Great for people who are waiting for treatment to see it’s worth going through with it and don’t suffer in silence come and talk about it it’s awfull c the way it makes you feel it’s something you have to hide.i like you would like to work as a drug councillor for young ones ,all the ones I had had never used just read text books .....xx

I agree Alan not just that I found from my own personal experience. That the people I listen too and respected for back in rehab where the ones who had been there them selves.You can read all the text books in the world your still never gonna fully understand what it’s like only someone who has lived it will ever really get it.x

I have the same strain and don't worry about the medication they are really good now. I started treatment of maviret tabelets 4 weeks ago now. Today I have had my results back from my 2 week blood tests. The liver is now back to normal and the hep as totally gone that's 2 week after starting treatment. I had further blood taken today. Will get the results when I go back in 4 weeks that's when treatment ends. It's not half as bad as it all sounds
