Hi Live
Thanks!
Really I have never felt bad before, during, or post with these new treatments except I was taking Ribavirin for 15 weeks this last time and became anemic. I rebounded immediately back to normal after I stopped the Riba. Within 10 days post stopping the Ribavirin my HGB was almost to pre riba levels and in normal range.
Last year on Sov Oly I only did a 12 week post test and was found to have relapsed back to basically pre treatment levels. I felt the same as I always do and had no indication I had relapsed until I got my test result.
I was 2.0 million VL before tx and 2.4 million post which is statistically insignificant from what I hear.
As we know viral load flucuates over time and that hep c is very good at reproducing itself which is obvious from my results.
The only hep c symptom I have noticed is being tired and I am 57 years old. So is it hep c cirrhosis or being 57? I have cirrhosis sypmtoms but mostly seen on testing like upper endoscopy (varicies) or platelet level test (CBC)
My cirrhosis symptoms that I can see are thousands of red dots (petechiae) everywhere and some lower leg swelling. I also seem to have lost most of my body hair and the hair on my head is starting to thin as well.
That is one thing I have noticed is that my body hair seems to be trying to come back.
Just in time for shorts weather lol
Best to all and thanks for your kind wishes

Lynn. That's awesome news and I will go out on a limb and say your cured.
I remember the last time you treated and if I'm correct your virus came back with a vengeance and you didn't feel well post Tx.
Harvoni Rocks!
