That is not common and does need checking out. Liver panel and viral load to rule out a relapse and other tests if that's not it.
YMMV

Hi. It's time to update my situation for reference to future readers. I treated for 16 weeks with Daklinza/Sovaldi. I elected to wait until the 3 month post treatment mark for testing, as my then-side effects began subsiding somewhat. Results came back a week ago and I received good news- I am non-detectable for HCV 3. I will get a final test done next year to give full peace of mind, although I am aware current standing is to take the 3 mth post test as virtually final. My remaining treatment side effects include some neuropathy to hands/feet, some tiredness/mild fatigue and at times a flat mood. I was Genotype 3a with F1, treatment experienced (Pegasus/Ribavirin). Best of luck to all. X

Congratulations on being SVR12, that's great news. Waiting until next year for your final test may be going a bit far. SVR24 is the big one that most of us on this forum are trying to reach.That 24 week post-treatment result should provide you with the certainty you are seeking. In the meantime I hope you can get some good advice about how to deal with your lingering issues. Best wishes!
G2, infected maybe in 1971?
Diagnosed HVnon-A non-B 1980s, revised to HVC 1990's.

Thank-yous to my doctor for the script, to Jan at FixHepC for wrangling, and to Dr Freeman for courage.
Kia kaha e hoa ma!

Hello AK123,

Congrats on the SVR12. Glad you did 16 weeks - it's clearly better for GT3s.

With the neuropathy please get checked for diabetes and thyroid function. Some B complex vitamins may well do no good but may help and won't do any harm.
YMMV

Well, I am only ten days after treatment virus free from tests and I am also feeling progressively worse with chronic fatigue, a flat mood/mild depression, unsatisfying sleep (ie waking exhausted) . as some time has elapsed how are you feeling now?
