My thoughts entirely! So I'll continue with the reduced dose. I must say that today I've felt better than I have in decades. I think it's a combination of the meds (of course), a long overdue lie in, my son being on holiday and not having to cook big dinners (he's a big lad) and the rare good weather here in the Uk and I always feel better in the sunshine. It's hard to describe but it's like going back years to my old self, without the black cloud hanging over me and feeling so wiped out and old before my time. Anyway it's a good feeling and I'm so happy that I'm finally feeling the benefits of the medication, thanks to your input about reducing the dose.
I had my 8 week blood test (at 9 weeks) recently, it was just before a bank holiday which slows everything down here in the UK. Today i phoned for the results and my bloods are all fine and my liver function, with my ALT readings down from 31 at 4 weeks to 27 which is great. I still have to wait for the viral load results. I was still RNA detectable at 4 weeks so fingers crossed I'm not now but am still waiting for the result, will let you know when I do.
Feeling very happy in the here and now and can't thank you enough Dr.J.
