Hello everyone- I was made aware that I am HCV positive in September 2013. I will start treatment in August of 2014. I will get Interferon,Ribavarin and Solvaldi for 3 months. I have likely been infected since the early 70's. I have bad joint pain and fatigue which rises and falls in severity. Nobody se...
I'm a little disappointed with the news I got today. At 2 weeks my viral load was <15 DETECTED. At 4 weeks it's the same. Since I had such a quick response I was expecting to see UND this time and now I'm starting to get really concerned that there are some that aren't going to die. I have good reason t...
Hey lovely heppers, I just got back from the hospital, some good and not so great news today. The news I hate is now I have 17 million copies of virus, so I jumped a lot (1 - 17) although I know that is not too significant, but I don't like having such a high jump. I am very sensitive to Riba, I went last time from...
I've heard some heartbreaking news on this site that some people relapse after the meds stop, and I was wondering if that's a minority or a rare case that an be worked through, or is that unusual? I'm just wondering how many of those with Genotype Ia on only solvaldi/olysio have still remained UD after 1...
I started Sol rib and inter about 2 weeks ago. Now I've been having spotting when I just got over my period like a week ago and my bowel movements are super light colored. Is that normal? Ha weird ass questions

Hi all,Saw my doc yesterday, and he sent me for a Fibroscan this morning.In August 2008, my score was 30.1 kPa ( F4). Now, at EOT + 12 months, it's 8.8 kPa!!!!!!!!!!!!! On most charts that is F2, but my doc's practice has their own chart, based on thousands of matched readings compared with biopsy findi...

The structural proteins of HCV encodes two distinct envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2, and notably lacks a structural or functional homolog of the prM/M protein found in flaviviruses. However this virus is vary much like flaviviruses like the West Nile Virus,, This makes me wonder ,, Is Sovoldi...
Hi All,Got this email from my trial coordinator this morning. Good news for one who HAD Hep C and has type 2 diabetes. I'll post my lab flow sheet when I get it. Merck is great !! I am SO grateful for having the opportunity to participate in their trial. Reached my goal of SVR before my 80th birthday in...

Still have the fatigue at this point but my gastro tells me it can...
Well Sunday afternoon I got a call from my doctor with the good news that I did clear the virus at 6 weeks. Was at the lowest level of detection at week 4. Really don't know how to feel at this point. Felt very strange, almost as if it is too good to be true. The doctor did tell me that we have to do blood work at 12...

The full prescribing information for the S/L combo is not available until FDA approval, but its clinical use data MAY give some indication of what the prescribing length of tx will look like: an 8 week course for some and a 12 week course for others (including cirrhotics). Also included is a possibl...
Science has not had this kind of upset since the Boson partial. Advances in Hep-c treatment and HIV are due in part to the use of super computers like the famous KARKEN to model a single three dimensional virus core and mapping it. With the HIV virus floating around in a modal on the screen we can see th...
Abstract The structural details of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been elusive because of the lack of a robust tissue culture system for producing an adequate amount of virions from infectious sources for in-depth three-dimensional (3D) structural analysis. Using both negative-stain and cryo-e...
