As are ALL of ours. You two have shown a strong light on the concept of ' 'keeping on keeping on, and yet doing it with love, compassion and empathy.
Prayers are with you both, day by day, to help lift and hold you up to SVR.
Blessings, Pat
btw! Thanks for the kind words. I believe this is important. just wish those who have relapsed would also post (several, recently, have reported relapses) as I believe their results are every bit as important as the SVRs.
My thoughts are with the both of you Nan! SVR for sure this time.
Just checking in. Thank you, Pat, for keeping this informative thread alive.
I'm sorry I haven't been posting much this year since my husband fractured his right femur and humerus last Thanksgiving. It's been a very tough year. As a liver transplant patient, his bones are taking much longer to heal. Add to that that he has been on Harvoni for 18 weeks now, well life could not be tougher. He has had edema in both legs since the third week on treatment which has made physical therapy very difficult and painful. But we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel as he has only 6 weeks to complete the 24 week treatment. He has been undetected for the virus since the second week. So we are hopeful he will reach SVR this time around.
So happy to read so many are finally reaching SVR!
Best regards to you all! Nan

.After 28 Days I my viral load was undetectable which I was so happy. After I was done taking my med I ended up with extreme exhaustion and find it had to breath when I do anything. I can not do anything if I push myself I end up having side effects like so cold I have to sit on a heating pad and cover up. I have had 4 of these so far and no one can find out what is wrong with me. I did not have any of these problem before just after I finshed my treatment. I hope it gets better as time goes on I will just have to wait it out.

Additional Comments:
No side effects to speak of. I was able to XC ski regularly and cycle 200 mi+ a week while on treatment. Hemoglobin went as low as 13.9 but no anemia
