Hi and Welcome to the forum
Which treatment are you on? I am also a 3 time null responder GT 1a but I have cirrhosis. I just finished 12 weeks of Sovaldi Olysio is that what you are taking?
I had no sides really maybe some aching joints but who can tell what is a side effect and what is being 56?
My liver functions returned to normal in the 1st week and my viral load was undetectable a 4 weeks. Currently I am 2 weeks post treatment and waiting to hear if I am still undetectable at 12 weeks post which my doctor tells me is cunsidered cured of hep c
Good luck on your treatment
