Arizona, Hi! So happy to hear you are doing well and having few sides. I am counting on you getting SVR, as well! It is wonderful seeing so many obtaining SVR and having a tolerable treatment. Keep us in the loop. You know was care. Big Hugs

Lab came back 11.6 so now I'm back on 1000mg riba for the remainder of treatment. My body doesn't seem to like more then 600mg as not long after I started the 800 I got extreme fatigue and shortness of breath again so I am kind of expecting more of the same. It's ok, the countdown begins. Only 12 days left to the finish line!

Almost done, Arizona. It seems those on the new treatments are having great success. Less than 2 weeks to go. Keep us in the loop on your VL results. Big Hugs

Finished my treatment April 28th. Just got my blood work results. Anemic but v/L UNDETECTED! Yeah! I can hardly wait to have energy like I haven't had in 35 years. Will be totally relieved with the 3 month post test. Didn't have the easiest time but it could have been much worse. To everyone just starting treatment, Don't give up! You can get through it and you will be glad you did. Thanks everyone for your support and encouraging posts. And thanks to God.

Arizona, hoping your start to feel your "normal self" soon.

Mike is a year post Hep C treatment, 4 years post transplant, 4 months post open Heart Surgery, and 5 weeks post incisional hernia surgery (under the liver TP scar) AND AND AND...is finally feeling better than he has in 15 years.

So, our message, be patient with yourself...YOU WILL GET THERE.

He says returning to he normal exercise program has improved his feeling of well being. He just has not felt up to it and now he is walking miles and miles, riding his bike, and (low) weight lifting.

Hoping you grab your life back too.

Hugs,

Hi Arizona.
I am now 1yr after finishing the same treatment as you. I just did my final blood draw and have an ultra sound in Aug. Feel fine no after treatment sides. Good luck you`ll be just fine.

Congrats Arizona- So happy for you and glad that you are now ready to detox from our miraculous, but not completely easy to take medication.
I finished treatment March 30th. Feeling better and better each week and am glad that my nurse practitioner mentioned that it may take 2-3 months to feel totally myself and get the riba out of my system. Without her mentioning that I think I would have been really depressed because I thought I would feel better right away.
Finally, thanks for your posts. They helped me a lot and I felt like I had a kindred spirit, especially when dealing with the headaches and anemia. Enjoy spring and your newfound health. Best, GC

Thanks everyone for your posts. It certainly helped me through treatment. Yes Getcured, I felt like we were going through the treatment together with alot of the same side affects. It would have been a lot tougher to go it alone. The best of luck to everyone.

Hi everyone. Just want to let you know my 3 month post treatment lab just came back as still undetected. One more positive outcome! Everyone starting treatment, just hang in there. There is hope. I had Hep C for over 35 years and never thought I would get cured. I have energy I haven't had in forever. Back to oil painting and thanking God for my good fortune.
