    I keep looking at these results going “Is this real?”

    My ferritin has gone from full-blown next level hemochromatosis at 988 to vampire victim out of range 8.
    My new APRI score is .211
    Everything else is nicely in range except absolute neutrophils is 1256 (Range 1500 – 7800). I’m just chalking that up to a side effect of the DAAs.
    Oh and drum roll…

    HCV Quant: <15 UND!!!

    This girl needs a steak. For real.

    Brilliant news Erica! I can imagine how unbelievable it is- but as you see, that is what happens here, take the pills, wait for results which feels like forever, then it seems like it took no time at all for the miracle to happen. Enjoy.

    Great to see it running according to plan.

    Provided you have 0.5 of a neutrophil we are happy.

    YMMV

    I have a few more than that. So I guess we’re happy then. :)

    Hazel, it’s pure magic. It’s not hard. It’s not painful. I’m so grateful the technology has advanced to this point, and I’m grateful that Dr. Freeman saw fit to take on the goal of ridding the world of Hep C. What a saint. How lucky we all are.

    Thanks so much, beahavan. I’m very relieved. And I’m just eating more steaks to boost up my iron. That’s an easy handling. And it makes me feel wayyyy better. I do love steak. :)
