Almost 4 weeks on Mavyret

Thank you Cheddy ,When I first found out I really was scared and when I heard the price of the meds I really freaked out..Than when I heard from my doctor that my  insurance probably wouldn't cover it because I wasn't bad off enough yet I really freaked but I tell you it was within 2 weeks I got the letter they covered it .$28,000 worth of meds for $10.Wow I felt blessed than I heard of side effects,I got to tell you I hardly realized I was even taking them .The hardest thing was remembering to take at same time every day..At 5 week blood draw I was less than 5 copies.Go back on October.15 th to hear 8 week blood work.It was a breeze .I really didn't feel bad ever through .I had leg pain before I started this treatment but I have been a hairdresser /barber for 42 years so I am suppose to have legs that hurt lol.Mayvret really is a a huge break through.Much better price and side effects ,with me none,and cured in 5 weeks .Still had to take the whole 8 weeks but that was a breeze, And just to think I was so scared when I found out and it was a walk in the park.I kept waiting for the bad stuff from the meds to happen and they never did.The power of medicine is amazing.Thanks again !!!

Congratulations, Rose! More good news. You sure have had a good attitude.  I'm excited about your comeback. It feels great, doesn't i?.

I'm also excited that the new treatments seem to be more and more tolerable, and they're working so well.  It gives me more confidence for all the people who will be traveling this path.  Thanks for the uplift.

Hey Rose,

A little birdie told me tomorrow is your last day of treatment! Congratulations!! 

Are you going in for end of treatment blood work or are they going to make you wait 3 months? I would insist, it just makes for a great morale boost to know you finished with a big shiny ZERO on the report! 

Well done, Warrior! smile

Hi Rose,

You sound very positive and upbeat, I like it! It’s great to hear about the improvements you’ve noticed along your journey and I’m certain they will continue. Your routine sounds far healthier than my own, I think I should follow your lead and get more active. I’ve found myself sinking further and further into my recliner this summer! My bad...  Binge watching TV has become my go to activity. I blame it on the summer heat no  You give me inspiration, so I’ll try harder. 

Keep up the good work and following the excellent hydration schedule you’ve accomplished. Two gallons per day must keep things flowing nicely. Good for you!

Hey BG,

I saw your hello from earlier today over in the sidebar - congrats on speedily getting near the end of your treatment! It won't be long now and you'll be getting some good and relieving news. So, you had your end of treatment (EOT) bloods drawn a little early, they do do that sometimes, especially on these shorter courses they put people on (like you on your 8 weeks of Mav), they sometimes check a little earlier than the actual EOT date. 

But even if you have NO detected virus showing from your early EOT testing, of course they are going to tell you to keep taking every single pill until you have finished them all. And even after you are finished your pills keep drinking lots of water, water is just plain good for us, but with the treatment that you are soon to complete, it is still a good idea to keep drinking well. Good for you and your kidneys to keep flushing your body out.

So, have you still been finding you have this abundance of energy? Did you experience insomnia or anything like that? Or, was it that you just found you had extra energy?

You mentioned leg pain? and you were wondered if this was just you and work related or if it was the hepc, that will be interesting in future to see if this improves for you - I hope so. Perhaps you will notice improvements in areas that you were not even aware of that were lacking in some ways - that's always good too!.

I am glad you did not seem to have too much trouble while being on the treatment, save perhaps for this "energy' thing, maybe that extra energy was a good thing, not a negative smile ... I wasn't sure how you read that symptom. I think your sudden and unexpected diagnosis must have been quite a shock to you, as you mentioned dropping some weight before you got started on your treatment. Perhaps the weight loss even if it might have been in a stress reaction perhaps was overall a good thing? - maybe a few pounds were needed to be lost?, I hope you are not missing the pounds you lost. 

Once you are finished up and rid of this virus, you are free to work on areas of your health, unfettered by this culprit that was in all likelihood going to rob you more and more of your health. 

So glad your virus was discovered so you could get rid of it. Keep us posted. C.

Good morning Dishbrat , thanks for letting me be a part of everyone supporting each other through this .So happy you are done with treatment and so happy at 4 weeks undected.I  been having leg pain a little numbness in one .I started with this before I was diagnosed I don't think it's  from the meds.Maybe from the virus maybe from standing all them years of hairdressing 40 years.I am not sure.Did you have any sure effects while on Mayvret?I make sure to drink a gallon or more of water .I definitely need more exercise though.What effect from meds did you experience?

Hi Rose! Glad to have you along this journey, with the rest of us!

I just finished Mavyret about 4 weeks ago, have 8 weeks to go until my 12 wk draw, but have been undetected since end of week 4. Glad you are doing so well on the treatment, if you'd have any questions, the folks here can most likely help you, if nothing else, you'll always get support, and a smile here :).

Good luck on the last half of your treatment, keep us posted how things are moving along!

Nice BG!

We'll all wait with you, looking forward to seeing those good lab results from your Sept 1 draw.

While we are waiting, have a look at Tig's helpful link for setting up signature lines ... Signature Line Set Up/Abbreviations  smile C.

Hi B.G.,

Welcome here from me too. Glad you found us and this place, and glad you feel you have been learning a lot here. Me too, i have always been glad i found this place, nice folk here and lots of info, it helps. We all learn a lot from each other.

Good you posted your labs and shared your info, it would help if you put some of your (pre-treatment) stats, labs and info into a signature line like the rest of us do, assists greatly in ongoing communications.

Something like this? ... Recently diagnosed GT 2, VL 18,000? ALT 27, AT 24, Low Fscore. Tx Mavyret 8 weeks - SOT Aug ___ to EOT Sept ___, 2018.  

Then,  when you get your new lab results from Sept 1, add them to your sig. line for progress comparisons.

Tig mentioned hep A and B immunity, were those assessed for you before you started your hepc treatment?, and did you happen to get a "fibroSCAN" as well, and did they do an abdominal ultrasound on you?

From the sounds of your posts and your first post, it sound likes you are feeling no ill effect feelings from taking the anti-virals - that is great! It is true that some people do and some people do not feel the drugs/treatment. And same for having the hepc virus itself, in some people the disease seems silent.

Wonderful your virus was discovered so it could be treated and cause you no further harm. biggrin C.

Hi Rose,

Your Fibrosure score of .31 is considered low in the big scheme of things (F1). I’ll include a link to the scoring table used to determine that number. Understand that any score that isn’t considered normal, automatically is considered high. That doesn’t mean it’s dangerous or seriously high. I had 3 biopsies and was considered F3, which is severe fibrosis. You are still relatively low on that scale and should respond well in time and that stage should improve. Some notice fairly quick response to treatment and those scores drop faster than someone like me that has significant scarring. Often, the inflammation causes these numbers to skyrocket and once the virus is destroyed, the F score drops. In genotype 3 patients that is particularly apparent. Everyone is different, yet similar!  Some of us with severe fibrosis and cirrhosis take years, if ever to respond. Once the liver scars in such a fashion, the damage is real and long term in many cases. Your results all look good and the low fibrosis score really is in your favor.

Fibrosure Stage

Hi Rose,

I removed the large screen shots and left the attachments for review. Sometimes the screen shots are such large files, they overtake the viewing area. Such is the case, so we can simply open your attachments to see the results. 

Overall, your results are quite normal, which is fantastic and indicates additional positive aspects regarding the outcome of treatment. It appears to me that you caught this early and any damage is minimal. The F1 fibrosis stage is quite low and as you mentioned, does indicate the complete lack of cirrhosis. F4 is considered cirrhotic. Even then, a compensated cirrhotic >F4, can live without too much intervention. There are additional considerations that cirrhosis presents, but you’re nowhere near that.

Hi there! Welcome to the board of healing!
You should be able to get copies of your bloodworks, call and ask for them.
Will be following your progress :)

The bloodwork we are usually curious about are, the viral load, the liver enzymes (ALT and AST) and genotype. There are plenty of others, but those are always the important ones when starting and finishing. Tests can be done anytime, but typically before, at 4 weeks, the end of treatment and always at 12 weeks after ending treatment, or a combination of.

You mentioned a figure of 18,000. If that is actually your viral load, it’s very low and the reason you were prescribed 8 weeks of treatment. To provide some comparison, my viral load prior to starting treatment, was 5 Million. I took the old standard of care, 5 years ago, which included Interferon, Ribavirin and Victrelis, for 7 months. It was awful and I’m so glad you avoided such treatment drugs. One other bit of positive news is, genotype 2 is very receptive to treatment and I expect you to breeze through it, with glowing success!

Ask your doctor if they have checked your Hepatitis A and B immunity. It’s a good idea to have that checked and receive your immunizations against them. The last thing we need is to be exposed to and contract either form, after carrying Hep C around. They may have already done that, but it’s a good idea to get those vaccinations done.

Hi Rose,

If you’re looking for extra information and discussion on Mavyret, use the search function at the top of the page and enter a keyword or two. We have a good bit of info here that you may find helpful. I’ll be glad to help if you need help tracking down anything.

When you have a moment, can you set up your signature line? You can include any number of things, genotype, pre treatment blood work, etc. There’s a link to directions in mine, if you need it. It helps to know a little history when replying to your posts, without needing to look back. It helps my aging (non existent) memory, too! You can see what some of us have done.

Nice to have 2 sons that are ER Nurses!

Welcome Rose,

Lovely to have you join us. Sounds like your doing great. I finished Epclusa a month ago and have to wait 2 more months to know if it has worked. So many success stories here, we can all feel very positive we will succeed. biggrin

Thank you . The gastroenterologist said I don't have any cirrhosis.Genotype 2 .Going to get rest of blood work and post.I went in to doctor because my sister always goes check on herself and I just never go .I have been married 30 years have 3 sons.Busy raising them I just neglected myself never ever feeling bad .2 of 3 of my boys are emergency room RN's so if I ever did have health questions I would just ask them but I was blindsided when I went into the doctor and said I haven't been to the doctor in a long time so just test me for everything .That was 3 months ago . Everything came back good except liver enzymes .That when I was sent to digestive doctor and luckily I got mavyret .Feel so blessed to have have it .4 weeks in and another 4 weeks to go .I will keep posting.Thank you
