    This is so great having this EASL Barcelona 2016 Conference .
    I’ve lived in secret with HCV for 45 years, in fear of being judged.
    These new DAA’s have given me a chance to get my life back.
    Can we every thank James & Greg enough for all their work they’ve done.

    Thanks Gaj,
    Let’s hope so.
    I’m planing an overseas trip to China in about 5 mths & there will be some mountain track walking, biking etc..
    So I’m getting a bit nervous, if my body will bounce back in time.

    Thanks London Girl,
    I’ve passed these comments onto her.

    I hope the Sof & Dac are giving you good results.
    Have you done another VL ?

    Hi London Girl,
    I’ve done this post for a friend that is facing this decision.
    She has already done 21 weeks of Sof, Led & Riba & has another 12 weeks of Sof & Led but as her LFT’s are going up, she is very concerned that the virus needs another DAA to be sure.
    Yes, she has done 4 failed 12 month treatments.
    So she feels that these new DAA’s are her last chance.

    Thanks guys for all your encouragement .
    I’ve been struggling for about 3 weeks prior to EOT with muscle & joint pain.
    I’m glad to say that 5 days post treatment the pain is easing

    Hello DAA brains trust

    The 2016 flu vaccines have just arrived in town, can anyone tell me if it is advisable to have a shot whilst on treatment – I’m week 10 of 12.
    many thanks :)

    Hi mags, I myself decided not to do the flu Vac while I’m on treatment. I’ve just finished my 24 week treatment & my body has been battered. So I’m crossing my fingers & not doing the flu Vac as I had a bad reaction last one a had.
    Also Mags, hang in there with the RIBA , I found it very hard to cope with. The anaemia you have to watch but I just got through on 1200mg. The mood change thing “RIBA MONSTER” is very real side effect & I just locked myself away from the world when RIBA got out of the box.
    Good luck & the end is in sight.

    Hi Tommy,
    I’m 67 years old & today I just finished 168 days of Sofosbuvir / Ledisbovir , plus 84 days Ribavirin.
    I struggled with the Ribavirin side effects but just managed to stay on the full dose of 1200mg.
    The last 4 weeks of treatment I suffered a lot of joint & muscle pain.
    Also feeling fatigued most days.
    Now it’s a wait for SVR 4 & SVR 12 & SVR 24

    Too late for me,
    I’ve already done my first 12 weeks with Ribavirin , Sofosbuvir & Ledisbovir .
    Then I’ve continued with just the Sofosbuvir & Ledisbovir .
    Must admit that the RIBA has some very bad side effects.
    At 4 weeks PCR <12 detected
    At 12 weeks PCR undetected .
    1 week left for my 24 week PCR .

    Hi GF,
    Just been reading your story.
    Have you had any previous treatment in years gone by ?
    It looks like Australia is a lucky country.
    As you know the Tasmanian connection, GP2U, FIXHEPC BUYERS CLUB & Greg Gefferys .
    But now the government has put these hepC meds on the PBS which means that you pay just $6.20 or $36 depending if you’re on a pension or working per 28 tab bottle.
    Like you, I’m G1a, but my Fibrosis is 3-4 bridging Cirrhosis .
    Back in 2003 I was treated with Peg Interferon & Ribavirin for 12 months.
    End of treatment I was undetected but relapsed 3 months later.
    So I started on Sofosbuvir, Ledisbovir (China) & Ribavirin (India) 22nd October.
    At week 4 my LFT’s all dropped to the normal range & my PCR was <12 Detected.
    At week 12 my LFT's stayed in the normal range & my PCR was Neg Undetected.
    So on the 6th April will be the 24 week treatment finished. Yippee.
    I wish you all the very best in gaining SVR 12 & 24.

    Hi London Girl,
    I stated the first 12 weeks of HARVONI with Ribavirin 1200mg.
    The second 12 weeks was only HARVONI.
    I was advised by Dr James Freeman that the Ribavirin could give me extra couple percent chance of clearing the virus.
