Steve's Sovaldi + Ribavirin Treatment Log Part 2

WAHOO!! Congrats on undetected!! The dragons are dropping like flies in here!!

Two weeks for me today and no sides except thirsty all the time.

CONGRATS AGAIN!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

 

I've had no problems or known side effects unless some develop down the line. I have had trouble sleeping and when I do it's no more than 4 hours at a stretch if that's even a side effect from the medication.
Men on Testosterone treatments must be careful because the Ribo can cause heart attacks and strokes just like the Testosterone. Put these 2 together it can be a deadly mixture. A daily aspirin, Omega fish oil and cardio is called for, at least in my case.

Hey music!
Thanks for checking in. I really haven't had anything new going on. I've been reading everyone's posts, but didn't feel the need to keep saying I'm feeling fine on my own thread :) I really was expecting it to be a lot different and it easily could have been. I definitely feel very fortunate and grateful that I've had a relatively easy treatment.
Monday is my last day of treatment and I will do all labs again on Tuesday.
At last appointment on the 14th, Dr said I'll test at 12 weeks and then that's it. I was expecting to test again at 24 weeks and when I asked him he said that it's so rare to be undetected at 12 weeks and not 24, that the 24 week thing is on it's way out (as well as the early testing we've all been doing). He said we could still test at 24 weeks if I wanted and I said no, that's ok. But after thinking about it, I think I'll be emailing him soon :)
Basically he said I'm back to my regular general Dr now and I'm done with this unless liver numbers ever look weird in a general test sometime down the road. Seems weird and sudden, but good at the same time...
I'm still around and am just trying to get back into a rhythm. Worked like a week and a half's hours in 3 days a couple weeks ago due to an emergency at work :)
Talk to you soon!

Steve - Happy last day! Before you check out for good please know how much it helped me and many others who needed to know what was going to happen in this process. I'm at day 16 with no sides at all (not even imaginary sides!) ALT and AST down to 12 and 17. So thanks again Steve, Allen, and Music!

Bob C.- Glad our threads have been helpful! When we started everything was a question and my hours of scouring the internet often couldn't give me any real answer :) Hope your lack of sides continues and I will be around still, following yourself and all the other wonderful people here!
themiz- thanks for the kind words :) I definitely will continue with any pertinent info and results!

YES!! This month is an exciting one for our forum. We should have a lot of reports coming in. You are starting off the month for us...perfectly. I enjoyed watching you treat. Really, very happy for you. Go live your life!! Big Hugs

You did nail it! Congrats Steve-ca! I'm a G2 (hopefully "was a G2" will be the way I can express that in 2.5 months) so I've especially enjoyed reading your journal and getting a sense on what may come next. Wish you the best.
