I am a Geno 3 and 2 and 3 have similar tx. Mine was for 24 weeks and i am two weeks past lat pill, This is a good site and will tell you a lot about what to expect. I can tell you if you work, this can affect your job, get on FMLA.
Welcome to the forum! We've got several people either on or finishing up your same course of treatment and have done very well. Headache is a common initial side effect of Sovaldi and Ribavirin itself can offer it's own unique set of side effects. Search the forum and you'll locate a lot of discussions and things you can use for comparison. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and if you want, put a little information in your signature area describing your genotype and type of treatment. It helps us when replying to or commenting on your posts. Good luck, I look forward to following your progress!

I was nervous of the Pegasus and the coPegasus as the side effects i saw in people i knew outweighed the treatment.

I am on my treatment now using Sovaldi 400 milligram and Ribasphere 200 milligrams (400 morning 400 evening) I will try to post daily with side effects and what is going on with this treatment hoping it will help someone else on their journey.
Today has been good, only a little bit of a headache when taking the ribasphere in the morning and at night today. Not painful just a little throbbing only for about 1/2 hr after each dose. Other than that just a runny nose today and thats it so far.
This is to be a 12 week treatment as my Dr has said, I will be going for blood work in 2 weeks and then a check-up in 2 months, so time will tell!
