I am still UND and Dec will be my 24wk and March will be my 36wk app. Come May of 2014 I am in the clear.

 

I have got full energy back and the only thing I am noticing is I am shedding more hair....I have tons of it so it's not a biggie. I am taking a hair supplement to help out. All in all I am so thankful and happy. Single, Hep C free and ready to tackle the world!

 

I wish everyone the best of luck and I will post back up in March and May of 2014. smile

IOS9~

 

Sept 19th is my next visit. Like my RN says if I don't hear from in in between blood draws...all is good. I am still getting the headaches.....not as bad. But sleep what sleep....I used to be able to sleep 7-8 hrs...I am lucky if I get 5...now mind you I drink a lot of H20 so I get up to pee during the night. But I don't know when the last time was that I slept more then 5hrs......it's making me very miserable. I am going to try melatonin ....my regular doctor suggested it before she gives me ambien. She has prescribed Lunesta and the bad after tase and loss of hair didn't work well with meno. She said the side effects of ambien can be night walking....huh? All I know is I would love to sleep 8 hrs of solid restful sleep.

Hey Do

That is great news about your cirrhotic friend having success with Sofosbuvir .

Sofosbuvir  is going to be a game changer in the world of HCV.

Thanks Do for your interest in my behalf. Will post Hepatologist visit in my trial thread.

Matt

Hi Trish, Matt,

Matt : even thought the virus is back,  the VL must be much lower, so that's a big difference with those people who could not try the trial.

Luv : I stopped nearly same time as you, did not have any headaches during the treatment but have it now, as well as some new bruises on my body every morning, and do not have more than 4/5 hours sleep neither. May be the drugs still in my body are fighting good parts of me  instead of the virus :(

 

When will you have the result of your EOT 8 blood test ?

Cross my fingers for you.

Matt, do not forget to let us know what your doc plans to do. Sofos will be on the US market end of 2013, yes ? hope you will be able to get it soon. My friend, with cirrhosis, is EOT 12 weeks UND with Sophos, great !

Trish

Thanks for asking, will consult with my Hepatologist on Friday to see what is my best course for future treatment. Maybe wait until Sofosbuvir or see what trial / offer Abbvie has for re-treatment. it's all like it was before, have patience and keep has healthy as possible. At least I have learned tons about HCV and all that surrounds it, like you also have Trish.

My time for SVR is still ahead my me if I keep the faith that day will come.

Matt

I have noticed my energy is coming back and I can tolerate the sun wayyyy better. Still getting the headaches and my RN said it's the riba still in me.

 

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey Trish

Yes I know of this feeling, in my case it lasted about two weeks.

It went from that tired feeling to slowly gaining more power and then a almost feeling of weightlessness without full power.

Stay clear of all possible people with colds and sickness as your body/immune system will be in charge now of fighting off if any highly weaken HCV.

Its likely that because your not cirrhotic, you will have entirely wiped out the virus and it has no place to hide.

Hoping the best for you

Matt

Hi Trish,

It's always a bit of a let-down when you finish Rx. Relax and enjoy life. Good news will be coming after your excellent results. Cheers.

I just finished my Abbott trial on 6/26/13(last night I took meds) and was wondering how everyone is feeling off of the meds? My first day off meds I had to go in and turn in all empty med sleeves and bottle of riba and had a blood draw and EKG. But I noticed later that evening how friggen tired I was. I mean like someone drugged me and I couldn't stay upyawn. I was never that way during treatment. Second night I just keep waking up every 3-4 hrs. Is my body going through anything that makes me feel like I have less energy now then I did on treatment?yawn Just wanted to start my second part of my jornal after treatment.

 

Thanks,

Trish
