Hi Wair,
firstly, welcome to the forum
.
And congratulations for having taken the very good decision to get treated.
As you already experienced, the side effects are minimal, so do not worry about the slight insomnia. (if allowed a small joke: you have more time to read a good book, see a nice movie )
You will see that 12 weeks will pass very fast (and if it will be the case for another 12, it will pass also fast).wair wrote:Hi guys,
greetings from Estonia.

I think the hardest part now is trying to keep my excitement to myself. For many reasons there are very very few people who know about my disease at all, so therefore the treatment has to be similar secret, at least for now.So thank you to all the people in this forum – even if you are not aware, then there are those silent “lurkers” here who take courage when reading about your paths!
Without you I would not be where I am now.Here you will find the proper place to share as much happiness you wish
Have a nice journey till the finish line (SVR12) !
Cheers,
RHF
Dear Wair,
You have made a very good decision and so lovely to read about you feeling better both mentally and physically
You had a large VL to kill and when inflammation is reduced we realise what we have been living with for such a long time ! Delighted for you.
Be sure to test at around 8 weeks, just in case you need to extend a little (I did and am now clear of the virus, SVR 12), you may not need to, but it’s always good to have plan A, B and C, which is the great thing about this ‘alternative’ route, which in my opinion is superior.
I wish you the best of luck and good health from UK.

Welcome Wair,
Congratulations on making the decision to treat and I’m glad that you’ve found that like many of us your side effects are minimal.
Your LFTs look good and they will improve further as your treatment progresses. I’m sure Dr Freeman will have discussed the indicators for extending treatment with you, including that once your viral load becomes undetected there is little value in continuing to test that during treatment. It is good to hear that you now appear to have the support of your own doctor should you need more testing.
Please feel free to share your excitement here like many of us do and best wishes for successful SVR.

Hello Wair in Estonia (what an international community we are).
I also kept my head in the sand for quite some time but I’m so grateful that we decided to poke our heads up and have a look around.
My treatment also started with an appointment with Dr Freeman and yes I do understand the excitement of getting those little bottles of tablets. It is such a personal thing in terms of who we tell and if we tell about our Hep C. I think we should continue to control that in the same way that we’ve taken control of our treatment.
So great to hear that your energy has returned – you need it with two young girls. Whether it takes 12 weeks or a little longer you have a HepC free life to look forward to. Be good to yourself.
