Hi,, The best Advice I can give you is to watch your sugar intake. Especially now at the beginning.   These drugs and the virus itself can make your sugar spike, I don't mean to scare you and this is a vary complicated subject but there is something called Insulin resistance that they don't tell you about because nobody has proof that this person will have this problem and this person won't.  If you are over weight this goes double/

Hi Nicole, I know some treatment drugs can interfere with a woman`s menstrual cycle and I do remember another member reporting that she had some unexpected light bleeding when she was on peg/rib based tx.  I think what you`re seeing could be due to tx especially as you only started so recently, although I would definitely mention it to your doctor or nurse, and especially if it continues.

Let us know your lab results when you get them, and best of luck!

Hi Nicole,

Taz is right, you're going to witness some bizarre changes during the next several weeks! Have you received any blood test results, like a CBC, since you started Tx? I believe you're going to see a reduction in your bilirubin and that's why your Poo is so lightly colored. Nothing to worry about, it's the Sovaldi working it's magic! I can't answer the cause for your spotting, perhaps another one of the women here can reply. I didn't see it listed as a side effect but I'm sure these treatments will impact every bodily function in one way or another. Be sure to note it in your log so you can bring it to your doctor's attention next visit.

I started Sol rib and inter about 2 weeks ago. Now I've been having spotting when I just got over my period like a week ago and my bowel movements are super light colored.  Is that normal?  Ha weird ass questions
