Well a couple of things have happened since the last update.
First off, I stopped the Famcyclovir according to my last post. Unfortunately I then got shingles. It started off as a vague pain in my back and progressively got worse over a few days until the pain was quite intense. At this point we decided I should pop into hospital to see what was going on. Initially there was not much of a rash but they admitted me as they suspected it was shingles. The next day a rash had appeared in a band from the middle of my back to my belly button. The pain was quite bad too and it was rather itchy. The hospital dudes gave me some pain killers, morphine mainly. This killed the pain. They gave me IV Famcyclovir to possibly prevent it getting much worse. After a couple of days they discharged me with a supply of morphine. A day or two later I started to get bad nausea due to the morphine. I quit the morphine, maybe the pain would not be as bad any more? Luckily it was not. However, the itching was shocking. I also felt a bit off for a week or so. After two or three weeks the itching very slowly diminished although even now, many months later, it is still a little bit itchy.
After that episode the doctors put me back on oral famcyclovir.
The liver has been a little better, it even registered a normal reading at one point. As the liver function seemed to have plateaued the doctor decided to drop the steroid level to 4 mg. Six weeks later, this week in fact, and the liver was not worse so the steroid level was dropped to 3 mg. Hopefully everything goes OK over the next six weeks.
I had another purchase too, 335 kw of supercharged V8:
