I just get so impatient and fretful at times.  I see we are the fortunate ones riding a crest of a wave of SVR to come.  It just seems like a dream.   I think I may be overwhelmed and it's shot night for me.   Serenity now.  Yikes.

I am not sure about the question.  If you are referring to members of this forum than I would say there probably aren't very many yet.  If you are referring to the general situation then yes, there are plenty.  The FDA wouldn't have approved the drug for general use without substantial research history with a relatively high n and  75% of those acheiving SVR.

You will find a few that went through the trials that are SVR but the drugs have only been approved for the general public since may so you wont be seeing more SVR's until around may of next year.

in the clinical trials there are a few thousand that have reached SVR with telaprevir and boceprevir.  the triple therapies were only approved by the FDA in May.  the minimum treatment time is six months, and then we wait for six months and check to see if we are still undetected.  the first SVR after approval will come June 2012.
