    Thanks. Are you taking the oral med? I don’t think the topical poses much problem for the liver, but have been warned that oral medication may. I am going to try a tea tree application to see if that can help before hitting the heavy artillery. I’ll keep you posted and thanks for the response.

    Hi Everyone,

    Well really good news this time. At 12 weeks EOT my liver enzymes are normal and the dragon is undetected. Thank you everyone for the new lease on life. Best wishes for great result from everyone in the thick of the battle.

    Hi Everyone,

    Good news here. I had a liver function test done today and all is in the normal range. It is 4 weeks EOT. While technically, I should have had a viral count done, I am in the US and it is very expensive. So I have decided to wait until 12 weeks EOT to do the full test. Up until I started treatment, my ALT and AST were consistently elevated for 12 years and normalized in week 3 of treatment. Based on my medical history, I am fairly confident that the virus is at bay. I will do a full test in July. Thanks again to everyone for the support and wishing us all success!!

    Hi Emilio,

    What a lovely bunch. Thank you for the message and words of encouragement. Congratulations on successful treatment. I have my 4 week EOT test next week and optimistic about the results. I am really enjoying being virus free and can feel the difference. I ‘m assuming that we all can. All the best to you and let’s keep in touch.

    All the best to you
    Honker

    Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I am wishing the same for all of us. I managed to keep the disease at bay for over 20 years with diet and abstinence. Even so, it was effecting me more that I had realized. So now I am looking forward to a nice glass of sherry with my friends in July.

    I will keep checking in from time to time. Thanks to everyone.

    Hi Everyone,

    Finished bottle 3 of Hepcivir today. Thank you all for the positive messages and support. Going on a long camping trip in the Western US to celebrate, although Tassie is a hard act to follow. I will wait until 12 weeks EOT to test which will be the end of July. Wishing everyone a positive outcome.

    Lots of love,
    Honker

    Hi Everyone,

    I started week 11 today. The last few weeks have been uneventful with respect to the treatment for which I am grateful. I am very aware that the virus is gone. My energy level is good and I have been able to keep up my hiking uphill and yoga routines. I still get tired but not really fatigued like I used to. I thought it was normal but it was the disease. So will be happy to finish the course. I wll wait until 12 weeks EOT to test as I think I will know if I have relapsed. In the unfortunate event of that, I will probably wait a year before retreating as new protocols in the pipeline. Best wishes,to all of us.

    Hi Everyone,

    Another milestone reached, I cracked open the third bottle of Hepcivir today. Feeling good and carrying on with life. I feel very lucky that the tx has gone so smoothly. Fingers crossed for all of us for long term success.

    Hi,

    Tuesday I start week 8 of tx. I’m feeling good, no side effects to speak of. On the positive change side, my digestion is much better and mood is more level. I have a lot more energy and able to keep up active exercise program. Fingers crossed that all of us on tx will stay in the clear. And for those considering tx, just do it.
