    Hi AA, Congrats on starting Tx! I started Spf/Dac too, on Wednesday. I’ve been having a ‘speedy’ sensation and then ‘crashing’, intense sweating, very emotional moodswings – feel happy and joyful/crying and ‘grieving’; had 2 great nights of sleep but the snapping awake suddenly is there, I’m doing so much more during the day that i’ve been utterly trashed at night and feel asleep easily and slept solid for past 2 nights.

    Good Luck and look forward to hearing about how your experiencing your Tx.
    :) #flower

    Hi AA and welcome!
    You are very courageous. Two times on IFN means something. :woohoo:
    I was so frightened of IFN, so I refused it in 2012.
    But the new medicines DAA are amaizing. They are efficient with almost no sides.
    Good luck and let us know of your journey! :lol:

    1 round of DAAs is going to feel like 1 round with a powder puff rather than 2 rounds with Mike Tyson.

    For GT3 it looks like this:

    Sofosbuvir Daclatasvir

    NAIVE
    default: svr: 97%, trials: UN-NAMED IIb (24wk) 89% (16/18) ALLY-3 97% (73/75) AASLD-2015 96% (24/25) Aggregate 97% (97/100)
    w24: svr: 100%, trials: AASLD-2015 100% (29/29)
    F4
    default: svr: 65%, trials: ALLY-3 58% (11/19) AASLD-2015 70% (23/33) Aggregate 65.4% (34/52)
    w24: svr: 90%, trials: AASLD-2015 86% (116/135) overall but Child-Pugh A 90% (90/100)
    riba24: svr: 81%, trials: AASL-2015 81% (39/48)
    FAIL
    default: svr: 86%, trials: ALLY-3 94% (32/34) AASLD-2015 86% (89/103) (bias by F3/F4)
    FAIL+F4
    svr: 64%, trials: ALLY-3 69% (9/13)
    w24: svr: 86%, trials: AASLD-2015 86% (89/103)
    riba24: svr: 80%, trials: AASLD-2015 80% (28/35)


    YMMV

    Now that’s the good oil James these bangin headaches can be rather mood making, yes too true this is nothing like that vile black hole some of us were plunged into and to do it twice AA or like Em to go through 60+ weeks woah <img style=ick:' />
    I made a little movie of my peg/inf trip and I watched it yesterday to remind me of just how much easier this is
    Not Gen3 here but Gen1a
    However that said, the point is only a few watchable, personal manageable sx compared to being in hospital on tube feed etc well you just can’t complain about this magic
    Thanks James and team

    Hey AA I know that feeling
    I’m hanging out to get my bloods done too
    Relapsers we have this little :evil: in one ear I think
    But I have faith in this stuff
    Migraine would describe my head but the initial night sweats have gone
    Day 18 here and I noticed that this week my moods are not as stable as they were at the start
    I’m sure when we get our bloods done that a massive relief will come
    Wishing you a restful weekend

    Hi AA,

    Once you see your 4 week results many of the demons will lose their powers, and then things just improve week to week. While I still have very occasional moments of doubt, at 10 weeks there is more confidence than ever felt during prior Tx. I can just sense my body winning the fight and regaining health, as you will! :cheer:

    24wk Tx – PEG/Riba/Dac 2013 relapsed

    Hi Gaj,

    Thanks for the encouraging words,I’m more interested in the 24 week results rather than the 4 week but if the 4 week are good that’s great and a positive step in the right direction,not getting hopes up too much but staying positive that this 3 rd attempt will work ,I was very disappointed shattered actually when the last 2 attempts didn’t work so just not building hopes too high this time so I’m not mentally shattered if it doesn’t.
    I will win this fight eventually,I’m very stubborn and don’t like to be beaten :) and I WILL NOT let this virus beat me :) If You Don’t Fight You Lose :)
