Well, here I go ... day 5 on Harvoni... it appears the men are not having any side effects... I wonder why that is??

After showing my doctor the slides of the Boston meeting and a little begging: I am on Harvoni and Rib for 24 weeks! they actually crossed out 12 and put 24 - yipeeee!

JLynch30 · JLynch30

Just checking in the situation - looks like Kaiser is sticking to their guns despite my begging. I have a prescription waiting for me.

Well another day has gone by and not a thing but a little nap at 4 today! I nodded out for about 20 minutes and woke up refreshed! All I can say is I hope this is all there is, I will keep a positive attitude about it too!

JLynch30 · JLynch30

Go in for blood tests today and then the doctor will order it. Anyone know how long it takes after bloodtests for doctor to call int eh prescription? They couldn't give me an exact time. Any cirrhotics getting 12 weeks or is it all 24?

Got my two week labs back and my Eosinophils were 6% (0-4 normal) and Basophils 3% (0-3 normal) were high. Is this an allergy? Also my bilirubin went from .05 to 1.0 which is the highest normal value. I can't find this on either Sovaldi or Olysio's prescribing info and I don't know what it means. I've bee...

I was reading elsewhere that changing to new tooth brushs and razors and even nail clippers might not be a bad Idea. I might just do it anyways. so I don't reinfect myself somehow. Any thoughts on this? Jen
