Wow, thanks everyone for such wonderful words of encouragement and support! I'm really blown away by your replies Hey I'm with you Enkel - no idea how I lasted this long with the stats I have either...sheer luck of the draw I guess! Particularly years of high stress due to PTSD and other issues which you would think might knock your immune system for six. I never touched alcohol until about 2009 but I'm sure others have also been abstinent and not as lucky...I just count my blessings on that score. But yeah I'm definitely ready to lay waste to this rotten virus, before it gets a chance to build any head of steam up in the future. Can feel "something" going on in my liver (those movements/twitches I've had before) so obviously things are kicking in. Thanks GAJ re the bilirubin, the reference range (at least according to Hanly Moir heh) is 3-15 so its well in there. Looking forward to seeing those numbers fall in the coming weeks too! I'm heartened by all your responses guys, and awesome videos cheers 2b and Paul - much appreciated Edit: Just amended my original post to show the most recent fibroscan score - always been around 3-3.5 GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 The following user(s) said Thank You: Ariel | |

Hey thanks LG Really appreciate it! Definitely fingers crossed; all I've experienced today is a bit of liver pain and sleepy at times - but not the kind of sleepy as in the fatigue we are used to. Probably my system is just getting a workout atm lol It will be great to hear how you go on the trial too, awesome that the ball is rolling for you finally (and may this be the turning point for you guys in the UK getting proper access to assistance) GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 The following user(s) said Thank You: LondonGirl | |

Don't think the twitching is any more than usual enkel, but a bit more of the stinging pain I think. From what I've read here its all par for the course.

Yes Paul, things are definitely happening - clearly a lot going on in there heh. Getting a bit more liver pain/pressure (as you've said in your posts this seems common to many) and a generalised 'buzzing' sensation in my legs, bit of stomach pain too (but then I had that pre-tx so can't put it down to the meds). Minimal if any headaches as yet (could be due to massive fluid intake lol) but I'm pretty sure my head feels clearer already - which is pretty impressive for only the 3rd day. Definitely a battle raging I reckon!

| Yep there is a Battle going on and your body is the battlefield , it's weird but without the symptoms I wouldn't have thought anything was happening.

Will do LG! Overall there is really very little to speak of yet - just waiting for it to build up in my bloodstream for a better picture. And us both being lightweights, we will get a larger dosage...like I said on another thread, extra "insurance" heh Ha, you are spot-on there Paul! If we weren't looking for minutiae then you'd probably not notice much.
