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.
I am extremely fortunate to have been able to start my treatment for this condition using the Sovaldi/Ribo mix, but information is sparse when compared to the Interferon resources available. I was fully expecting to be taking that, and was very happy to find out that Sovaldi was available and all those years of paying a fortune in insurance was paying off!
I would be very interested in comparing notes with anyone else who is further down the line with Sovaldi. I only just started the treatment this week, and I suspect it is a little early to have any major side effects manifest if they are going to...

Was saying, no question of even
I heard you cannot use the lesser than/greater than symbols. Instead just type those words out and your post should work. I read 'HCV NOT DETECTED". Most excellent news indeed.
Thats wonderful news, rocker. Rock on!
blood is down, anemia, so at close to 5 wks cut my reba in half (600)
lots of stiff joint and muscle pain in my hip and outside thigh area this last week but feel pretty good otherwise.
still tire easily but recover quickly as well.
in my opinion I"m doing fine and am half way thru.
Almost done with week 13, sides seem to be stabilizing, I just have the occasional day when I just feel empty of energy, but I sleep well those nights, and it usually gets better the next day. My other blood panels are getting better too, no longer so anaemic, and my blood glucose is back to normal too. I am still taking daily E3 Live algae superfood, which I am sure is helping a lot. (PM me for details if interested), and I am also on extra Vit D, Zinc Carnosine, Carnotine, and a Proboost Thymic supplement that my naturopath has recommended.
My exercise routine is getting better, up to approx 6 hours per week of gym and mountain biking, and I am starting to bike back up into the higher elevations and more difficult trails here as I feel stronger. I do need to watch the envelope pushing tho, I did 3 days of hard exercise in a row, then yesterday did 4 hours yard work in the AZ heat, and that has laid me a little low. Joints were playing up last night.
Altogether good news tho!!! I wish this for all of us here and everywhere... keep fighting!
