Hi Sue,:
Well, We have some things in common both: gt 1a, decades of disease and fatigue and taking the same tx. I am on day 42. I had a dull headache for 3 days. No other side effects. I started noticing an increase in energy about, well, 17 or 18 days into tx. It was a subtle uncrease, but I have been feeling a little better each day and that adds up! I teach 9th grade and that has been a real challenge the past 3 or 4 years. I thought I was going to have to retire early. Not anymore! I come home after a long day of "stamping out ignorance" with some stomps still left in me. I tested F-1 (biopsy) a year ago and my enzymes were ALT: 212, AST: 124. My v/l was 4.9 million.
My 26 day (generic harvoni) labs: ALT: 17, AST: 16, v/l: Und.
So, you have a lot to look forward to. Looking back, I believe many of my problems were caused by stress and worry. They were still problems though-just as real as a broken leg. After living my entire adult life being sick, I am now virus-free and hope to stay that way. My mind is in a much better place and my body can focus on healing instead of fighting.
The same goes for you.
Good Luck and welcome to the best place, well, in the world for people who are making this journey towards "Normal". There are some characters here, so watch out!
What would you expect from the descendants of a bunch of convicts living on an island in both wrong hemispheres??
Personally, my ancestors were hung in Scotland. They were simply too mean to put anywhere but at the end of a rope. I am descended from the smart ones who escaped. That is why I am so smart.
