As I walked in the door from doing some grocery shopping today I picked up the mail which included my latest set of lab results (10 days old actually, but still the most recent I have). My viral load number is down to 310 IU/ml. Yes! Woohoo, etc.!
Since my viral breakthrough my numbers have run 40,000; 10,000; 5,000; 1500; 990 and now 310. In ten weeks I have achieved a log 2.2 reduction in my viral load. With any luck, my test this Wednesday will put me very close to undetectable.
Yes, it’s getting ahead of myself to think about hitting undetectable (under 47IU/ml by this test method) but optimism is what fuels successful treatment and I remain resolutely optimistic.
So there, the graph is going down, the interferon is hunting out and killing the remnants of the Hepatitis C viral horde that was infesting my body and now I am going to go take some drugs and watch a terrible Sci-Fi channel movie with my wife.
I hope your evening is as exciting as mine…

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers..
