Great ,inspiring news from you.Congratulation on your success and great health!!Naya
Your story is a gift to those on the forum currently in tx, or who are contemplating tx. So many people are afraid to treat, especially if they don't have a strong support system. You are a testament that, yes, you can treat, and come out the other side so much stronger and better. Fantastic job!
What a great story and as others have said it does indeed give those of us at the beginning motivation and courage to continue on.
Even at the beginning I have dreams of being on here 40 weeks from now with my story LoL
All the best to you!
Such an inspiration to all of us who are pre and currently treating! Sometimes I am ready to bang my head against the wall and then i read these stories. Congrats!!!!!!

Thanks for the information.
I never got to know you well back in 2011 although I did start about 2 months after you did. Even though you had not posted for a while, I always remembered you because of your VL. When I first joined the forum I thought my VL was high at 14,400,000 and I was worried I would never clear the virus, but then you posted that your VL was over 69,000,000 and I no longer felt mine was that high. Even that gave me hope. I was so new then and I knew very little about Hep C and treatment. Well, all I can say is, this is fantastic. I hope everyone on the forum reads about your success.
and congratulations on SVR !
I am so overwhelmed by the responses!!! I'm so glad that my story can give others' hope!!! This is such a rough treatment but honestly, it's been a little over 8 months since I was done, and I barely remember how tough it was... I just remembered that it was tough... I'm so grateful memories work like that lol!!!
I was UND on my blood test after that... I don't remember how many weeks that is... I'm thinking 8 wks??? I did have to reduce Riba to 800 and stayed at that dosage throughout the rest of my treatment. I was so worried about it, but it turned out fine!! :)
I remember you were still DET at week 4. I also remember you had a big drop in VL, but were still DET at week 4. When did you become UND?
I also remember you had to reduce Riba due to anemia. Did you stay reduced throughout all of the rest of your treatment?
Wow! It is just great that you went from such a high VL and attained SVR. That should give everyone on treatment hope.
Congratulations on attaining SVR! Your story is a wonderful story with a very positive ending. I am so happy for you and I am also glad that you shared your story with us. Have a great Hep C free life. : )
Loved this, thanks for sharing. Stories like this keeps us going. SVR no more HepC, Wow!
great story and every success story helps those that are just starting and also those who struggle and just everyone in the middle of treatment i could not have entered into treatment without everyone here to help with info and success stories
Congrats on you new start /SVR
This is encouraging. Congrats on treating and getting on with your life :) :) I hope you don't mind me asking (since I just finished treatment myself) but I was wondering if you treated 24 or 48 weeks.
Thanks for sharing that! VL higher than measurable....WOW! Congrats!
Thanks for sharing. Its great to hear positive news and gives us still on tx motivation to carry on.
