How long does it take to return to feeling well?
I was diagnosed with hep c in 2005. I worked as a nurse, then nurse practitioner for 35 years, and that was my only risk factor. Genotype 3a. Treatment history:
Interferon/Ribavirin 24 weeks in 2006 - relapse 12 weeks
Increased Interferon/Ribavirin dose for 48 weeks n 2008-9, with Neupogen. - relapse 12 weeks
Sovaldi/Ribavirin 2015 -24 weeks, virus undetectable 12 weeks post treatment.
I took my last dose on May 26, so it's been 5 months. I am feeling better, but still not consistently well. Anyone with my experience who can share their recovery? TIA

I had similar treatment Sovaldi/Riba 2 years ago and have been virus free since then after all previous treatments had failed. I feel perfect now and run everyday to keep fit. You have now cleared this virus and your health will improve gradually. Congrats.

as you know does ribavirin accumulates in the body and stays in the system for up to six months (the company says that), so i would say you should feel better in about 2-3 months. ... wow you are a knight, with that much IFN doses....
