I know the price of the treatment is a lot. In my country the insurance does not cover the treatment as well. Thank God I have some friends that know some people and got the treatment for free through them. See if there are any foundations or things like that that can help you out. But let me tell you something, I'm 1a aswell and its the hardest to get rid of. So I recommend that since your viral load is so low to get the money and start treatment cause you have a better chance of SVR with a low viral load. Today I got my 3rd shot and feeling good, if you don't have symptoms start treatment it will be easier. Also try and get the flu shot so you don't get the flu while you are in treatment. Well good luck

I started 2 weeks ago, only have 2 shots. Don't be afraid is not that bad for me. I went in really scared and have had no side effects only tiredness and that its. No fever and nothing just drink alottttt of waterrrrrr. The first day of tx drink a bunch of water. Its scarier than it is, well for me, maybe Im a lucky one with almost no side effects. Hope you too, but its not as bad, be positive and go for it. Im 1a with 8 million viral load and had only small symptoms before tx and now had 2 weeks into it and no side effects. So be positive and go for it.

Everybody is different. Some people start out easy and then things get worse, some start out hard and then things get better. Some never have bad side effects, and some are pretty run down by it all. Most people aren't so bad that they have to quit working.

I'm going on my 14th shot this coming Friday and I can say that symptoms are different from day to day... even from hour to hour. I always feel fatigued because my hgb has dropped to 10.4, sometimes my legs ache, sometimes I'm nauseas, sometimes I have head aches, I have brain fog a lot of the time. My hair is starting to fall out, just about 100 extra a day from normal.(no, I don't count the hairs)

I think it is worth it to get rid of this virus and have a chance to feel good again.
