4 Week Results just came in!
« on: October 16, 2016, 03:36:00 pm »
So before treatment my viral load started at 4.4 million. After just 4 weeks I am down to 46! Im feeling incredible. My doctor said the last 46 can be the hardest. Im hoping after the last 4 weeks I will be undetected. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Patrick!
Congratulations on your 4 week labwork -did you say 4.4 million down to 46? That is awesome! I myself see my Dr this Thursday and I hope I do as well!! You are so lucky that you are a runner. You are young and in great condition as for the joint pain ask you Dr.? Did the pain go away? I hope just temporary! Best of luck!

Congrats Patrick!! Amazing isn't it? I just started Saturday and have waves of some various side effects but am also having joint pain. My elbows even hurt!!! Lol
its tolerable but I just keep telling myself, no worries that's the meds getting in every nook and crannie killing those little buggers.
