4 weeks into Viekra Pak (undetected from 10 million)
« on: August 28, 2016, 07:43:56 am »
Contracted 2010, diagnosed in 2012.
Started Viekra Pak 4 weeks ago
Viral load count was 10,000,000 plus.
After 4 weeks it's undetected.
 I was diagnosed in prison, a few months before my release. That ended up upsetting me and taking my Florida Dep Of Corrections (Rehabilitated body and mind) and turned me back in the wrong direction. Using in work release on the mean streets of south St
 Pete.
Almost died a few times
 Found and lost jobs
Back to jail, baker acted, two more overdoses.
Living at the homeless shelter, I met someone who lost more to drugs than anybody I've ever met...her kid's father, her brother, mom, and dad all died from drugs.
She and I got married. She saved me.
I got on Methadone, on Bipolar meds, and did the waiting game for HCV TX. Here I am. 
I still need help.
Side effects aren't terrible. I've put on too much weight.
Viekra and Ribavirin.
So far so good. 8 pills a day does suck.
Small price to pay, huh?
