Day 2.. Slept pretty well. If anything I'm bouncing off the walls, cleaning and what not. My wife said she's going to keep me on it 6 months. I really do seem to have more energy. Strange?

RC,

Welcome aboard the Harvoni train and no need to be afraid. You may have a side

effect or two or none. Don't go in expecting side effects and just take it day by day.

Harvoni is powerful on the inside but doesn't manifest itself too much on the outside.

Today I took pill #35 and have not had one single side effect, not one. Don't pysche

yourself out about this treatment at all and don't expect sides.

Rc, now I see your first post said,

I have been approved and begin 3 month treatment of Harvoni today.

 & then I asked if you were doing 12 weeks!  confuse

Can I blame that on Harvoni brain fog?

Hi Rc,

I started yesterday.  I am also a little scared; like stepping into the abyss and hoping that there is a net...

Yes I am doing 12 weeks. After first co-pay found out about the harvoni coupon that helps with that. So far all is beyond good!

Hi Rc, welcome!

You must be so pleased and excited to be getting started on your Harvoni treatment, although at the same time it`s natural to be a little anxious at the start of any course of treatment. 

I`m sure you`re in for a very pleasant surprise after your previous run in with the old interferon treatment.  Things have moved on tremendously since then as I`m sure you know, and many of our members are experiencing minimal or even no side effects at all from Harvoni.

Please feel free to jump onboard our Harvoni treatment train on this thread here, there`ll be a seat waiting for you...

Best of luck to you, let us know how it goes!

I have been approved and begin 3 month treatment of Harvoni today. I am geno type 1b and did the Interferon nightmare bout 15 years ago. Very eager to get into this and a little scared at the same time. So begins the journey......
