Gen 3 is sometimes harder to treat and vosevi had three elements in it which thankfully helped ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

My husband still had 26 at 8 weeks but with vosevi was undetected after 4 weeks, so we were worried as this would have been the latest medication to have, only came out last July in uk I think, just pleased its worked, just got to go for a liver scan in July now as fibroscan was 8.9 a year ago.

Hi apart from being tired he had leg aches and headaches, his job is hard to but he did well and didnโ€™t take time off, works in construction, also did not want to socialise with anyone much, he lost his father in beteeen everything and that didnโ€™t help as I found him to get irritated quickly, as much as they say there are no side effects I think there are, he has a very bloated stomach now, he did take both medicines over 10 months, but hopefully over time will feel himself again.
