I thought your psychedelic liver looked cool actually and I was surprised by how much space the liver took up. Hopefully they can do away with those rotten biopsies like you said.
< 12 was pretty much an UND before so congrats LG :woohoo:

I have been thinking of you, when do you start your new meds? Us ‘old timers’ can keep each other company
Your liver will have had a good rest as the MultiLiverScan shows the new meds seem to reverse liver damage (I was 8.7 in 2014). forward we go to get those pesky stubborn little monsters. I may well be < the 10 needed to multiply, but I'm going to keep blasting them with the medicine as you will too, they will not be expecting that, so keep the faith, we're supporting you mate. Thank-you too Pat - You must have been posting same time as me, I think MultiLiverScan are reaching out internationally, it may be worth emailing them to see if they are running any trials or their new diagnotic is in use elsewhere? They're a great bunch of people & highly respected Drs. These scans can diagnose other liver problems as well and can be a fantastic preventative diagnostic tool too, helping to catch things early and showing good patches of liver so giving Drs more options for treatment and patients more hope.

Thank-you Tim, Dr Debasis @ MonkMed & Dr Freeman @ Fix HepC2 April 2016 at 4:25 am #14766Amazing liver pix, LG!
So much detail……. and I suspect even more for someone who knows what they’re looking at.
To a lay person it certainly looks like it will mean a lot less operator/patient variability compared with current Fibroscan and similar techniques. Much better idea than biopsies too!Fantastic news on your <12 result too. :woohoo: You are probably good to go already but for peace of mind a good zapping with Dac will really make sure that you get rid of any holdouts. :+1: Looking forward to hearing your future good news results. :) #flower

You are so close, I am sure the Dac will get those nasty stragglers

Today I can report that after after the switch-over to Sofo/DAC I immediately feel much better the next morning. Some may say it’s probably an emotional response, but I have had (without going into detail for those having breakfast) a digestive response this morning and feel , well …. much better!! I know It’s early days for this new medicine, but already my intuition tells me that it’s better for me personally, the lovely dt said that it helped ‘digestive issues’ too, interesting.
Gaj, love the word ‘holdouts’ you use for those last few stubborn virus’ Working hard here to banish those little blighters forever .
On top of that, the sun is shining here today

Nope I don’t think its emotional at all. I’m finding the Ledipasvir a constipation station too
Which is stressing me out a bit. Probiotics seem to have zero effect. This is actually probably why people get headaches on the Harvoni too. Headaches and bowels are unfortunate dance partners.
Not sure what to do about all that.
Wish I could get a psychedelic liver picture too

Yeah me too.
Prune juice sets you free. Or back coffee and green apples. Or cabbage. Or lots of water.
Hopefully it’s just a matter of finding what works. Constipation is a pain in the arse illy:' /> illy:' />

And many of them using Dac rather than Led. Seems it comes and goes though so I’m hoping that this too shall pass, and eating Pineapple and Daikon and Bran cereal (and whatever else it takes!)
