Get the call : SVR4 is all mine
« on: October 30, 2018, 08:05:12 pm »
After relapsing on 8 wks Harvoni, 12 wks of Vosevi seems to have done the job.
It's gone and the more the clock ticks, the higher chance I have of long term SVR. AST 16 and ALT 19. VL : zero.
I've been going through some changes for sure. I tend to feel bad that I let my loved 2003 Sentra go last December. But it seems to be a feeling I'm going to have no matter what I think about. It's part of clearing HCV I guess.
I worked today for several hours and it felt good.

I tend to feel sensitive and sad about stuff. Like lost family or anything at all. I trust I will outgrow this after a while. I'm a better person now. I'm HCV free, at least for right now.

Lukey you should be just about at the 12 week eot. We are all waiting and pulling for you. You deserve a break to say the least, I remember you had one hell of rough ride with treatment the last time around.
My thoughts are with you my good man!

Thank you. I have no reason to think I relapsed. I'll find out soon and will let you all know.

Have there been any relapsers on Vosevi? If so, I have not heard of them.
