Don't know what to do. I started treatment in May of this year, after 30 days my viral load went from 3.3 mil to 38 ,after 60 days went to undetectable. I just went to get tested at 4 months post treatment and it came back 6.69 mil, is this even possible?

?? Talk about a surprise. 4 months from nothing to 6.69 mil?

Hi Rich,

First off, I am sorry the beast wasn't completely gone and sending you a big hug. All it takes from what I understand is one teeny tiny minuscule molecule of the virus that even blood work can't find for it to start replicating itself again. That's everyone's fear when we hear we are ND and virus free and it's exactly why no one actually wants to say they are cured until 6 months post treatment.

I am fairly new to this myself but am digging in with both feet. I don't know about your specifics with Hep c but Harvoni came out a few weeks ago and I have heard it's had amazing results and in about another month or so the AbbieV drug is expected to be approved. I myself am on S/O for 12 weeks, 5 + weeks in now and UD but bloodwork says the dreaded < 15 which I've been told means it can't find it but won't say it's gone.

Give your doctor a call and see what he/she recommends as your next step. Let us know what's going on and what they recommend for your next course of action. I think a few of us are going to be in your boat soon and the more information we can share they better for all of us.

You will beat this beast, you will win the battle!

Rich1957,
Yes, very possible as you see. Some say that SVR12 is cured and others including one of the moderators made his declaration after SVR24. If I remain UD at 24 weeks post treatment then I will consider myself cured.
I see that you were treated with sov & rib and did not use Olysio. Omitting the Olysio gives you a another option and it should make it easier to be approves for Harvoni (contains a PI similar to Oylsio), or the AbbV 3D.
Viral # doesn't mean a lot except when you are UD to verify that you have beat this.

Rich,
I'm finishing up the same treatment as you. 24 weeks. Your the 3rd on this forum that it has failed. I am a different Genotype, 1b--yours is different and the others were different. it is a bitch to go thru this and not get the results desired. The doctors had an alternative for the then off-label Olysio. Mine did not want to "offend" the insurance and have to do extra appeals on his patient's behalf.
I tell you, I am not a happy camper to here this news, as you did what you were asked with high hopes, and then this shit happens. My Doctor was just lazy.
I am doing extra steps to get my immune system aggressive after I stop treatment cause I do not want to go thru this again, and I don't want to visit any dammed doctor for hepc anymore.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and I know I can't say much that will help with the emotions you must be feeling.

Remember this, however: There are a lot of new treatments in the works, which will be available in the very near future.

You'll beat this!

Mike just want to thank you for the encouragement. Been studying everything I can to understand why. Just like when you work on a car very often we treat the symtoms not the problem. Since I've tested positive again everything in my body seems to be off. I've developed a staph infection that doesn't want to clear, have trouble breathing ,feeling lazy and ill, not the real me. I moved to TN and became involved with someone now I worry about infecting them , the last thing in the world i want to do. Have'nt gotten an appt with the gi doc yet. Guess it is more important to me than them. Things just don't seem to make sense, I need more answers, and I will find them. Thanks again, Will have to change from post to pre and start all over again. The only thing i'm not is depressed, just determined. Signing off for now.

Hi Rich1957 aka Fred
Sorry to here of your relapse. I am genotype 1a and treated with Sovaldi Olysio for 12 weeks back in March to June for 12 weeks but the new recommendation for cirrhosis I guess is 24 weeks so any way I relapsed at my 12 week post test. I remember wondering as well what could I have done differently but I guess that is yesterday's news now.

I read some of your old posts I see you are genotype 2 but I don't see that you know your fibrosis level. Maybe that had some part in your results I do see that people with cirrhosis and genotype 2 only had an 83% SVR rate.

Also someone mentioned Harvoni but right now that is only for genotype 1 patients. I am on day 18 of Harvoni retreating.

What does your doctor recommend the next step is?

Wishing you the best
Lynn

Rich1957 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 06, 2014, 02:24:16 am »

Lynn, Thanks for your reply.I only had a ultrasound on my liver and they said there was no sign of any damage. Does'nt mean that there wasn't any. The blood tests showed normal liver and kidney function. Been trying to get into see the gastroligist that I was referred to it's been almost a month and no appt. When I was tested first part of Nov, all numbers were good but cholesterol jumped . Been woking on a house with a bad mold infestation, that might be causing some of the new symtoms. I just need to know. When diagnosed they said I was a symatic, no other signs of damage even though I may have been infected for many yrs. They thought sol/ rib for 12 would do it. Never thought it would come back with such vengence. Just need some answers, will feel better when I see the new doc. They are treating everything else with anti biotics and steroids, don't like this course of action, it's like we don't know so we will treat everything. Hope the new treatment works for you. Been fighting the fight long, do you know how and when it all started? Wishing you the best,

Lynn K · « **Reply #9 on:** December 06, 2014, 02:36:53 am »

Hi Fred
I imagine I became infected in either 1978 when I got a tattoo in a GI hang out bar in Germany when I was stationed there from 77-80. Or the more likely reason I was a wild one back in the day and tried drugs all of 3 times but that was likely all it took. I am still crazy but not that crazy just youthful experimentation. So it is what it is.....

Treated 3 times with the old interferon based treatments and diagnosed with cirrhosis in Jan 2008. Before I was diagnosed with cirrhosis and for a couple of years after I had no symptoms either. And my liver functions have been only slightly elevated for many years just barely above normal.

Hope your doctor gets your symptoms sorted out and you feel better soon

Wish I could say that someone did this to me , but I was no angel for many yrs. My wife passed away when her liver failed. Just two yrs ago. Say how she went wasn't nice. It's also been yrs since I've done anything to but me at risk. But like you said only takes once. I'm sure it can be eradicated but worry about long lasting side affects. When i was young never planned on living past 30, now that I have some yrs on me want a little more , ya know.

Lynn K · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2014, 03:15:00 am »

Sorry to hear about your wife I have heard cirrhosis is not a way you want to leave this place not an easy way to go.

As far as after effects I don't expect any but guess I will find out when I get there but really what other choice is there? And anyway "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy" so worry does no good anyway. Not useful, not helpful.

You and I aren't going anywhere any time soon don't you know only the good die young so that is why we are still here lol

Best to you

Hi Fred,

I failed treatment the first time around and was warehoused for 14 years until the next generation of drugs were available. There are currently a lot of things in the works and new treatments coming out next year (which is only a month away).

You'll beat this dragon for sure.

On another note, house molds can cost significant health issues and might be the cause of some of the things going on:

Here's a list of symptoms:

Mental and neurological symptoms
Respiratory symptoms
Circulatory symptoms
Vision and eye problems
Skin problems
Immune system problems
Reproductive system problems
Tiredness and discomfort

Be careful with the stuff.

Best wishes, Mike

I've been getting every bug in the wind, turning into a germaphobe. Can't wait to get a little bit healthier. Really thought I had this thing licked, guess it had a different idea. Been down but going with the flow. I know I will eventually get there, hope it's before there is to much more damage to my liver. Hope this Dr knows his shit. Hate when you talk to them and you are more versed then they are. Well that's enough griping for know. Will update when I get more info on what they want to do.

Sorry to hear about the relapse…..please keep us posted. I am also in Tennessee and am very interested in knowing what your doctors assessment is and the next course since you are also G2. I will not have my three month check until end of February and get quite nervous when I hear news like this. I started out with a 3.2 million VL.

Rich1957 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2015, 04:25:33 am »

$:-\$ Well it is March 14th , the insurance turned me down for Harvoni, said since I was gen 2b said that it wasn't for me. Waiting on the appeal for 16 wks. of sovaldi/ rib treatment, did 12 wks. about a year ago, but it came back with a vengence. I've had hep-c for 25 yrs. The viral load was 3.3 mil before treatment in 2014, went to ud then at my 4 month blood work it went to 6.9 mil. I've been waiting on the insurance co. ever since. Should find out soon. Got my fingers crossed. Love reading about all the people that are getting cured, gives me hope. Praying for everyone, we all deserve to be hep-c free. Want to get on with my life.

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Recommendations for Testing, Managing, and Treating Hepatitis C

http://www.hcvguidelines.org/full-report-view

Initial Treatment Box. Summary of Recommendations for Patients Who are Initiating Therapy for HCV Infection by HCV Genotype

http://www.hcvguidelines.org/full-report/initial-treatment-box-summary-recommendations-patients-who-are-initiating-therapy-hcv

state as follows:

"Recommended regimen for treatment-naive patients with HCV genotype 2 infection.
Daily sofosbuvir (400 mg) and weight-based RBV (1000 mg [<75 kg] to 1200 mg [>75 kg]) for 12 weeks is recommended for treatment-naive patients with HCV genotype 2 infection."

Per the prescribing information sheet for Harvoni currently Harvoni is only approved by the FDA for the treatment of Genotype 1 regardless of subtype A or B

http://www.gilead.com/~/media/Files/pdfs/medicines/liver-disease/harvoni/harvoni_pi.pdf

"INDICATIONS AND USAGE

HARVONI is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 infection in adults."

So unless prescribed off label or in a clinical trial, Harvoni is not for Genotype 2

The reason this is the treatment for genotype 2 come from the Valence clinical trial results of 97% SVR in patients in that trial for treatment naive genotype 2 without cirrhosis

http://depts.washington.edu/hepstudy/presentations/uploads/93/valence.pdf

Good luck on treatment

Tess1971 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 15, 2015, 02:48:36 pm »

Got my 13 week post treatment results and all blood work excellent and still Undetectable for hcv. Dr also told me that there were new drugs down the pike that treats all genotypes cross the board, so that means even the geno 2s like me will have an alternative if needed. I read same thing in my research.
Not sure why some relapse and others do not, if genetics or other health factors as I have had hcv since the early 70s when I contracted hbv and hcv at same time. Cleared the hep b but not the nonAnonB at the time. Ended up with antibodies for both and surface antigens for the hepc.
I can feel the difference these days, feel healthier and more resilient for sure………….still have bouts with skin - histamines going crazy it seems…..am positive that will resolve in time.

Tess1971 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 17, 2015, 02:52:49 pm »

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou My next VL test will not be for 6 mos unless I want to do it earlier. I will have to think on that for sure. I asked about that when I saw dr and he said in his experience that after a year relapse is pretty much non existent and extremely low if not detected after three or six months. This is a big thing for me to swallow after all these years. I do feel different, almost lighter in a way even mentally. Like I said previously only issue is the histamine problems, seems I have allergy reactions now that I did not have before. I feel like my immune system is souped up now as it does not have the virus to keep it busy like it did for decades…..hahaha Allergies are immune responses so it makes sense. That includes the skin too.

Rich1957 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 17, 2015, 05:38:01 pm »

I was und at 4 wks during treatment, also 8 wks, and 12 wks. Then at 4 months post treatment my viral load went to 6.9 mil. When I originally started treatment my load was 3.5 mil. Yes I took the sov/ rib combo for 12 wks. I finished treatment on july 8th of 2014.

Rich1957 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 17, 2015, 05:43:40 pm »

Tess what kind of skin problems did you experience? I had problems with a rash and a staph infection, never in my life had I had any kind of skin problems.

Tess1971 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 17, 2015, 05:56:04 pm »

Rich I had itching everywhere and rashes cropping up on my legs and arms that looked almost like hives or prickly heat. Even my back got bumpy and itched and still does and I rarely got rashes unless I got into stuff like poison ivy. That is what I thought I did at first it was so bad at one point. I am still having skin flair ups now especially when outside as I am in the country and do yard work on a off. If this continues it is gonna be a rough summer. Never had all these allergy symptoms and I have lived here for decades even though I originated from the big Apple.
I wonder why the sovaldi and ribavirin did not work for you………..are you cirrhotic? or taking another medication that may have interfered? I always want to learn from others first hand since all the info we and our doctors rely on is from studies and pharmaceuticals and not real world info from the actual people.

Rich1957 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 17, 2015, 06:08:29 pm »

Tess no I don't take any meds. And no they did a ultra sound and said that my liver looks great, also my blood work is really good. No signs of cirrhosis yet. The only thing I changed is I moved to TN. in July of last year, from Oh.

Tess1971 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 17, 2015, 07:26:23 pm »

Wow Rich I'm in Tn also………..I guess I need to be vigilant until the next blood work as this last one was 13 weeks post treatment. I finished tx 11/15/14. Did your dr speculate as to why the sov/riba did not take. I had a VL like yours and had it for decades. It used to fluctuate but was always high. Only time it was in the thousands is when I was in my 30s and that was sometime ago - ha!

Rich1957 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 17, 2015, 10:49:05 pm »

Tess I have changed docs. since moving to TN. The doc here is a little inexperienced I think.I asked many questions about why and nothing. The only thing I can find is I was taking antacids with my meds, and now I read that maybe a no no. But still the meds worked, but maybe not good enough. That still doesn't explain the higher numbers post treatment. It's been two weeks since they supposedly filed my apppeal and nothing yet. I should have filed for myself. Hope everything works out for you. Tired of being tired. Your not in Eastern TN. are you?

Tpropane · « **Reply #33 on:** March 18, 2015, 03:48:50 am »

Antacids are about the the only contraindicated drug on the list. They are a huge no- no. I hope that you can start over. With health and knowledge and the hope and love of all of us with you and pulling for you. 24 weeks of Harvoni. No antacids! I can't believe that they didn't tell you that...Your story freaks us all out.
You also need a fibroscan or biopsy to know the exact status of your liver now, and maybe a better doctor. You have to be your own boss and know this stuff yourself and ask for it. My doc did't know gilead recommended 24 weeks. I read the 32 page PDF on their website. It is your health. You want it. Go get it. Live it. BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE>

When my doc asked if I took any medication I told him I only take antacids and he never said anything about it. I feel so stupid know. I also read the info on the Gilead site that is where I found the info on the antacids. Expensive mistake. I guess you live and learn. I felt that I had researched alot about the meds and side affects to your body but since I was not on any other meds I wasn't looking for any interactions.

Tess1971 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 18, 2015, 11:27:37 am »

The specialty pharm I got the meds from sent me an entire pamphlet full of stuff re the meds and also enclosed all of Gileads inserts with the studies and contraindications. Even antibiotics can have an effect so I literally took nothing during treatment but an occasional vitamin and I mean occasional. I even stopped the diuretic I was taking for bp since it made me too dehydrated. Seems now I no longer need it as my bp is staying normal.
Rich, I am in middle tennessee outside of Nashville. Doctor (gastro) I have is okay, but, I got more feedback from the specialty pharm who actually was available by phone 24/7 and seemed more informed than doctors.

Lynn K · « **Reply #36 on:** March 20, 2015, 07:08:25 pm »

The antacid concern is only for Harvoni because the Ledipasvir component of Harvoni requires a normal stomach acid environment. Rich1957 was on Sovaldi Ribavirin and there is no requirement to avoid antacids.

Drugs specifically listed on the prescribing info sheet for Sovaldi are Rifampin and St. John’s wort should not be used with SOVALDI

http://www.gilead.com/~/media/Files/pdfs/medicines/liver-disease/sovaldi/sovaldi_pi.pdf

Also Rich is GT 2b and Harvoni is currently only for GT 1.

So sorry to hear Rich I hope they have new options for you soon.

Went to the Dr today to get my first bloodwork done. Yesterday was 28 days into treatment. They said that no one else gets bloodwork during treatment?

I'm having second thoughts about this Dr. Thought it was standard practice to at least check the viral load during treatment to find out how the meds are working?

? I don't know, I'm just glad I am being treated again. Wonder how many hep-c patients this Dr is treating?

Well anyway everyone is in my prayers, I hope everyone gets the treatment they need.

Tess1971 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 29, 2015, 01:17:25 pm »

Rich I never got tested during treatment either, only for anemia related, kidney and liver functions - no viral loads. Some doctors reasoning is they want to continue treatment all the way no matter the results. Some insurances may not renew if it did not appear working enough for them and it can also affect adherence of some patients. This is one of the explanations I received at the time.

dragonslayer · « **Reply #46 on:** April 30, 2015, 09:36:25 am »

Because Harvoni treatment doesnt generally call for response guided treatment such as the older treatments did, there isnt a whole lot of purpose in doing on treatment viral loads. Plus which, numbers derived therein dont correlate well with SVR, so what's the point? For folks with severe liver damage and failed prior treatments, exceptions are sometimes made.

Good Luck Rich!!!

Lynn K · « **Reply #47 on:** April 30, 2015, 08:12:50 pm »

Even as a multiple treatment failure with cirrhosis (I am treating for 24 weeks) there would still be little reason to check for viral load.

The only test that is for all the marbles is the 12 week post treatment.

All on treatment viral load tests do is either make us the patient feel good if not detected or if not totally not detected at week 4 make us worry needlessly.

I know it is exciting to see not detected at week 4 or whenever but it means nothing in relation to SVR.

Rich1957 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 11, 2015, 10:40:09 am »

Just got my bloodwork back from my first 28 days on sov./ rib. treatment. this is my second time in the last yr. the viral load is undetectable and alt. / ast are 11 / 18.

Lynn, Great news! I'm hoping for more great news for you whenever your next viral load test happens!

I do my 12wk post tx labs on the May 27. I've kinda blocked it out of my mind since I received the EOT labs. I needed to take a break from thinking about this 24/7 and get back to living life. Now that I'm two weeks out I'm back to thinking about it.

Congrats, so far, Lynn.. If anybody deserves some good news around here, its you, for all youve gone through with prior treatments. I know everybody is really pulling for you especially hard.
