Hello again Judith,

I had trouble getting that link to post, so I'm glad you were able to get this established as I floundered, lol! I'm glad you're here and look forward to following your progress through your new journey. It's going to be easier than the Interferon protocol, I can assure you of that. The best initial advice I can give is to concentrate of adequate hydration. We have found that 3-4 liters of water per day will help keep the side effects at bay. The first two or three weeks will be the period you feel the most adjustment to the drugs. Our Harvoni members mention that after that period of time things start to level off and you'll know what the rest of the ride should be like. Of course, we'll all be here for you if you have any questions about anything. Stay in touch and we'll all be dancing together when your treatment is successfully completed! Good luck smile

PS: If you would like to set up some information in your signature line, you can find some instructions at this link. It helps us when replying to your posts and lets us know a bit more about your unique set of circumstances.
