Easier for me to type.  I was somewhat afraid the Health facility would use good results to limit costs. It wouldn't be the first time. I am making sure they do not do that. They have to pry these pills out of my hands, if they could find them . I spoke to my Dr and we are on the same page. I see him tomorrow for  next labs.

I am good, I know better than to think I could stop.  I want this gone, for good, and this med gives me that goal in total reach.

NO. !!!!!!!! Quite the opposite. My dr is excellent. But with the problems i had getting started fromthe grant people. I could see them trying that argument. I am in process of renewing it now, i am watching them like a hawk. They will try. I want to finish. The complete. Treatment and i will. I just have to watch the suits

Brian,

Am I reading your PS post correctly? I hope you're not considering stopping treatment before the original end date, simply because your viral load came back with an early good report. Are you? Please don't do that! Your body and liver may react quickly to the medication, but the virus is only defeated by an established length of exposure to them. One analogy is putting your clothes in the washing machine with some soap, letting the cycle run half way and then pulling them out. They might look clean, but there's still a lot of dirt left in them... Let the cycle finish Brian! The time you have left to finish treatment shouldn't be your biggest consideration, a healthy "rest of your life" should be. Give it your best shot!

Hi bubbles. I got the results on their crappy online system. And i had a bowel obstruct tion right before and only found the lab results by date filter there was a ton about obstruct. Mixed. In and no page turning. Evidently i had a million doctors for that i never met. Lol and they had a lot to say. I have to go tomorrow. For my grant.,so i will get paper results. I imagine. Some labs soon,so that will help. Dr already acknowledged. The tests so i am comfortable. With what i fo know and happy. I guess. For now i judt take thepill. Congrats. To you too!

Brian, I had that problem reading mine also. It only showed the basic panel etc. If you open the "PDF" file it will show the Viral Load on the second page. Nice to meet another 2 weeker! On to SVR. Good Luck !

Yeah, my dr called this morning as he saw the results. He was also stunned.wanted to know if it was really my blood. Said it come outof my arm into the tube.... told him i have had strong. Faith in this med after i first heard of it and researched it. 7Months ago,  I have been exercising 

Alot of natural sun and fruits and water,but i really think it is mu new addiction for frito corn chips. And just dtsying positive. With the treatment. He expects. I am clear. Shows how important the dr is

,the first dr i had to beg her to type me,and only did. So i would shut up, she bailed appointmens 6. Months in a row so i fired her anf got to this dr through the guy who runs hep c support group.he cried when i called him this morning. Tge people and hosts of in person support groups know the good ones. They sre a great dupport network ig you need help with anything about

Hey Brian,

No apology necessary! I understand "squirrelly" very well. I spent months climbing the same tree and like all of them in my neighborhood, I couldn't find a single nut after I buried them, lol! The anxiety and not knowing affects us all at some point. We're always here to help any way we can.

Hey Brian,

Some of the lab reports only provide limited information, so it's not important at this stage of treatment. The fact that you are <15 iu/ml after two weeks is incredible. You have responded so fast that I have no doubt whatsoever, if you aren't already undetected (which seems probable to me), you would be in a matter of a week or two at most anyway. This stuff is fast and it's rare that anyone fails to go undetected by week 6-8 anyway (if not sooner). You got this buddy!

Hi Brian, let us know when you get the full results, but in the meantime those numbers look great!

You have good reason to be very pleased with your progress so far, at only 2 weeks in.  The huge drop in your viral load and your ALT and AST levels are a sure sign that the treatment is working well. 

Great to hear how well you`re doing and that you`re feeling so much better, thanks for sharing your good news!  smile

 I am not sure. I get the results online  and some of the initial stuff is in there so it is all mixed up. some of it is just this or that,.so  I am going to get the hard copies tomorrow which would be easier to read and detailed .  Don't want a record,  I just pray everyone gets rid of this virus .

I thank you all

Hi Brian,

Wow! Those are excellent numbers. The viral load numbers you posted say the quantification is less than 15 IU/ml, does it say <15 detected or undetected anywhere on the paperwork?  If you're already undetected at two weeks, then you hold the record here for the earliest clearance. That's incredible news! You are well on your way. Congratulations are in order for sure! 

I'm glad you're feeling better and gaining back some weight. If you need some more, I've got a deal for you. All you want for free! Keep it going and be sure to stay in touch. I love hearing this kind of news!
