| Hi Enkel, I was diagnosed hcv only a few months ago but was infected probably almost 30 years ago.and have had anxiety problems for all of that time.also some depression.My viral load is 1368000,fairly high and ime f1/f2.

I too probably have Hep c 25 years since i was operated from appendecitis 7 years old. But only 3 years I know I have it. I have a theory that whoever has high viral load and good liver conditions and relatively low ALT, the virus may replicate in nervous tissue... Male, Fibro F1. Geno 1b.

| Interesting, my VL was 2,100000 / 2,500000 Alt 71 / 61 Latest bloods VL gone down to 900000 but Alt has gone up to 114 - highest it's ever been, VL lowest it's ever been. Discomfort under center rib cage. Strange sensations. Yes, vibrations at times, think my mobile phone is on vibrate, but no missed calls. I also get a pulse, center bottom of ribs, like a mild palpitation. So I guess the immune system is fighting the virus and kills some, then the liver struggles from the stress of it? Or something'? Ps not sure how long I have had it, 38 years or 20 years.

When immune system attacks the virus it destroys the liver cells together with the virus. VL down ALT up Male, Fibro F1. Geno 1b. ALT 67 before treatment Viral load 5 million.

| Certainly seems that way. So when they say 'try to boost your immune system' , it is making your liver worse?

I'm with you, guys. 20 years of depression history, sleep problems, buzzing all night and drugging my feet all day. Not anymore tho. Sleep and mood has improved from the day one of the treatment. Tinnitus is still present. Virus not detected from 14.10.2015 | |

The vast improvement in mood after the drugs kick in is the effect that has most taken me by surprise. And the positive outcome I probably appreciate the most. The whole thing reminds me of that movie Cocoon . The IMDb synopsis:

Crushing fatigue, the usual bloated/right side discomfort stuff, joint and muscle pain and tendon injuries that wouldn't repair and had become chronic, brain fog, apathy and depression I thought was related to suffering from PTSD. Plus some symptoms I only now realise I had because now I have something to compare them with. Especially overly frequent urination (accompanied by loin pain) and a digestive tract that I thought was functioning okay but now realise it wasn't.

Hi Enkel I have maybe had the virus for 40 years. I have experienced extreme anxiety, depression, joint pain, also that buzzing, vibratory whole body sensation. I have raised a family, studied for a degree and worked during that time and I always think how my life may have been different without hep c. I feel emotional, mentally and physically exhausted at 60 years. gt 1a VL 6m F2/3 FibroScan - 9KPa in 2011 and 7KPa in 2015 sof/dac 10 December for 12 weeks pre tx alt 85 ast 51 4 wk alt 34 ast 31 UND <35 8 wk alt 29 ast 32 UND <15 12wk alt 25 ast 25 EOT 3.3.16 SVR24 UND KPa5.3 F0 in normal range I am well .forever grateful to fixhepc | |
