How am I supposed to feel?
(Preview)
Completed S/O 3 weeks ago. Some days I feel tired and i get a little shaky if I don't eat every few hours. I feel the same if not worse some days than before I started treatment. Could it be the virus coming back? How am I supposed to be feeling?

I went to the dentist today and they have me fill out that disclosure form. You know the one where you're to list each and every disease you've had since birth. I don't know why this annoys me so much; maybe it has something to do with privacy concerns. I mean the dentist doesn't have to disclose to me the di...

How long after finishing Olysio could you go out in the sun?
(Preview)
The pharmacist at Accredo advised me to avoid the sun for at least 3 weeks after ending treatment with Olysio. I'm doing this, but wonder what people on this forum have experienced as far as being able to go out in the sun freely again.

My first day post treatment - Sol/Oly
(Preview)
Took my last 2 pills yesterday. After that I threw out everything related to treatment...pill bottles, inserts, everything. I'm not sure why - I guess I just want to feel healthy again and I don't want any reminders. I was UD as of ~2 weeks ago and will test again Friday. Next stop SVR, I hope! :)
