I am hitting the Blues gems over the next few days as we wait for the circus to get here. Any friends of this forum give me a shout . I will post where we are going starting tomorrow. This continued the next4-5days.we hear many of the legendary. Players are in town.
AcariaHealth was correct in what they were charging me. Whether I have it or not, they had the dollar amt. right for what they need to refill my 2nd tx. My Blue Shield covers my part A and B on my Medicare, not D, which is the prescription part. My Dr. in his paperwork for me to be approved, put that I was ca...
The Dr. prescribed Harvoni back in October and it took this long to get approved through BBSFL. I was afraid they wouldn't approve it. Once approved I was afraid of the cost. I was thinking it would cost me thousands of dollars and it turned out to be a 5.00 Copay 15.00 for the whole treatment. They first d...
Hi all,EOT was Feb 2013, so just had another 6 monthly labs and Ultrasound followup. Bloods all normal (ALT-31, Platelets 290k).Very happy to see my liver is smaller, no HCC, and spleen is also smaller. The echopattern is completely normal, so I'm taking that as continued resolution of fibrosis.Th...

I have not posted on here for some time although I come on to hear all the great results you are all having. It seems a long time since I started on my Abbvie Turquois clinical trial and there were some interesting times with that Ribavirin but that is all in the past now and things are looking up. I ran into s...
I read this in my local newspaper the other day. I fear this may be the new trend of insurance companies, and the fact USC told me last year they were only treating 3rd and 4th stage patient's is now making sense to my medical insurance mind. I have crap insurance so they won't accept me in the treatment pr...
Hi, husband put his shoes on with a different authority this am. Ask me not to make calls just yet, he would call after lunch. He called and he's bringing home the bacon. That will take the dead fish off the table for us until next month, which we will be prepared for the ultimatum, whether it comes or not....
Hi all, somewhat stressed here. Has anyone had this happen to them in dealing with Gilead? Gilead called me this afternoon and wanted to know if they could get my second months worth in order for shipping; I said a big "YES". I am currently on my 3rd day of my 3rd wk. of treatment. My origin...
Well here it is 6 months after treatment and still not detected! I want to say thank you to Gilead for the drugs to take care of this and the people here for all their support, I never thought this day would come! A new life HEP C FREE!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm wondering if Harvoni leaves the immune system in some disarray, allowing viruses such as those for sties and canker sores to take hold. I haven't had these kinds of issues in many decades (or during treatment) and now I seem susceptible. I'm eating and sleeping well, not under stress, so I just...
Hello all, I'm so excited to be able to say my 48 weeks is over! If I could muster a cartwheel without injury I would! My EOT results are nothing less than fabulous... UNDETECTED. ALT 15, HB 73, platelets 62, albumin 35 Even with the possibility of relapse, I feel so lucky that I was given this opportunity...
I'm still not detected after 4 wks EOT!! This is one of the milestones so I was very apprehensive and now relieved. Having problems with very painful swelling in left foot and ankle; going to doctor later today. Also having tingling and numbness in both hands. Recently discovered cluster of nodul...
hi all, My doctor has prescribed Harvoni, my insurance just called and informed me they will not allow Harvoni, but instead will recommend that my doctor prescribes Viekira. I've read a lot about Harvoni and was pretty excited with its results during testing. I tried triple therapy a few years ag...
Hi guys. I'm kinda new to this great group and have up to this point received some great feedback regarding harvoni treatment related fatigue. I have 9 more days to go of treatment and was wondering if anyone has had any trouble with focusing. For a while even before treatment I feel like it's hard to foc...
I just had my 8 week EOT bloods done excluding viral load test. All are normal except my platelets which are 139( at 4 weeks EOT they were 151) the range is 140-440 and my GGT is at 12 range 15-30. Would this be the cause of my tiredness that seems to hit me every afternoon or am I just still detoxing from 24 wee...
I got results from my one year SVR tests this afternoon. My enzymes were 18 and 24. My Fibrotest was .62 which is between Stage 2 and Stage 3. I started my trial with cirrhosis--I think around .75. Soooo my liver IS healing. It has been 21 months since my first UND, so I have almost two years since Hep...
I am now on day 14 of my Harvoni treatment, in the last few months, I have been racking my brain trying to pinpoint an approximate time line & possible cause of my infection. I will be 60 yrs. old on my next birthday, and like many of us here, I used and shared needles with others. My Doctor said that...
HAS ANYBODY EXPERIENCED ANY SIDE EFFECTS ONCE THEY FINISHED HARVONI - I JUST FINISHED 2 WEEKS AGO A 24 WEEK TREATMENT. FEELING SOME TIREDNESS AND JOINT PAIN
Hi all, just got my 8-week labs back from 6/8/15 (apologies for formatting, on mobile). Still undetected! Still feeling a little tired and dealing with various muscle aches, but nothing too tough to handle. I'd welcome any input as to how things are looking. A little over 1/3 complete... CBC W...
I will be finished with 24 weeks of Harvoni in 20 days. Taking Harvoni only, no other drugs. Obviously concerned about the length of time needed to clear the effects of the drug and recover from any discontinuance issues. I have been working out regularly, averaged 4.5 days a week, during treatment in...
Two weeks ago, I asked the question below. You can also see the answers I received to my question. But since I am considered the ("ignorant"general public that may understand the whole SVR/cure debate ) I was wondering if anyone could explain it to me in layman terms ?I still do not unders...
The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has now approved Viekirax (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) and Exviera (dasabuvir) for use within NHS Scotland. Viekirax has been approved for use in combination with Exviera, with or without ribavirin, for the treatment of genotype 1 chronic he...
After giving me written instructions with my 1st bottle of Harvoni not to remove from original container...the pharmacy removed the pills from the bottle and put them into a another pill box. The PDF states... 16: HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING HARVONI tablets are orange, diamond-shaped, fil...
