    I am so lucky to have found this forum, even though I’m on the Gilead gear.
    I am pretty sure the reason I got onto it was that RPA knew I could go down the generic path and they didn’t want that.
    Dr James you are a hero #love #flower :+1:

    4 week results are in (but not the RNA ones yet)
    Liver functions
    Bilirubin 12 down from 14 pre treatment
    Gamma 25 down from 52
    ALT 19 down from 63
    AST 19 down from 47

    This is looking good. It probably helps that really the liver function results pre treatment were not that bad.

    I had the quantitative RNA etc done on 16 January and 18 March and the viral load dropped from 10,800,000 to 6,710,000 but maybe that is just regular fluctuations

    Hi Enkel,
    Yeah mine always wobbles (my ALT and AST too <img style=illy:' /> )
    No discernible reason, I’ve been told that’s normal an the important thing is the fibroscan reading

    •Does sustained virologic response represent a cure for hepatitis C virus infection?

    I am not a doctor but I do have a brain in my head.
    The speaker said that people with SVR AND fibroscans of F3 and above have a 1% chance annually of developing liver cancer. I wonder what the rate is for people who have F3 or above but didn’t have HCV.
    Makes me wonder whose hymn sheet he’s singing from.

    I really didn’t enjoy being bullshitted to. The good doctor swore blind that any Sx of peginf were insignificant and temporary well isn’t that a big fat porky pie. :angry:

    My GP is an alternative kind of guy (which is good most of the time but not when your low back has crapped out on you, you have serious nerve pain 24*7 and can’t sleep and he won’t give you any decent pain relief for it did he think I was an addict just because I have HCV? But I digress) so when I said I would literally rather die than go on peginf he seemed to think it was quite reasonable (although I’m sure his notes on me would be interesting lol)

    But Ariel… A few days ago I was reading a post by Dr James. It had some stats about sustained response. I’ve just looked for it but couldn’t find it,sorry. Anyway,he says when people go UND they stay that way. I’m sure you know that, but knowing doesn’t take away the fear. You will be fine :+1: #love

    Ah m8 I’m sure many here can feel your pain :(
    SO glad I never went for the interferon tx, even though Dr Simone Strasser pretty much called me an idiot for it – well she can go to the far queue can’t she.
    Scary how toxic and brutal that stuff is.
    Water therapy is the way to go

    At risk of sounding like even more of a wanker than I normally do, may I say that for me the practice of Yoga has been a refuge in times of crisis.
    I don’t mean that getting onto the mat calms me down(although it does), I mean that the practice over several years has somehow shifted the way I view the world.

    On a physical level, my Yoga practice wasn’t enough to keep the Hep C symptoms at bay if I’d practiced more, who knows) but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a contributor to my F0 scan results. Yoga works and rests the organs themselves in a way nothing else can (twists to massage them, inversions to free them from the pull of gravity)

    What I mean is that somehow I’ve become able to see things objectively that I couldn’t before (for example observing the destructive rituals that can plague relationships and just not taking part) and to make it through some very tough times and not go completely nuts (toxic individuals asserting their agendas around the deaths of my loved ones). I think for sure it has helped me deal with having Hep C

    It has so many benefits, and the more you do it the more you realise just how damn good it is for you and how it helps in every aspect of your life.

    Here endeth the rant
