Most people who complain about severe side effects have taking the medication for 6 months versus the standard 3 months of dosing. Especially with the complaint to the eye issues.
Believe me I am not dismissing your concerns. Just watch where you get your information from. I hate seeing people taking advantage of.
You tend to hear only of the handful of people who had severe side effects. The millions who do treatment with very minimal side effects just go back to there daily lives. You’ll always hear from the people who are not feeling well.
I would weigh the risk and rewards of using the medication. If your liver is very damaged as the fibroscore says I would risk it all to get rid of the virus.

Very happy for you.

Thank you show much. A big help.

If i correctly understand, LFTs and PCR are signs, not symptoms. A quote about such things (really, i dont agree with all statements of this relatively old article):

let us consider the difference between signs and symptoms. Signs are typically abnormal blood tests; these are the tests that doctors order to monitor patients. Some signs measure the degree of inflammation (such as enzymes called aminotransferases, known by patients as “ALT” or “AST”). While the ALT or AST test is often called a “liver function test”, it really does not measure any function that the liver performs, but simply assesses the presence of liver cell damage. It is more appropriately denoted as a “liver enzyme test”. The other test (sign) that we need to consider is the one that measures the number of hepatitis C particles that are present in the blood (known as “viral load” or “viral titer”). Traditionally, the success of treatment has been measured by the absence of detectable viral particles in the blood at least six months after the therapy has been stopped. This prolonged clearance of virus from the blood stream is known as a “sustained viral response” or SVR.
Symptoms are the things that affect the quality and quantity of life; it is the development of symptoms that concerns patients. Symptoms of liver failure include internal bleeding from dilated veins (called varices), excessive fluid accumulation in the legs (called edema) and abdomen (called ascites), and slowing down of thinking with confusion and even coma (called hepatic encephalopathy). Another symptomatic complication of cirrhosis is the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.
The point is that if only the enzyme tests remain abnormal, and symptoms of liver failure never occur, there is no clinical “dis-ease”. Treatment is irrelevant because it is impossible to make an asymptomatic patient feel better and, at the time of treatment, patients do not have symptoms of end-stage liver disease.
