I will continue to pray for your healing.  My husband will be taking the Sovaldi and Ribivarin, he also 1b with stage 4 cirrhosis.  My concerns are that his platelets are in the 70's.  and i work full time should i take some time off from work to be by his side?  also is this the same treatment you are taking?  I know that there is another drug called Olysio.

i am ok but have just diagnosed with ckd 3  ugh..waiting for biopsy report they say it may be the hcv causing the kidney problem,… ugh..glad that my new doctor  found it…i want to know what happened to stage 1 and 2…the old docs dropped the ball on that and i am very mad.

onward to curing this and hope stopping any more kidney damage..

Bloods are good, no Riba, just Sovaldi and olysio

But I have autoimmune disease, primary Bilary cirrhosis and hypothyroid , so I think it maybe  that making it more pronounced, just saw at the top of the thread you first wrote you were tired as a side effect in the beginning so I wondered if that went away after you stopped treatment, I am hoping I will :-)

I ended on Friday, so it is 4 days and I am feeling less tired. Maybe you need to have your blood cell count taken. Are you sure you are not anemic?

Thank you Kim! So happy for you as well. I would love to know if your rheumatoid factor is now normal. Thank you. I hope it is normal for you!
I was told after I forget, 3 or 4 months after treatment ends and your virus is still undetected, you are cured!! I am having my 12 week bloods on May 1st. Amye
