Hi, my name is Mamba & I have Hep C Geno 1a
(Hi Mamba) lol

I start my first ever tx tomorrow. I'll be taking Peg Alfa 2a, riba & sovaldi. My protocol will be a 12 week long tx that will produce a dead dragon.

Let's do this thing!

You'll do fine Mamba!!! 12 weeks you can do standing
on your head in elephant dung!!! Mr. Oso and I did it!!
Our heads stunk a little after!!! LOL.

Hi packedsand here - GT 2a or 2c. Started treating with 400 mg of sovaldi and 1000mg of riba 13 days ago. Doing okay so far I think. Still haven't had first blood draw yet, but I believe that draw is only gonna check for platelet counts... Hugs to you Mr Oso and Ozzita for dealing with the Interferon tx without the Sovaldi. Mamba you will do fine I am sure ! xxxooxox

Great post MrOSO... A great idea to know who is treating and what protocol is being used!! Things are ever-changing...

Doc. appt. the 29th to see what he thinks I should do. I am geno 1b and really want to avoid Riba and inf. I am on the fence , I am a bit leery of the possible long term effects of the new drugs. I'd hate to see some lawyer on the tv, 2 years from now, asking if we developed brain tumors from olysio or the other one Simprevir(?). ugh!

I will start taking Solvadi, and Ribavirin. not sure of how long Dr has not said just yet, but I think 24 weeks. I am Geno Type 1a. Never treated before. My meds arrived today 01-23-14 start tomorrow.

Sovaldi & Olysio for me.

I'm 1B, CT. Started 1/13/14. First blood Tuesday the 21st. Next dr appt Mon. the 27th.

NO SIDE EFFECTS WHATSOEVER! Hard to believe i'm treating.

Previously relapsed on Faldapvir + Riba + BI investigational drug.

Arabella - YES! We are guinea pigs, but I would rather be a live guinea pig than suffer a painful death from liver cancer!

This year and next present golden opportunities for all of us!

Geno 1a ..non responder 13 years ago... january 6 started interferon.. 1200 mg Riva and sovaldi and a 12 week plan..and manna ..love your wording... I am slaying the dragon this time !!!!

WTG all of yous!

May the dragon slaughter begin!

Got the call today from my hep doc's nurse~~~
my insurance APPROVED Sovaldi + Olysio (no nasty riba with it either).

So I'm not treating QUITE yet, but it's gonna happen - waiting for the specialty pharmacy to call and set up DRUG deliveries and all that jazz! I'll post when I do my first day - one each of Olysio and Sovaldi - how sweeeet is that?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geno 1a, Stage 3 - but not for much longer!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Here's to a whole lot of DEAD DRAGONS!

I've had this unwelcome beast in my liver for going on 45 years - oh, what a relief it will be when it's DEAD. I love animals, but this thing ain't no nice animal - it's a mean bastard.

I dont think its even an animal...its a evil demon....

I am taking a 12 week exorcism to ward the demon back to ...he...double tothpicks!!!

How did I miss this?
Congrats to you all who have started the new tx's! Please keep us updated on your progress. MWC is also on a 12 week Sova/riba/ and going on week 3. ( I think, 3)
