Have not been able to find anyone taking Solvadi and Daclatasvir combo on the forum but my question is more towards the Solvadi side effects I think. The last 4 mornings about an hour after I take my pills (which include the 2 pills for HepC treatment and, right now, 15mg of Prednisone (down from 20mg las...

So it appears there are going to be delays, denials, and problems in Harvoni approvals. Having already been denied an approval after relapsing on S/O I understand the frustrations folks are having to deal with. I thought this thread might be a good place to discuss things we could do to give supp...

I just gave myself an interferon injection. A week from today will be my last injection and the end of treatment. At 6 weeks or so my viral load was tested and it was zero.

Hi guys, I had my cardiologist to order a liver panel and everything came back within normal range except my ALT. The range for ALT at this lab is 13 - 69 and my ALT was flagged as low: ALT: 8 I'm not sure how to interpret that. My AST was 23 (that's because I'm taking Ativan--I hope) Anybody have any idea why i...
