    Hey Michael Henry
    My fibrosis reading was consistently F0 which is a good thing because my VL was quite high. Fingers crossed for your SVR12 but surely you have it nailed.

    Evening, Mike
    I am a fish as well (ocean swimmer whereas Ariel’s preference is surfing) but an older fish and probably got infected before Ariel did. Her stats are stellar!
    I’m feeling pretty relaxed about SVR12. I have a brief holiday planned a few weeks before doing my SVR12 tests – am going to be a fish in Tonga and hopefully swim with my friends the humpback whales

    Hi GP
    I live in Sydney and I’m less than an hour away from the pharmacy in question. Happy to help if needed (but I work full time so it won’t be immediate)

    I can’t understand how anyone with Hep C would not be deeply, deeply offended when someone starts on about cost vs value. What she was saying amounted to blackmail, pure and simple. :angry:

    Is there anything you can add about the treatment that may benefit us people coming soon? Most things I have heard is negotiable things head aches etc…but no real serious side issues unless they were present prior to treatment. So I’m just wondering, any advice for the rookies here? :)

    Hey Sven,
    I am not Fitz but finished treatment 2 weeks ago and the virus is undetectable in my body so I’ll share some perspective if you and Fitz don’t mind.
    At start of treatment my VL was very high – over 6 million. The DAAs just ate those little bastards up.
    I wondered why I had virtually no side effects and asked the doc today. She said it was because the Tx started working straight away, killing the virus.
    Hopefully this will happen for you as well.
    Headaches were minor and fleeting.
    Constipation… ugh! Find what works for you to keep things moving so to speak
    I think you just need to listen to your body, If you are like me you will have more energy very soon after starting Tx. Just stay with the things you normally do and within a few weeks you will find you are doing them better. When that happens I think that might be the time to start pushing your body more. For me it was swimming.
    Just enjoy the ride and know you are giving yourself the best chance to get your life back.
    Good luck, viking brother

    I almost certainly contacted HCV in 1975. Been with my husband since 1982. Our children were born in 1990 and 1993. I was diagnosed in 2004. None of them have HCV.

    I’m loving the good news stories and happy for everyone.
    Just hope that they are not swinging the stats against ME and pushing me into the 4% corner of those that don’t end up with UND
    And all this time I was sure I wouldn’t be stressing out…..
