Hi Richstar, welcome to the community.  Glad that you are able to tolerate your treatment on the sovaldi/olysio.   How long does your doc plan on keeping you on the medication? 

I hope that you see some improvement with the vanishing duct syndrome with this treatment.  Sounds like it may have developed due to severe cholestatic HCV.  It's encouraging that the bilirubin has come down. 

I was surprised to read that your biopsies differed so greatly from one month to the next.  You may want to get a second opinion on both original slides to verify the pathology of the readings. 

Good luck, Richstar and please keep us informed on your progress.

Hello to all

i was stage 1 in July Mild in inflammation with fibrosis. Those results came after a biopsy was performed . I had my gall bladder removed at the same time and they also performed an ECRP i believe to look at my biliary ducts. My bilirubin levels were high and i was developing yellow jaundice. After being released from the hos[ital i was improving and they were monitoring my levels hoping to keep me from having to use the triple ****tail treatment but after 6-7 weeks i started to get sick , nauseaus all the time and losing weight fast. i was hospitalized and given all kinds of tests. They were trying to determine what was causing my high bilirubin levels. Finally sent home after a week but after 2 weeks i was back again that time a new biopsy was done and i was at stage 3. Doc started me on peg and riba for four weeks and waiting to start vic. I did not respond to the peg/riba. Riba flaired me up bad i was swollen and bleeding in alot of spots from scratching so much. My count was at 8-9 million at first after 4 weeks on tx i was still at 8mill. On new tx going toward three weeks on tuesday will have results by wed on next visit. The Hepc was causing my biliary ducts to shring, there were no strictures so it was confusing.

 Anyways sorry to write so much just glad to be on a tx and looking foward to my complete healing. Praying everyday and thanking God for keeping me. :o)

Started New Tx on January First

      ( original post)

Hi, 

New to the forum and i wanted to stop in and share. I was diagnosed with Hep C stage 1 back in July of 2013. By late August i was at stage 3. I have been on the  Olysio/Sovaldi tx for 15 days, just had blood work done today after 2weeks and will know next wed. how im doing. First two days i had some nausea and dealt with insomnia for a week but im sleeping better now since i also rest during the day. Will keep all posted once i get results. I was on the peg/riba/vict tx for 7 weeks to which i was non responsive and i also got a severe rash from the ribavarin. My case was difficult as the Hep C was causing me to have vanishing bile ducts.

UPDATE: Well got off the phone with my doc,

Blood work results after 2 weeks on Sovaldi & Olysio treatment, Viral load count at 383 down from  8 million. Bilirubin down to normal from a 14, liver functions normal....ill know more once i see her next week. will keep every one posted. Blood work was done on January 15th. I  complete 4 weeks on tuesday the 28th. Will continue to keep all informed....... Keep On Keeping on..
