Hey Steven,

May I ask why you're checking your testosterone so frequently? Mine tanked during treatment and returned to normal levels afterwards. Try and relax and forget that for now. It will improve but it takes time, maybe months in many cases. Recovery often takes an extended period of time.

Stress could be responsible for your BP elevation, but it's always best to run that by your doctor to be sure. You might start by taking it several times per day to see if there are fluctuations in the readings or if it is consistently elevated. Document it for the discussion with your doc, they will want to know.

If you are undetected at 10 weeks, the chance that you will be at 12 and thereafter are all but guaranteed. Relax buddy and polish those dancing shoes...

Hi Steven, I also responded to you on the 2nd day post treatment thread, hadn't seen this one yet.  My BP is through the roof, it was great when I was working out before tx. Now its 189/80 and they don't want to start me on BP meds.. I also gained 13-15 lbs on 3 mo. tx. I think maybe the BP has something to do with my headaches, which are different headaches.  We'll see whats going to shake out with more time, at least for now we have a better chance for that with harvoni.  All in Gods hands, the Creator

Thanks for speaking up about whats happening with you.....smile

Hey guys. I did my post treatment 10 week labs . I was undetectable AST 22 ALT27 what is odd though is my testosterone continues to go down. Now it's down to 276, down from 303 the last time and 540 before treatment. My blood pressure has been high and I keep getting horrible headaches. It's been In the 140-150/90-100 range. I believe I'm cured of this nasty thing. SVR is 2 weeks away but I told God if I was undetectable at 10 weeks I would relax and trust Him it would be at 12 also. Anyone had any BP issues? Maybe I'm just stressing myself out and the reality of being cured hasn't sunk in yet
