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.

Hi all, I'm starting my 11th week on Viekira Pak and Ribaviron. As you can see by my signature line, my kidneys are involved. The other day, I had a urinalysis which showed my protein level to be 2+.

Hi all, My uncle has a chronic Hepatitis C. Today I drank water from the glass that he uses. I have done it before, and I was never worried. However, this time it's different: I got my teeth cleaned from the dentist yesterday and my gums were somewhat damaged (I got some blood coming out of them yesterday)...

Through the night I experienced nausea, insomnia, acid stomach, muscle discomfort. I will correct this today and pray the calm...

Hi. I have genotype 1. I had a vl of 247,000 and was a F1. I started an 8 week course of harvoni. At just 2 weeks I was undetectable. My alt went from 198 to 29. I am so grateful for this wonder drug. I have experienced extreme fatigue while on treatment. I was wondering is this normal? And when treatment is ove...
I am on my 39th day of 12 week Harvoni & my doctor did not request blood work even after calling before the first 4 weeks. The pharmacy told me that some insurance companies were refusing to pay the remainder of scripts if your blood work came back clear. Now I understand why my doctor wants to wait 3 m...
