    Despite the fibroscan indicating liver damage, your liver appears to be working ok going off the starting LFTs. Good luck with the tx.

    I doubt it, (my doctor too), the veracity of the results FibroScan. Biopsy of a year ago, gave the result F1. Blood tests we have not changed much in a year, so that no one is clear that last FibroScan result. I plan to repeat FibroScan to determine the duration of therapy.

    Good luck with your treatment. Yes very odd to see that much advance in fibrosis. If I was you I would definitely back it up with another test. It can be very different if test was done by a different machine , also the person reading the machine can come up with a different result. Test again.

    Dont worry about these fibroscans mine in 6 months jumped from 14.8 to 26 to 32 kpa. I dont think they are accurate but close to the real stuff. Glad you started treatment. I am sure you will pass with flying colors :)

    I also have Twinvir. From what I have read Twinvir is great for Gen 1, exact copy of Harvoni. Good luck!

    The second day of therapy:
    Side effects are almost inexistent.
    Mild fatigue that I had before taking the drug.
    Mild fog of peripheral vision in the first few hours after taking the drug.
    Hopefully it will be in the future .
    And yes, I scheduled a new FibroScan, this time in Sofia, Bulgaria. I’m going tomorrow to review ….

    New fibroscan is done. Now results are:
    10.2kPa siccess rate 100%
    IQR 0.3 (I don’t know what is IQR)
    IQR/med 3%
    Doctor of Tokuda Hospital Sofia said that this fibrosis 3-4
    He advised me to do a blood test and see which ones is my subtype (1a or 1b).
    He said that it is wise to take( with TWINVIR) Ribavirin in the event that the 1a.
    Does anyone have a comment …

    if you are F3-4 you shoulg go for 24 weeks Twinvir for higher chance of cure. Or go 12 weeks + ribavirin. To my opinion is better 24 weeks twinvir (less side effects) than 12 weeks twinvir + ribavirin

    The fourth day of therapy:
    Greater fatigue in the afternoon (it happened before, without TWINVIR, in fact nothing new is happening)
    Slight fog of peripheral vision in the first few hours after taking the drug decreases.
    No big deal, for now …
