Terrific News!!!
« on: June 30, 2014, 11:24:33 am »
Hello Everyone,

I had a post a few months back when i was first diagnosed with this condition. I have not posted since my first thread, and have refrained due to feeling overwhelmed over the months for personal reason(despite the positive support here). However, let just say I thank you all very, very much for your support and I wish everyone here the best! Things will be fine, i know it!!! Be strong!

I began the 12-week ribavirin + sovaldi treatment in December and completed the course in March.Short Background: I am 26 years old, Latino, and My viral load was high at 9.2 million when i was first diagnosed last spring. I am sure i received this virus when i was preemie due to a blood transfusion.

Side effects for me were daily headaches (some days worse than others) and a few rashes, but other than that treatment was tolerable.


With all that said, i had my blood work done a couple weeks ago on the 13th and received my results today. All blood work came back normal and the virus is undetectable/cured. Tears of joy!!!

The best step: My doctor recommends i get blood work done once a month to make sure it remains undetectable.

Once again, thank you for your support and i wosh everyone the best!! This virus can and will be beaten!!
