24 weeks...still 'undetectable'

Just got back my 24 week PCR...same as 12 week....no bugs found!
YEAH! My liver labs have been high since the start of treatment, and never were above normal range before...go figure.
Also HMG is down to 11.6...I started off with a 16. Soooo...I celebrated with dinner at Outback and my 25th shot when I got home tonight. Life is good to ya now and then after all.

Whops! forgot to answer all your questions! May I add "brain fog" to my list of sx?
I have, or I'm hoping "had", genotype 1B. I try to avoid junk food. I avoid alcohol. I would not say that I eat really healthy, I just try to not make a pig out of myself....reasonable portions of food.
I drink LOTS of water. That's about it I guess.

I'm would probably be considered by most as on the in much better physical shape than my peers, but not due to any "health nut" traits. More likely due to genetics and 30 years in high-rise and heavy commercial construction. I don't take any vitamins or supplements. My "working out" would lately be limited to climbing scaffolds and lifting heavy objects. With tx I just do not have much left for my bike, hiking, and other diversions I enjoyed pre-tx.
As too having no sx's...as I stated I'm taking Zoloft for depression, I've lost about half my hair, and I'm sick every weekend. Other than that I guess I'm hangin in there. How bout you rocker?

Does anyone have any thoughts are knowlege of if a person is und. at 12 weeks are the odds in their favor to stay und. through out tx? and if so do those odds drop when you go off tx?

Taking 75mg Zoloft a day. I started feeling like it was hopeless about 8 weeks into tx (obvious depression). Started then with Zoloft 50mg and upped it last month to 75. It helps me alot. I'm generally, while not taking these drugs ofcourse, a happy and optimistic person. I'm sure I'll want to wean off the Zoloft after tx.
