I went through the same thing Donna with my sons so I know exactly how you feel. It’s such a relief. Really happy for you and your family.
Yay for Bob!! That’s news worthy of a celebration.
Undetectable at 5 weeks is fantastic Claudel. Hope you enjoyed that last little magic pill. Roll on SVR 24. Well done you.
Hi Rikke,
Welcome and thanks for posting your story as well as an overview of the HepC treatment situation in Denmark. This is the type of information that really can help others. Well done for taking control and working through all of those hurdles.
Intermittent tiredness seems to be one of the side effects for some once treatment starts but you really will feel the difference once the medication starts to work its’ magic.
Fantastic news RSF. It is indeed a Happy Day – enjoy!
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.

Hi Tatty and welcome,
Thanks for sharing your story. You really had some difficult news to deal with in a short space of time. What a great friend you have to be so insistent that you get yourself checked.
Well done for taking control of this and getting yourself on treatment so quickly. It is so encouraging to hear about the support you are getting from your specialist and GP as it hasn’t always been the case.
I can see that you’ve been on treatment for just over a month so your next blood results should confirm that the medication is doing it’s job and doing it really well.
I’ve found so much support on this site and I know you will too.
Looking forward to hearing about those results.
Hi LG – yes it is good to see Redemption Trial written on your results.
I’m coming up to 8 weeks on the new treatment. I’ve had a bit going on so I have been trying to concentrate on keeping as healthy as possible. I’ve had a few side effects such as dry skin, dry hair and some headaches (especially if I don’t drink enough water) but I know that some people experience worse than this with Ribaviran. Very early results looked promising but I’ll know more when I have another blood test which should be very soon.
Great to hear you sounding so happy and positive LG.
That’s a YAY! from me too Willeert. Enjoy your HepC freeness.
Fabulous LG! There’s never enough ways to hear and read such good news.
Thanks for the article. With the focus on the actual virus the associated brain fog, fatigue and depression are not always given a lot of consideration despite the fact that they are very real and can have an enormous impact on all aspects of life, work and relationships.
The brain fog is one of the hardest things to explain to others. Just before my treatment I was describing it like operating with a brain full of pea soup.
Hi Murr,
I don’t have high blood pressure so I can’t share that experience with you but I did want to thank you for posting your story as there is very likely someone who has the same concerns and they will feel a little bit less anxious.
Congratulation on finishing your treatment and everything crossed for your SVR12
