I had the interferon treatment. I think I was on the injections for a year. Had to stop working, it was hard on me. My viral load has been non detectable for years. A couple of years ago a gastroenterologist told me I was considered cured.Ya know, I was 'diagnosed' with german measles just after I got out of basic.. funny I had them as a child, and so that didn't seem right to me. Then when I had #2 son (my daughter) I had a nasty flare up.. That doctor diagnosed me with RA. Hmmm, I went to see a practitioner of TCM years later and he said, liver problems.. get it checked.. So I went to the VA and the nurse there was thoughtful enough to recognize the symptoms. RA titer not high enough for RA, no joint damage at all, and had me tested for Hep C. Yup. sure enough.. VA kept trying to push the rabaviron/interferon treatment on me, but I did my homework and saw that it had a very low cure rate, ntm made a lot of folks more depressed, so I waited. Then came Harvoni.. did more research and said, Oki Doki and went for it. 4 weeks into treatment, I was clear and have remained clear to this day.
