Started tx a week ago sovaldi/olysio/riba and glad to see all the posts here of those on similar tx and those who are already cured.

Congrats and good luck to all smile

I am SO grateful for this new tx and looking optimistically forward to 4 week appt. with dr and improved labs.

So far the only side effect I've noticed is insomnia.  I've suffered with itching from cirrhosis and hopefully that will stop soon.

I qualified for PAP since I have no rx insurance and get sovaldi and olysio $0.  Riba went generic so no PAP - I pay $.60 per cap (so much for thinking generic is inexpensive) putting my total for riba at $250.  I'm worth it smile (Rx for tabs is $7.15 per tab -makes no sense.)

I have been turned down for trials for the past 3 years due to co-infection, cirrhosis, and low platelets.  I had my local gastro doc refuse to off label rx.  Last month a trial doc I first met 2 1/2 years ago reached out to me and offererd off label rx - I drove 9 hours to get it. 

Victory for us all!
