Blood tests today. Takes a week to get PCR and Viral load results but my LFTs were great. ALT 49 (normal range for this lab 65), AST 48 and GGT which the nurse believes is a very strong indicatior came in at 75 (was 90) My Platelets dropped from 171 to 123 and Neutrophils from 2.5 to .8. So based on those rea...

I'm a 63 years old woman and was just diagnosed with Hep C in Jan. 2014 when I started to have bruising problems due to low platelet count. Big surprise. I've had it since 1977 and at this point I'm early stage cirrhotic with a liver lesion that's being monitored with CT scan and MRI's every 3 months. I'm be...

Hi , My name is August West and I started a 12 week tx of Sovaldi/Olysio 8 weeks ago. In the last 3 months I have seperated from my wife and in doing so that separated me from my 7 year old daughter. I'm about 1200 miles from them. I am having a hard time finding work and honestly life just sucks for me right now....

Hi everyone, I completed 6 weeks of treatment today, and I recently got the results back from my 4 week VL test. Initial VL was 469838, and after 4 weeks it was 158. I was pretty happy with a 3 log drop, but the nurse seemed disappointed that I wasn't undetected. Maybe I'm reading too much into her reaction...

Hi All, I was hoping someone may have some research data they have read or seen that shows that 24 weeks on the Sovaldi/Olysio had higher SRV24 rates than the 12 week protocol. My doctor has agreed to extend my tx up to the 24 weeks, but he said we would have a hard time convincing my insurance company. I ha...

Hi, all. Just a few questions about treatment with Sovaldi + Olysio that hopefully some knowledgable people here will be able to answer: - Why shouldn't the meds be stored in a refrigerator?

Hi All, So at week 4 I was at the lowest detection VL rate before being undetectable.
