Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Actually more than 6 months SVR now. But every time I get sick and vomit I wonder if I am relapsing...
So far the Harvoni has kept its expensive promise. I just hope all those who have givien up trying to clear the virus will give Harvoni a try. The side effects as compared to Sovaldi/Riba (personally speaking) are minimal, and it works!

we've all known the fear, pain. and feelings of defeat with this disease so its only natural to feel paranoid after tx, glad to hear another success story

Yeah it seems like there are others here that are afraid it might come back. I am in my second month of taking Harvoni and I have NO side effects. Not even tiredness. Just try and relax and have faith. Deep breathing helps also. Good luck ..........

I took Sovaldi/Ribavirin 16 weeks relapsed with in 90 days. End of January 2016 will be 1 year SVR (or at least I hope it is!) after 12 weeks Harvoni. My 6 month SVR was undetectable still!
Good luck to those in tx!

You must be a lot like me!!!

I am now 14 months post tx and I have had more viral load tests done as I have been in full panic mode that the Hep C was back.

I also have 2 prior attempts with old tx that still stay in my mind.

I have finally realized that my liver is NOT 100% and will give me a little trouble from time to time. Trying to relax as I mean for real I have had about 5 viral loads done (requested by me FEARING that the virus was back).
just wanting to end my life if it was.....So now I wonder all those times I was sick in the past thinking it was the Hep C, just what is going on inside of me that I blamed the Hep C for?

I never sought any help as I ASSUMED it was the hepatitis C and possibly it never was......Going Tuesday to get scoped as my problems are still there, whatever they are...
