    Don’t know if this makes any sense but maybe below their “high” LLOQ, they would still see a virus but not know how much. And maybe at UND they can’t see any virus at all. Maybe?

    Hey Mike,
    That is strange about the omeprazole being avoided. On the gilead pdf for harvoni they mentioned that you can take 20 mg a or less a day with the meds in fasting condition. I have done just that for about 20 days of tx. I hope i didnt screw up!

    Thanks Gaj and Sirchinenge,
    Just wanted to make sure because all this talk of 1/2 lives of the meds and such is kinda over my head and didn’t know if it needs to be taken in to consideration at EOT…

    Hi there,
    I don’t know how bad your liver damage is, but if you are not F0 than your liver will have to heal as well as it can. I am no expert but anything that is damaged and has to heal isn’t necessarily a pleasant process. Thinking of burns, broken bones, recovering from surgery etc. Maybe time to stop thinking about hep c symptoms and start looking up liver disease symptoms?

    Peoples advice about not pushing things seems really smart. I went out for 1/2 hour jog today, thinking it would clear my head some. Knocked me on my ass for the rest of the day. Sometimes it’s hard to know when being active will help or hinder the sides. I thought I was in the clear, passed through a rough patch and ready to take on the world again. Wrong. It worked for me on sunday and monday but todays run wiped me out. Feeling somewhat better now that I am lying in bed after struggling through my day. Don’t know exactly what this means or how it might help your situation. Just thought I would share…

    I went through the same thing around week 7 after recovering from a cold. Everything was a mess. Lasted about 10-12 days. I still feel a bit achy but waaaaay better. Hopefully it will be similiar for you. Fingers crossed….

    Hey Chejai,
    I had a very similiar experience to you about 6 weeks in. I just felt like crap in countless different ways. It lifted after about 10 days. I still don’t feel great but at least I am functioning again and getting through what needs to get done daily. Hopefully, you will have something similiar happen for you in the next days. I’ve got 2 weeks and 2 days of tx left and i have my fingers crossed for you to get past your slump ASAP,
    Ken

    About the buzziness feeling like too much coffee. I didn’t feel that. Too much coffee makes me feel like s…. The buzzy feeling from the meds was more pleasant than unpleasant for me. It stopped about 6 weeks in when i caught a cold.

    Hey Chejai,
    I live up in the mountains in a little town called San Miguel de Allende. It’s about 6,000 feet above sea level so the temperature here is quite moderate. Being winter I actually had to scrape ice off my windshields last week in the early morning (rare occurrence) but then it climbs up to around 28 degrees in the daytime….
