I am getting ready to start Harvoni and I'm looking for any info on if it matters when you take it. You might take something at bedtime to sleep thru most...

Howdy, ho. Just started treatment, not sure of all my numbers or which ones matter, but I'm Genotype 2B, probably got infected in 1977 after a homemade tattoo at age 17 (got sick, doc thought I had hepatitis but tested negative...was told later they didn't have a test for 'C' then). Was diagnosed aroun...

Hi there friends, I'm EOT +2 weeks and just found out that I am UNDETECTED!!!! And all other liver tests are within the normal range.

So got some results and ALT is 28 & AST 37. Does this still indicate cirrhosis with the AST being higher??? Plus my AF...
I've had 2 herpes outbreaks in my first 3 weeks of treatment. Yikes! Painful and exhausting. Off treatment I get maybe 2 outbreaks a year. If I take lysine with echinacea (Super L-Lysine) it clears up fast. But echinacea is not good to take while on treatment. Anybody got any ideas for me? P.S. Years ago...
Hi I am on my 5th week of Harvoni. I had subtle leg cramps during the past couple weeks but tolerable. I never had one before so I was okay but assumed it was from treatment. Well that has changed. It moved to my left foot. The ball underneath into my toes. It is a drop me off my feet screaming pain. Ove...

Nothing more really but I just wanted to post that today is the anniversary of swallowing my first Harvoni Pill. I do recall that day as if it was yesterday. One year later, a few nervous scares and incidents and still UND as of Dec and I am quite sure now as well. I owe so much to the people on this forum and t...
I'm preparing, much to my chagrin, to start treatment. My liver and enzymes are great (and have always been since my diagnosis 15 years ago), but my new GI suggested treatment. Apparently great enzymes does not mean my liver is not affected. My viral loads have always been around 25M. I can't even tell...
Greeting, I'm a newbie to this forum. I have genotype 1a and have relapsed twice. My new treatment is 24 weeks of Sovaldi, Olysio, and Ribavirin. I'm on week five with a laundry list of side effects.
