Hi 808cruiser,

I know those figures can seem crazy high and worrying but like others my viral load was all over the place before treatment. Anywhere between 1 million and 5+ million and beyond. It doesn’t matter much where it is when you start treatment – the most important thing is that those little critters are undetectable at the end.

Good luck with your treatment.

Thanks for the great post EC2 and congratulations. I like your analogy between preparing for a marathon and taking action to treat HepC so that you become a participant not a spectator. Very inspiring…

Hi Greedfighter. Good to hear. It’s the cure that keeps on giving happiness.

Congratulations kaju!! Enjoy your party

Hi Muddeey with a big warm welcome.

I’ve also been loitering here for nearly three years and I am a testament to the incredible humanity of Dr James and the FixhepC team, the power of this online community and the efficacy of the generic DAA treatments.

I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts and I’m happy that you are now on the path to living a life free of Hep C. I also had a lot of issues with fatigue and brain fog and I can assure you that these things do gradually clear once your body gets rid of the virus.

What wonderful friends you have – they obviously care very much about you. It will be a great day when you can tell them that you beat this.

Looking forward to reading your posts.

Thanks Hazel. An interesting article that is trying to call it as it is and bring buyer’s clubs into the mix as a mainstream option. It really highlights those extraordinary price differences despite some negotiating for lower cost DAAs.

Congratulations Splitdog. It was tough fight but you won. I’m so so happy for you.

Hi Tanya,

I’m sorry that you’ve been struggling. Although it may feel like it you are not going crazy. Your body and the medication are fighting hard to get rid of a virus that you have been carrying for 20 years.

Everyone seems to have different symptoms and reactions to carrying the virus and treating it although there are some common themes. Anxiety, depression, brain fog and lack of energy are not uncommon. When I look back at myself before I started treatment I was a mess of brain fog and depression. Some people sail through treatment with little or no side effects and others experience a variety of physical and emotional reactions. The one thing that is shared is the relief and increased sense of well being in the weeks, months and years after we have been cured.

I’m really hoping that things settle down for you soon. In the meantime please be kind to yourself and try to balance good rest and some exercise as both are important.

We’re with you all the way.
