Congratulations on achieving SVR12 Rowan.

25 May 2016 at 9:46 am #17732Hi Rowan:
Since completing treatment I have noticed that the side effects are abating, I fart less (go figure!) sleep very well and am swimming 3x a week and regaining some muscle mass.
I am 6 weeks past EOT and I hope I am still UND (originally since Jan while on sof/dac). Find out if SVR in July.
Since taking the meds the gym has been my friend to the extent that I appear to have stretched something under the skin (according to the doctor) where I have an abdominal scar, and after asking at the gym what exercises not to do, started something else and now have a very sore wrist.
These meds should come with a warning about not injuring oneself after talking them!
Yours
Jeff
P.S. congrats about the SVR.

Well worth waiting for … the main thing is that we all make it across the finish line, it doesn’t matter how we get there … some sprint, some jog, and others walk …
Encourage your partner to stay positive, to be patient, and remind her that she may merely be running her race at a slower pace …
Swimming 3 times a week will definitely help your body heal itself … and broaden your shoulders
Best Wishes

Ty for blogging your update
Yes it seems that we all respond at different times to these new meds I hope your partner gets UND soon too
Happies to you both from Ariel26 May 2016 at 3:30 am #17788Hi Rowan, awesome reading of your svr12 this morning. Yes, I did experience some ups and some downs also. As you say everyone seems to have a different experience on Tx due to different complexities of body and mind. Support from the forum was paramount for me as I continued on my way.
best wishes to you both.
