Thank-you David. I appreciate appreciate your post.
I have read about the Harvoni and know that it seems very tolerable in most patients.
I am a little concerned as I am so tiny - It amazes me that someone my weight would have the same dosage as a large, well-built guy, you know? To give you an idea I can fit in child's clothes age 12-13. I also have had some immune responses and have been quite ill intercepted with better phases, weight-loss & muscle wasting has been an issue and a there are a few other issues that worry me somewhat but I'm going to discuss these with the Hepatologist when I see him. Not that they will necessarily be totally forthcoming I'm sure! I feel monitoring is essential, not so much endless blood tests, but blood pressure, listening to heart etc - basic obvs, want to get this in place.
I find it ludicrous that many of the medical profession seem to say none of our symptoms are connected to the virus, yet they don't really seem to want to investigate them either! there are clearly common symptoms in many sufferers, eg joint pain .
Yes, I know I have to rid myself of this here thing and my body is letting me know that.
I thank each and every one of you for your input and advise.
