I would think this would be the case. Still, there seem to be a lot of differences in personal response to riba. So many variables. It would be nice if more categorical statements made by physicians/clinicians re: sx applied across the board, but really they're just a general guideline. I went into treatment in decent shape, took care of myself as best I could through the whole process, but 16 weeks of riba whacked me pretty good. One just never really knows until there's some practical experience.

Solvaldi is remarkable, I bet you get well but riba is a hard ride, did it for a year but with interferon not solvali in 2004 wish I could have had solvaldi instead. Good good luck!


 Hi Amelia,

I'm wondering if your riba Sx might have been more pronounced due to the interferon. At least that was what my Dr said when he was suggesting I take riba along with my Oly/Sov combo. He said less people have trouble with riba who are on non interferon Tx. I know for myself the riba issues have been very minor.
