Undetectable week 5 post treatment despite feeling crap 7 years 11 months ago #15708
Got test result yesterday. Despite having a week of feeling just like having the illness - headaches, fatigue, mild nausea for days, that endless hangover feeling - the viral load test came back "Undetectable" I hope this can give some encouragement to others who feel like crap after treatment. The really scary thing for me was that from a few days after finishing treatment to a month later I felt good - really more energy, even went to a gym. Then 4-5 days of crap. Just as I imagined a relapse would feel. But it wasn't. It just seems my poor body is taking its time recovering from decades of virus and treatments, and that this recovery goes up and down, rather than in a straight line... So in a nutshell, no matter how you feel after treatment, there is hope, and you're probably doing just fine! | |

I've moved it to SVR. It's important to remember that just because you don't have Hep C you can still get all the variations of flu etc. As always, if the symptoms persist, see a doctor. YMMV | |

Thanks Lynne & thanks Dr Freeman. I actually came down with a cold on Friday. Perhaps the liverish feelings I had were the beginnings of that. In between the 5 days of complete crap and getting the cold on Friday was about a week of feeling run down with insomnia (though I think the insomnia was largely worry). I slept well last night The following user(s) said Thank You: Lynne-Francis-facebook | |

Feels really good to have joined the SVR section if only in a small way as yet | |

Thanks Gaj & Fretboard Actually my third UND. Was UND at weeks 4 and 8 during treatment. This is my first UND post-treatment. I took generic drugs from Mesochem through FixHepC. 12 weeks Sof/Dac, and the proof seems to be there so far that it's good stuff | |

| Hi again Phoenix I had insomnia all the way through my treatment but I really did get used to it after a while because my energy levels were so much better throughout the day.....all back to normal now!! Went to sleep okay but around 4am - 5am, boing eyes wide open!

Thanks CC2B. Hang in there Tweakmax! I have SO discovered that liverish does not necessarily equal virus. The crap feeling will almost certainly pass. Lynne I really relate to a strange new energy/insomnia thing. It feels sometimes like I might just need less sleep now, like my biorhythms are being reset in a good way, but it still takes a bit of getting used to. Though when I feel crap it feels like the same old crap! I think I'm getting easier with the idea that the road to recovery will still have twists and turns. | |

Thankyou Phoenix for being honest and posting this. I had a little smile at your turn of phase for the title as that would be my sentiments exactly! ( apart from the UND as haven't had the test yet.) I find your post quite reassuring. I am going for a liver function test next week as I asked my gp for one and won't get a VL test until 12 weeks post EOT, as per NHS standard. Cheers, and really glad you remain undetected. Congratulations! Geno 1a, F1, tx naive, had it 35 yrs. Started Cipla HepcvirL on 12/01/16 Starting VL 490,000 At 16 days in <15 4 week results: UND 8 week results: UND 5 weeks EOT alt 25 SVR 15 - Not Detected 6 months EOT - Not Detected | |
