Genotype 3a

Started Ribavirin/Sovaldi 2 weeks ago. No sides effects. To start Alt 60 Ast 36 viral 133529.. After week one Alt went from 60-31 ASt from 36-21. They said the viral will be measures at the 4 week test???  Found out about Hepc in 95 never tried treatment until now.. Did Vitamin c infusion, Milk thistle religiously and Max Green for the fatty liver and my functions were steady through the years and fatty liver improved on the ultra sounds I took every 8 months.. Will see how results come out tomorrow for week 2.. Anyone else with Gt 3 would like to see your #s ..

LOVE your attitude!!! : -).     Of course I feel the same way.

EOT = End of Tx- your Dr probably waits a week after tx to do that.  My dr has his own pattern too.

Keep on keep ing on, waiting to hear you Labs 1wk and 12 weeks!!    Pat

Glad to hear things are going well for you.. EOT ? not sure. I thought i was doing lab at 1 week after and then 12 weeks , but will let you know. No stress got thru the tx feeling stronger without riba each day.. If the Dragon is dead that would be fantastic and if the little bastxxxd is still kicking we will figure out another way...Keep fighting...

Congratulations on completion of treatment!!  I expect to hear that your EOT Labs come back UND also.  This is the next stairstep up the staircase to SVR, so excited for you!  

I just finished my Dr Visit.  Week 13 Labs were still UND, and Hmg CAME UP  from 9 to 9.7 so we (Dr and i) are very pleased, no need to lower Riba, no need for Procrit.  Also AST 15 and ALT is 7 - both low norm.    Feeling a little stronger, so able to walk a little more, my usual exercise, still using the walker except for short walks w/someone there.

Hang in there and keep us posted on your Labs!  Will Dr schedule for EOT, 4, 8 and 12 weeks for Labs ( incl Viral Loads?)

Hope you are pampering yourself for a treat after meds and keeping your mind occupied so you don't sit around stressing til SVR.     : -).   Pat
