After reading many peoples reports of people freely noticeably better after just 1 weeks treatment I thought there is a lot of placebo effect & wishful thinking going on. But after just 7 days my liver is no longer tender or even noticeable, my energy levels are noticeably up & I feel stronger or resilient. My mind is still foggy. But as a sceptic I am living the proof!

LOL I was the same mate, I felt great after 48 hrs and wasn't sure if it confirmation bias or not. My wife thought I was off my chops apart from a painful liver day 10-14 it's been quite easy, even the Riba is ok so far.

cheers

Hello Sharky and Paul.

I am genotype 3a (from 1990 and it is active) and started sof/dac on 27th Oct 15. Both your descriptions seem familiar to me!

Had blood tests done 20 Nov - a bit early but the place where I was going to have a fibroscan kindly offered to do these for me. Results phoned through to me today VL =19 and other tests okay, although low platelets. AFP which i was worried about was normal.

Did get the usual proviso's and warning about embarking on generics/treatment/monitoring etc., and I always take this on board and in fact appreciate that people will state this to me.

I still note from what I have been shown and read that people like me with liver scarring on the way to cirrhosis can do no better then to be rid of Hep C. Who knows what the future holds, but gee it's been worth it if only to feel normal again for a few weeks.

Yours
