a drug that was just approved for the treatment of hepatitis c- Nitazoxanide (Alinia). He was diagnosed 6 years ago with Genotype 4. In 2003, he tried combo therapy- Pegasys and Ribavirin. He cleared the virus at six months but relapsed. Until now, there was nothing to do but wait for a new drug. This is it. So he is trying again with the addition of Nitazoxanide (Alinia).
