Well I just downed the LAST of my Harvoni happy pills. It's almost hard to believe that after 12 years of waiting for a treatment I could tolerate and complete that I'm done & it wasn't all that bad! Unfortunately, this moment is rather bittersweet. My sister died of lung cancer the end of March and...

Hi all, I was curious if anyone else is experiencing weight gain on some of the newer treatments (e.g., Harvoni, Viekira Pak). I've been more hungry than usual, and eating like a champ (without the exercise component). Is that just me? I know people weighed in on cravings in the "Controlling Cra...

Hello all. After 10 days of flu-like feelings plus some headaches, today I am nauseous. Going to request an anti-nausea drug from doctor as I must go to work the rest of the week....Anyone else?

hill418 · hill418

Hi all. So I started last Wednesday and take my pill at 6:30. After 15 minutes later or so, I begin to feel fluish which is usually accompanied by a headache. I'm okay with that. For a few months I can be a home body as long as I can work. I'm a teacher and need to feel reasonably good during the day and this h...

Does anyone know what the income cut off is for financial help from Abbevie? My insurance was dropped (long story) at the middle of my second week.

Hi all. It seems that most people are genotype 1 or 1a or 1b. I am inconclusive at 1 or 4. Is there anyone else either inconclusive or genotype 4? Wondering if the results differ. Thanks.

Yes! I am just dancin' to hear of my "undetectable" at 13 and a half days- first blood work for Vikera-pac. It was the quickest I ever knew of. Maybe we should sell the train and buy a drag strip! LOL. Thanks for the kind remarks. ON TO SVR!

Hi Wednesday marks 5 weeks of 24 weeks on Sovaldi/Ribaviran. My doctor said that it was very unlikely that I would experience any side effects at all. Boy was he wrong.
