Really sorry to hear your news Paul. I reckon reducing high GI carbs and sugar is the way to go next time as others are saying. Wish I'd heard that advice before I started as I reckon high glucose levels are responsible for my slow response to Sof/Dac (I'm pre diabetic). I've relapsed so many times I'm finding it hard to stay positive about curing this time.

I know GT3 can be a bugger to cure but I reckon you'll do it next time. Just wondering why you are doing Sof/Dac again rather than waiting for some of the pan genotype drugs in the pipeline.

Anyway, big big hugs.

Hi Paul - I've been relocating for the past few weeks so am slowly catching up with the news. So sorry to hear yours but liking your attitude - it is what it is so lets get on with it.

Thanks all for the reminder about the carbs and glucose. I've taken less notice of this while I've been moving and things have crept back into my diet that probably aren't helping the fight.

G1a probably early 1980's, Biopsy F1(2010), F2-F3(2015). VL 5+mill; 2+mill (2014) Tx naive. Accessed Sof/Led through Dr Freeman at GP2U and Buyers Club (lifesavers!!!)
Commenced tx 12/11/15. 9 wk: VL <15 Detected but LFT = Normal 12 week results: UND (Yay!) Due to slow response commenced Sof/Dac 4 Feb for 12 weeks. EOT @ 24 weeks 27 April 2016. (With thanks to Dr Freeman et al). SVR11 result: VL 1,950,000. It's back!
New tx 030916 (Viekira Pak, Solvadi, Ribavirin UND @ 111116. EOT 170217.
SVR12 and SVR 24...

Bet it'd make a difference. Good luck my friend. Remember I'm always a phone call away for you x

Paul, do you take R lipoic acid? I was taking it but stopped once I started treatment. I found it lowered my glucose levels (proven by blood tests) and I'm convinced it lowered my viral load as well. Might be an idea to take it in the months before starting treatment again to get the vl as low as possible. Do you know if it's OK to take while on treatment? I miss its glucose lowering effects.

Hi Skank,

I've removed your other post from public view and forwarded it to Archer as a Private Message. You can also send PMs on this site by clicking on the little blue speech bubble at the bottom of the side panel with their user name and other details to the left of a member's post. You can read PMs sent to you by clicking on your own name to go to your profile where you will find the link in a similar spot. Or via the link just under "Glossary" in the row of tabs at the top right of each page. (If that isn't showing click on the little blue tab to the right of the "Glossary" one.) Hope that helps.

I used to be quite active on several forums in the past, but my cognitive powers ain't what they used to be. Sure I''ll get the hang of it again eventually, and hope to participate a bit more around here when I do.
