NEW HERE: Completed Sovaldi, Ribivirn and PegInt

And unfortunately, my enzymes were still elevated four weeks after treatment. So I am in the small percentage of people who do not have success with this very expensive drug. I heard there were some new drugs coming out in the Fall. Anyone know about them? While I am not showing any signs of liver failure, I still would like to treat/cure my Hep C. I am an otherwise healthy, active 49 year old male. I don't drink but I smoke a little grass sometimes (maybe three times a week). I don't do any other drugs.

While on the treatment, I had only mild to moderate side effects from the Ribivirn pills. The Sovaldi had no side effects hat I noticed and even the injections of Peginterferon gave me little to no side effects. The Ribivirin made me dizzy and feel like I was high.

I'm new here and just starting to read about everyone's experiences. I find this helpful. I'm not sure about anyone else but I have private insurance through my job and am beginning to get a little nervous about being denied coverage for any future treatments. My Doctors office had to fight to get them to approve the Solvaldi treatment. Seems I'm not sure what to worry about more, the disease or the insurance company.

Look forward to contributing more to this forum.

Thanks Barry. I'll take that advice.

Rex, I hate you had the relapse. That's terrible news. However, the new combos will do the job. I'm sure your insurance will cover you. That is a huge political hot potato.
If you don't mind me asking, was the HCV undetectable at any time during treatment?
Could you give us other vitals? Age, how long you've had the virus, and any other factors such as HIV, HBV, diabetes, etc.
Finally, did you miss any doses?
Good luck, brother.
