Thank-you Tim, Dr Debasis @ MonkMed & Dr Freeman @ Fix HepC6 July 2016 at 9:26 am #20557Welcome Fixhepcnow
First off I love the username you chose. Very appropriate. Speaking for myself the side affects have not been that bad, fatigue and headaches have been the worst of it. I am quite isolated in location and always feel better when in the company of friends, that is probably a given when ill but I never realized how important it was until now. Sharing your good and bad times here is a good start. Wish you all the best with your tx, cheers cheese

Start June 7, 20166 July 2016 at 9:35 am #20559How exciting for you!!!
My side effects were minimal,and the doc said that was an indicator that the meds started working right away.
Within DAYS I had heaps more energy, focus and mental sharpness and my sleep quality was deliciously awesome. No more waking up for no reason.
Within weeks I was swimming faster.
My boss noticed my increased energy and loaded me up with more challenges – thanks buddy.
Wishing the same for you. Except the extra work. Unless that’s what you want of course.

Cured baby11 August 2016 at 12:25 am #22074Hi guys!
So it’s been a month now since I started a treatment, had some ups and downs but received a surprise email from my doctor that my results showed negative results for hep C in just 4 weeks. It all seams a little bit too good to be true and I can’t believe it. I still need to finish rest of the treatment, but at least it’s a good start !!
11 August 2016 at 12:41 am #22075Hi FHN,
This is a great news, congratulations!
The rest of the journey seems much easier now .
In my case, the ups and downs occurred in the first 3 weeks (some headaches, a little bit of insomnia), but afterwards it was quite a smooth journey.So enjoy the rest of the journey and may it be without any sx
Cheers
