Just got my viral load result, 83.
I am a slow responder like F4, even my fibroscan/fibromax is good with F0/F1.
I am taking B12 and D vitamin from today. Hoping all the best for me and all of you!

VL is going down.The only time its suggested you stop treatment is when you’re VL increases.
What test did they preform exactly I agree its important you know its working.
Hi GAJ,
Unfortunately they tested your viral load only qualitative. But you have good LFT. So logically, you are going in the good direction.
I always had VL with numbers. So I supposed that’s the way it is done.
My 4 weeks viral load only monday!
Wish you UND soon!
Hi Jaz,
We both have a big viral load, 9 mil.
Unhappy your 4 weeks viral load is not the desired UND.
But as Sirchinenge pointed out there is no problem for reaching SVR12!
Thanks Sirchinenge for your well documented post.
I also wait my 4 weeks viral load, this monday.
Wish you UND as soon as possible!
Party time! For each victory against hep C, the ‘silent killer’.
Love Leonard Cohen songs.
Is our world BUT most important is my life!

Hi Debs,
Happy for you, being already on tx!
Welcome in our ducks row.
Good luck!
Hi AA and welcome!
You are very courageous. Two times on IFN means something.
I was so frightened of IFN, so I refused it in 2012.
But the new medicines DAA are amaizing. They are efficient with almost no sides.
Good luck and let us know of your journey!
Hi LG,
Good news! On treatment! Yay!
Fingers crossed for the best blood test ever!
Still waiting 4 weeks viral load. The lab told me the result will come monday!
hmy:
But I have vitamin D and B12 results. The levels are in normal range but low.
So I will take vit D and B12.
Thanks I am fine.
Still waiting 4 weeks viral load.
I also tested vit B12 and vit D and waiting the result . I am considering to take those vitamins if there is a deficiency.
All the best! To each and every one of you!
Gaj wrote:In other words maintaining B12 and D levels, and the other things that support that process, at upper normal range throughout treatment should be beneficial when using DAAs just by not starving our bodies of the required nutrients even though it hasn’t been proved in trial yet.
The above is my understanding in simplified terms as best I can describe so if any scientists/medicos out there spot any basic errors please feel free to correct my admittedly laymans understanding.
Thanks!
Thank you LondonGirl and Dan,
I avoid all supplements, vitamins and other medication because I am afraid of unknown interactions with Twinvir.
I don’t know, maybe is wise after finishing the treatment to consider the all four:
B12 and vit D if there is a deficiency.
Antioxidant] like ALA and statin for ”bad” LDL cholesterol.
Hi LondonGirl,
I know that B12 and vit D supplements were studied for IFN / RIBA.
But where is a deficiency probable is worth taking supplements/vitamins.My question comes from mentioning aid for SVR and RVR.
So, taking B12 & vit D& statin & antioxidant AFTER and/ or DURING treatment with DAAs.
Thanks again!
Thank you Dr. James,
I’ll check for B12. I already know that I have vit D deficit.
My LDL is 149 mg/dL – borderline 130-160 mg/dL
I’ll check with my doctor for statin.But if I understand correctly, statin & B12 supplement & vit D supplement & antioxidant only end of treatment, after 12 weeks of Twinvir.
Am I right?
Thanks!
