It’s mostly about being a recovering addict and overcoming! Hope y’all enjoy…stay tuned in for more!
With the fatigue , was he still able to do the normal things in his life ? Like work etc
Yes although I found stairs and ladders a bit difficult, I worked full time as an electrician throughout the treatment without too much trouble. Hopefully others share that experience.
Man, I have genotype 3 as well. I am 31 and have had it since 23. I have moderate Fibrosis. My viral load was 18,400,000 (whatever widgets they are measured in). I thank God. I feel like I got this Mavyret at the 11th hour. I'm having some weird side effects. I'm getting these heat/numbing waves in my face and pelvic region. I'm pretty exhausted and my eye floaters are going nuts. But, right now I really don't care. I'm just grateful. Thanks for sharing your experience. It means everything.
Thanks for sharing man..can you share your side effects now ? Any changes or ? And are you done ? Etc..oh i see 2 WEEKS ago..edit lol..anyway side effect changes please ?
I didnt really have an side effects
Just started my treatment Tuesday. So glad I found your video, makes me feel so much better! Two years clean off of heroin. Keep on living the good life!
Are you cured ? Side effects PLEASE?
I just started that drug 3 days ago, I’ve very blessed to have gotten it through the drug company as well. It’s a 8 week treatment, unfortunately I do have cirrhosis but with the right diet and this I can continue a normal life
God bless you..thank God , and thanks for sharing
Are you hvc free now ?
Awesome..were you cured ? Side effects PLEASE?
Thanks for sharing your videos I really appreciate the info. I have had Hep C for about 14years now. I am a recovering drug user i have been clean for about 3years now. I am starting my Mavyret treatment in 2 weeks. Seeing your videos makes me feel really good about this treatment. Thanks for the videos once again. 🙂
No problem fam! I had hep c for over a decade myself and the treatment cleared it right up with very little side effects. Congratulations on getting the cure! Stay Tuned In for more content...we post weekly and sometimes daily!
You’re going to be cured! I finished my Mavyret 3 weeks ago. Viral load is undetected as of my last blood work 2 weeks ago. Had basically zero side effects, other than some mild fatigue
@@d_vino8226 Glad to hear another of us is HEP C FREE! Stay clean bro...Congrats!
I started mine this week. So far so good :)
@@StarrySky-ky2uz what about now? Were you cured? And your side effects?
Day 5 of the first week, and our stories are super similar.. genotype 3, intense intravenous drug use in my teens and early 20s, and little to no damage, despite waiting 13 or so years to do anything about it. I'm having nausea along with the fatigue .. you both have really given me hope
Comments like this one are the reason we continue to make these videos! Don’t worry…you are already feeling the worst of the side affects most likely…that’s about all I felt throughout the treatment. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned in! We have some new Hep C recovery discussion vids coming up, and it’s comments like this one that push us to make them :)
Just started weds!! After being dormant and my insurance turning me down my Abbie assistant group helped me for free !!
Thanks for your experience! I have genotype 3 as well. Currently 4 days into my 3rd week of Mavyret. I definitely feel the fatigue your speaking of. It can be annoying, but it’s not devastating. Will go get my first blood draw since taking the medicine next week. 🤞
You will most likely have a viral load of 0! Congratulations on being brave enough to get the treatment!!! A little fatigue is much better than a slow death sentence! I'll have more videos coming make sure you check them out and Subscribe to help support the channel. Good luck with your treatment bro! -Light Tha Dark
@@LightThaDark Results are in! Viral RNA is still detected. However viral load is
I finished mavyret a year ago. I have too much energy. Like normal man.
What's the current situation? Did you do blood test recently? Thanks
@@lukapopovic6668 Cured!
Just saw your video and I'm starting mavyret today so happy for you I'm thankful for getting mine for free my insurance pays for it only once it's 60,000 dollars now y'all are so sweet love it
It was 30k when i got it, but i got it free from Mavyret when it was still in clinical trials, through the free clinic in columbia sc!
Im 16 1/2 yrs clean, and I was not aware of a cure until about a year ago, Then I started researching the cure, and I was finally approved for “Mavyret”. I have type 1A, and Ive had HCV for 19-20 years, with no liver damage at all, I was really blessed with that one. But I just started today, and I’m excited. Once im cured i wanna get back in the gym, and get back in shape. Thanks for the upload.
Wow! You truelly are blessed! I was in that same boat and I was amazed at how blessed I was after all the stuff I’ve done to my body…but the universe had something else in mind :) Good luck with your recovery and fitness regimen!
To follow up with my comment about Mavyret treatment, I just took my last dose “Today”. I go for blood work tomorrow or the next day to see my end of treatment levels. AI took a blood test 3 weeks after initially starting Mavyret and my GI Dr told me its working to keep taking it. So, Im very curious to see what my tests say tomorrow .
God Bless!!
@@LightThaDark Thank you, Yes I feel the same on how the universe and karma handle our lives, I try to put positive vibes, and stay happy and comical most of the time! Makes life happier ya kno!
I’m curious how it worked out for you. I am 33 and just got clean but was still able to get it. It’s a lot to take on at once because I’ve had it since 18 and been using since 16. Life has went so fast. I want to go to the gym and take care of myself too. It’s amazing what our bodies can handle. It surprised me that my organs are still ok after the amount of drugs I have done over time. I’m starting MAVYRET tomorrow and hopefully I don’t have any side effects but if I do I’ll keep pushing because I’ve felt negative about myself for a long time because I have hepatitis C. It made me feel different so I avoided dating or anything for the last decade. Not only that but because I used i didn’t want to bring anybody else down.
@@koreyvalentine4234 Hello, I hope your treatment goes well. Im doing great myself, the treatment worked, and the virus is no longer detected. I changed a lot of bad eating habits after finding out that our livers take 6 months to 3 years to fully recover from the HCV. I was very blessed not to have sorosis.
I wanna give you a kind piece of advice. You’re gonna be just fine if you follow one rule.
Always do the right thing for the right reasons and good things will happen by themselves, I promise. Ive lived by that rule ever since getting clean, and now I can attest to that.
I know sometimes life can really feel overwhelming, or can get you down, just take it day by day, or at least meal to meal. It will get better, also, surround yourself with people that want good for you.
Sobriety isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. You have to want it, and once the hard part is over, the rest is down hill.
I hope things work out for you.
I'm here in Seattle, and my methadone program got me onto the 60-day Mavyret regimen as soon as I had a blood work up done. I'd tested positive for Hep-C since 1997, and I was scared. But I was heroin addicted and in '97, I think all they had was Interferon, which DID have serious side effects. I'm into my 2nd week now with Mavyret and have experienced zero side effects. I'm very, very relieved and grateful to have this opportunity. 🙏
Congrats man! I found out I had Hep C around 2017, but I suspect I contracted it around 2007 give or take a few years. Honestly I continued my constant drug use until I was 30 when I met my wife in 2017. Around that time I went to the free Clinic in South carolina and got blood work done, discovering also that I had Genotype 3, which is generally only contracted by intravenus drug users and has the highest death toll of all genotypes. Luckily Mavyret had recently begun trials as a breakthrough cure for this type of hepatitis, and I was healthy enough to join the trial which was a mirical with my stupid rampant drug use. I thank God every day that my wife made me seek help at the free clinic...I would have just died thinking I had no choice due to the supposed expense of the cure! welcome to the cured club Kevin! Stay Tuned In!
THERE YOU ARE. so glad to see you back
Thanks fam…I’m planning on starting to post regularly on HCV/HEP C recovery very soon, along with drug addiction recovery videos and music. You should definitely check out some of our music…most of it is about my journey as an addict and my recovery!
I just started today and I'm at work with no side effects. My dad was on interferon and it fucked him up. So glad they came this far
Awesome! Congratulations and good luck on a speedy recovery!!! Stay tuned in…we will be posting regular hep c recovery and Mavyret Videos very soon!!!!
Thank you guys I start tommorow morning
Sorry for the late response and congrats!
Sorry for any typos. My vision is blurry as well with this treatment but I’m not complaining. Thank you both for this video. I forgot to mention that in my biography. Lol ☺️ ❤
Thanks for sharing
Saw this post is old but I too started my treatment and just finished my 1rst box , and yes all you said is true , I got my treatment for free the 2 boxes and if you get it tru this way use it as it is intended cause The Mavyret company and the insurance ONLY give it free once in a lifetime for each Patient soo use it right
Thanks for the video. I have type 3, been about 6 years now been sober for 3 years. I decided it's time to do something about this finally, my load is on the high side, blood work came back that I'm healthy still. I have another Dr appointment before he decides what medicine is best for me. Mavryte looks promising. I'll be so glad to get this over with it's hard on the nerves... Thanks for the great videos really up lifting 😊😊.
Yes especially once you know you're type 3. Its the most aggressive form is what the doctor me, and that some large percentage contract liver cancer within 10 years of having it. By the time i married my wife, id already had it 10 years. I was fully convinced i was a dead man walking....but she talked ne into getting checked out at free clinic...turns out i had no organ damage, even with all ive done to my body! So its thanks to her that I was able to eventually share these videos with everyone! I'm planning on posting videos about overcoming an addictive personality soon, a kind of post hep c series! Hope you tune in!
I just finished my treatment today I haven't been tested yet the doctor here in Myrtle Beach told me he would test me a Month after treatment. I have an appointment on the 17th of this month for I guess a check up but I'm gonna try and get him to test me then. I don't think they realize how stressing this is, I didn't get much side affects mostly just a little tired I think it's hard to tell because I was already feeling low energy to begin with but anyway when I do get my results I'll let you know hopefully we're clear...
Well finally got my results back after my treatment and it came back negative so safe too say I've been cleared lots of wait lifted of my shoulders..
Bad side effects after two days and my doc has stopped temporarily (until I feel normal) then start again. Hope for the best!
I'm sorry fam! :( Just be strong...you'll get through this hurdle and be cured!
I'm 3days into my mavryt treatment I hope the fatigue doesn't last the whole 8weeks I have gen type 1 I think
So i ended up getting my meds after a shit show with insurance. Been on it for 6 weeks now. My blood work came back and my viral load is under 15 but its still detecable. And on another not thats got me worried is my doctor said my white blood cell count is high and my hemoglobin is low and i need more blood work and when i google that which i shouldnt of done it says leukemia lol i hate Google
tnx
Just started my treatment today
Awesome! Soon to be Hep C Free!
I’m gonna start the treatment and I’m so scared for the side effects because I’m gonna start a new job and I’m afraid not to have energy well is just a part time job from 3 to 6 pm and in top of all I have cancer but I’m been treating the cancer naturally with a homeopathic dr she is great ! But however I want to see if you can please encourage me not to fear I am a woman of God and I live alone I’m sure God will be by my side in this journey and the best of this is that your husband said in one MONTH!!! He was already cute that’s a really really awesome!! News thank you for your video so most likely is just you feel very tired can I go to the gym ?? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️maybe no maybe yes and can I drive yes or no ?? Can I climb the stairs from my building I hate elevator can I cook do I have strength to cook or even eat 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Did anyone try Milk Thistle
Milk thistle will help with symptoms but won’t annihilate the disease itself.
For what please explain theory or treatment
Does/did anyone have any experience with loss of appetite with HCV? I'm on my second week of Mavyret and my appetite basically has been non existent since my diagnosis of hep c. Hopefully the treatment changes something.
I still have to make myself eat unfortunately.
Im 6'2 and 160 pounds. Weighed 210 before I got hep c.
Thank you much love… #yournotalone
Thanks Family! Stay tuned In!!
Do you feel better since you completed treatment? Do you feel more energetic??
I feel psychologically better…but honestly didn’t notice much difference physically as I was blessed to have no liver damage. However, the psychological relief alone, knowing that I have another chance at life has been SUCH a relief. If you’re thinking about treatment, go for it!
Do you feel better physically than you did before you started the treatment? I was j.w cuz i always feel like shit but dont know if its from the hep or just other shit.
Same here…I didn’t notice much difference
@@LightThaDark my insurance actually just denied my prior authorization for mayvret a few days ago. Idk whats gonna happen next.
@@The_Mavs_Are_Bums I was able to get assistance directly through the Mavyret company…insurance didn’t cover it. Maybe you can try that
@@LightThaDark appreciate that bro
No problem! Hope you get the treatment! Seems like they would be handing out the cure for this deadly disease to anybody asking for it…but you know it’s really all about the almighty $$$! I’m sure you’ll get your treatment! Stay tuned in and keep us posted on your progress!
I honestly LOVE y’all!!! I love your energy and your spirit!! I’m so happy and thankful to God that you’re better!! I’m on day 9 and I haven’t had really any side effects but one good thing is I can’t finally eat! I could go for days and not want to eat, I was always so tired, and it just hit me out of the blue one day! I got tested and that really hurt!!! I thought I was going to die and not be able to see my grand daughters graduate, get married, and I’d miss all their very important mile stones! I’m geno type 1 with 0 scar tissue and that’s AMAZING! I was sooo thankful to God and just started to pray and praise Him🙌🏼♥️💕🥰🧎🏻♀️ I had exploratory surgery when I was 13 and that was in 82, so they told me that many people had contracted hep C from that time period. How do you feel now and how long did it take for you to get your energy back? I got vaccinated for HepB and still have 2 more to go but the Dr told me that my case wasn’t bad like some. When you had it, did you all of a sudden just feel bad and nothing was interesting anymore to you? I just wanted to lay in bed all day and not do a thing! I have to care for my husband and he’s a stage 5 chronic kidney disease patient and I think he’s put dialysis off for so long now that his outlook is bad. I’m a mess y’all!! I was a widow at the age of 35 and lost my true soul mate and now have been married to this wonderful man for 14yrs and he’s not well. Cancer hit him twice within 6 years and he beat it but it damaged his kidneys. I’m trying so hard with prayer and the good Lord with me to get better so that I can try to help my husband. I guess I’m just wondering how long will it be before I feel like I did before I got this? I’m sorry this is so long. Please forgive me. I’m just an old fashioned Carolina grandma trying to feel better. Losing my 25 yr old son 8 yrs ago near Mother’s Day shook me to my core! Not long after that I started to wither away and then Bam!! I found this out! Praise God for the resources for the low income like myself because otherwise, my outlook would be bleak. Much love to you both and you are both beautiful souls that I’m so blessed to have found. May God always bless you with whatever you need and want in life my sister and brother ❤️🙏🏻🙌🏼♥️ We’re all His children and He’s ALWAYS SO GOOD to us! Being able to live another day is a blessing.
Whoop whoop to a fellow Carolinian and Glad we could help someone out. And when I had hep c it was a death certificate to me. And an excuse to no longer have barriers on my drug usage. Why care when you’re slated to die in a decade? But I’m thankful for my beautiful wife! She talked me into checking out the free clinic in Columbia and I got sponsored when mavyret was still in clinical trials. I was a good candidate due to having genotype 3 and still having very healthy organs, surely a miracle considering my rampant drug use. I still question how I got so lucky every day to find a woman like her! Be blessed and good luck with the cure!
She's sweet!
She's my Soulmate! I couldn't live without her :)
@@LightThaDark
I can see that! God bless you both.
My sister started Mavyret a coue days ago, she is having nausea and headache.. any suggestions?
I appreciate you both!
Just make herself eat as much as she can. Milk helped me
@@LightThaDark
Thank you! She's a stubborn gal... But I'll try. ☺️
I'm sure she will recover just fine. It works pretty fast for most people. Stay tuned in we got a lot of good content otw, new music etc. Thanks again
Just started today on this med. It took 2 months of appointments to finally get meds!! I'm not a drug addict and my partner of 12 years doesn't have it. The only thing I can think of is that I got it from the nail salon. Worried about side effects because I work overnight 12 hour shifts.
You’ll be fine….hep c can sometimes(in rare circumstances) be transmitted sexually. It’s rare but it happens. You can also get hep c from fecal matter because it contains blood…so a lot of plumbers have it and don’t know it. You can get it from tattoo needles too. If both partners are bleeding or the male partner ejaculates blood traces which happens to ALL men sometimes, you can get it through sex. Just food for thought.
Side affects of Mavyret are minimal for most people including myself so hopefully you have that experience. Good luck and stay tuned in! -Light Tha Dark
@@LightThaDark Thank you!!
@AG Taylor Anytime Fam! Stay tuned in, we put out a lot of content…mostly music and couples stuff but I’m planning a post hepatitis and drug addiction series as well because these mavyret videos seem to have actually helped a lot of people. I made those videos because when I got my treatment I had already accepted my pending death. I had given up on getting treatment due to the price. How many others think they can’t afford it and accept death?
And so I decided to spread the word to everyone…especially those with little or no income like me which is a majority of the people with it.
