I am vain and I haven't noticed anything different in regards to appearance.  I am more fatigued but who isn't this time of year!  No one noticed anything at work different about me.

Thank you for the responses.  The reason for my question was that I was curious if the people I work with were going to know I was on medication.  I would just as soon quietly get cured and move on.  

I've been waiting 35 years for a cure.  It will be nice to stop worrying about the virus finally and move on with my life.

Have a great holiday everyone.

Lon

No, none of those for me.  I think my skin looks better and I feel fine.

Hi,

Yes, I'm vain.  I admit it.  Not proud of it, but I admit it.

I'm hoping to start Harvoni next month.   Can anyone who is currently on it, tell me if it makes you look sickly while you're taking it?  By sickly I mean, pale, circles under your eyes, splotchy skin, blood shot eyes, weird skin blisters, hair loss, or unsightly skin conditions as a result of the medications.

Thanks,

Lon
