 Hello Kris and welcome from me also. If you are like I was when I first joined then you may not identify with some of the abbreviations used in the members post as well as in the signatures you see at the bottom of their post. If you like, you can create your own unique signature so others can view it and respond according to your specific criteria. More information on that can be found HERE. There is a link on that page also that will take you to a thread that list the meaning of the abbreviations. Or you can click HERE.

 In my case, getting my questions answered by my doctors office was almost non-existent but I found all my answers freely given right here on this forum. For that I am grateful. I hope you'll stick around and find the same. smile

Hi Butterflies!  Welcome to the forum.  Today is my half way mark towards finishing 12 weeks of Harvoni.  The only side effect I've encountered was a headache and it happened when I didn't drink enough water.  I feel good, real good!  Your going to find it easy going, I'm sure!

I just got approved for Harvoni and will get first shipment of the medication on Friday.  I have been reading the posts and appreciate the information, especially about the side effects.  I got diagnosed about 2 years ago but could have had it much longer.  I will be checking in and posting my progress.  My viral load was pretty low my last blood work and I have to see my doctor two weeks after I start treatment.  God bless everyone.
