Got a call from the good doctor Freeman today to say that the virus is undetected at my 6 weeks bloods. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I am on Sof/Dac from China
I have had this parasite for around 38 years and now it is not detectable.
As a bit of history – my week 4 bloods were viral load was below countable but still detectable. Geno 3a and no fibrosis. I have been sweating (a little) on the week 6 bloods and they are clear. No real side effects still except there are some days I need to sleep 9-10hours which is unheard of for me. So some fatigue and very slight nausea about half an hour after taking drugs, which lasts about 1-2 hours

Yes that’s really good news Ann. The last fortnight must have been a bit challenging, but all clear now and it must be a wonderful feeling.

And may there be many more happy endings for all of us.

Thank you so much every body for those great cheers from the sides!! I am sure that nearly of us will have this same outcome and look forward to hearing the great news from everyone else.

Poodle I think that I do not have fibrosis because I have lived like a Yogi really for most of that time. Mostly very healthy diet and exercize PLUS no alcohol since my early twenties up until a few years ago. I think that is when some of my overt symptoms started but still no fibrosis considering I am a Geno 3a which is supposed to have a higher incidents of serious side effects. I would really like to hear from others about their alcohol use over their lives and see if that may be a co factor in the development of cirrhosis/fibrosis. My understanding is that is a suspected link.

Hello Ann Bee that is fantastic news!! I am happy for you!! You must be ecstatic..

I have had the virus for 40 years and got diagnosed approx 26 years ago..I stopped alcohol around that time as I became quite sick with chronic fatigue (now I think may have been hep c). Since then I have lived a drug alcohol cigarette free life style and eaten healthy food and done yoga/chi gong off and on over the years. My health has never returned although my healthy life style and alternative treatments over the years probably contributed to the hep c virus staying at F2 for years and not progressing. Last year I became very sick and the hep C progressed to F3. I am not certain why this happened but I became very stressed for a few years due to studying and working. And I am older. If anything I put it down to stress. Years ago my GP said to me don’t drink alcohol not even one drop as it will aggravate your liver.
Thats not why I stopped alcohol but I do remember her words.

people who drink with fibrosis end up with end stage liver failure. most people i know who have died were drinkers. the iv users i know are still alive but some have died from other illnesses not hepc.
i am 3a and stopped drinking in 1990 when i found out. got it in 70’s. took chinese medicine etc and i still got f4 cirrhosis. i think good luck is in your genes. kindly
