Hi all

I've had Hep C Genotype 1b since at least the early 90s. I had my round with interferon and ribavirin in 2008 and lost . I started Twinvir treatment on 20 January, and finished on 12 April. 11 weeks post EOT I'm still undetected and I have cause for confidence that I'm finally rid of the virus.

Prothrombin 15.6 16.4 15.9 15.6

VL 1980000 UND UND UND

My thanks goes to Leon and the good people at Incept Pharmaceuticals in Bangldesh, as well as to the UAE MoH for permitting very easy importation of the Twinvir I required to treat the virus.

Always glad to hear about a new generic rebel reaching their SVR!! Spread the word that you don't have to wait around until your sick enough for your insurance company to pay for Gilead's over priced drug when generics will give you the same result. Get screwed Gilead!!

PS sorry about the formatting

Great news diplomat! If you are UND, I bet you don't care about formatting tables in the forum. But for anyone else who wants to try, here is one way to do it:

You need to use tags like this:

[ table]

[ tr]
[ td]Date[ /td] [ td] 30.12.2015[ /td] [ td]13.04.2016[ /td] [ td] 27.04.2016[ /td] [ td]02.07.2016[ /td]
[ tr]

[ tr]
[ td]ALT[ /td] [ td] 257[ /td] [ td]99.4[ /td] [ td] 66.2[ /td] [ td]49.7[ /td]
[ /tr]

[ tr]
[ td]AST[ /td] [ td] 257.1[ /td] [ td]87.3[ /td] [ td] 49.8[ /td] [ td]47.1[ /td]
[ /tr]

[ tr]
[ td]GGT[ /td] [ td] NA[ /td] [ td]75[ /td] [ td] NA[ /td] [ td]57[ /td]
[ /tr]

[ tr]
[ td]VL[ /td] [ td] 1980000[ /td] [ td]UND[ /td] [ td] UND[ /td] [ td]UND[ /td]
[ /tr]

[ /table]

But do NOT put a space after the opening square brackets like I did. This was only to show the tags, not the result.

Each "tr" means start a new row of the table. Each "/tr" means finish the row. Each "td" means "table data", i.e. text to put in the current column of the table". Each "/td" marks the end of the text for that column in the current row. And of course "table" means start a new table, and "/table" means finish formatting the table.

If you leave out the spaces inside the square brackets, you will get this:

Date	30.12.2015	13.04.2016	27.04.2016	02.07.2016
ALT	257	99.4	66.2	49.7
AST	257.1	87.3	49.8	47.1
GGT	NA	75	NA	57
VL	1980000	UND	UND	UND

Diagnosed Jan 2015: GT3, A0+F0/F1. Fatigue + Brain-Fog.
Started Sof+Dac from fixHepC 10-Nov-2015. NO sides.
Pre-Tx: AST 82, ALT 133, Viral Load 1 900 000.
Week4: AST 47, ALT 58. VL < 15 (unquantifiable).
Week12 (EOT): AST 30, ALT 26, VL UND
Week16 (EOT+4): AST 32, ALT 28, GGT 24, VL UND
Week28 (EOT+16): AST 26, ALT 22, GGT 24, VL UND
Ever grateful to Dr James.

Relapsed somewhere after all that... Bummer!

Jan 2018: VL 63 000 (still GT3).

Nice to see the platelets get back into triple digits! Make sure to have regular screening for HCC with AFP/US/CT/MRI for the next few years at least
