    Hello everybody! From Juen , 2b geno

    Here is an update on my treatment.
    Started the dac/solvadi meds 9.4.16, -a month ago. Hep c 20 years +

    Hep c quantitation rna 31.3.16 was units iu/ml 1,420,000-Hep c log 10 value, units log 10=6.5
    15.3.16 ast 67, alt was 89

    According to tests this month 9.5.16-
    Pathology Qualitative estimation of HCVL RNA( viral load ) reads -‘Not detected’
    And Ast 25 Alt 17

    So this is a good result I think /I hope!-with 8 weeks to go -finger crossed it , -the hep c , will disappear from my system forever!

    Side effects are minimum ,- compared to what I imagined.

    Insomnia, weakness, are the main, (had fatique , weakness before treament ) , I try and give the meds their best chance , so keep my diet healthy , for me means drinking lots fresh water, plenty of veg, fruit and excercise moderately daily , swimming /’water therapy’ is easiest to cope when tired!

    Again I am so thankful to gp2u and hep c club for being here to help , by giving us great info , alternatives to often expensive and extremely conservative medical systems , -i.e drug treatment /$ choice , and great social support given by the forum folks!

    I will update in a month again !
    Best regards to all

    Hello Juen,

    Yes this is the expected result. The rest of the treatment should kill off the last few stragglers. BMS got 49/52 for SOF+DCV in GT2 so it is a good choice and avoids the ribavirin.

    At the moment we have 100% so please don’t ruin the average! :-)

    YMMV

    Great post Juen … and brilliant results!

    I’m on the same path as you … one day behind … still waiting for VL.

    I too exercise every morning before taking the meds … I find that it sets me up for the day … I feel great afterwards and it ensures that I’m fully hydrated at the start of the day (I wake up with a dry mouth half the time).

    Keep up the good work , and I look forward to seeing your SVR.

    Cheers GT2

    Good to hear. I am sure you’ve got this nailed
    I take my meds just before bed, so they can do their work while I’m lying around not doing anything. In the morning I swim in the ocean or go to a Yoga class
