Speaking about labs.
I had mine drawn last month including a PCR.
My LFT's were slightly elevated by 20-30 points above norm.
My PCR VL is the same as it was back in 98 and has not increased or
decreased.
I was thinking along the same lines as you are, it has gone dormant
again.
So no treatment for me either. especially at my age.

Merry Christmas to you too. While we have no snow on the ground, there
is plenty up in the mountains and since the dust has settled, there is a
panoramic view of the Sierras loaded with snow from most vantage points.
Last week they were expecting snow down to the 5,000 foot level but it
looks like it fell below 5,000'.
It has been cold here in the AM, no ice on the troughs yet, but it is
getting there. The lowest overnight temp has been 28º.
Hope that Santa brings you everything your hearts desires.
