Week 4 viral load
I went in for my 4 week appt with the nurse NP. We talked about my side effects. I told her the most annoyig ones are the itchiness and rash on my head. Im also having trouble falling asleep. She said I could take ibruprophen. She also said I could take benadryl for the itching and it may help me sleep at night. My question though, is about ibruprophen.... I thought most people said acetemenophen was recommended? She also went over my recent labs. My viral load is less than 15 which means undetected! Woo hoo! Does anyone know what the risk of relapse after treatment is? You would think I would be so excited, and I am, but I can't help but wonder what the chances are that it will come back. Im hoping you all are doing well!

week 4 is not soon enough to exhale, I\'m afraid. once you are undetected at 12 weeks, then there is VERY little chance for relapse. *I THINK* Others likely know more than i do.
Congrats on that 4 wk result!!! Forget \" what most people say\" & listen to your own doctors, ask them what is best for you. They are treating you, successfully. Week 4 undie is a good sign & it shows the meds are working.
I have cirrhosis & my GI says ibuprofen. I am in no danger of bleeding.
I did riba with solv, it was hard, I couldn\'t finish. Not worrying about it because there are many better options and my 4 & 12wk were undie. Continued best wishes to you!
