My short-term memory was not great before Harvoni tx , and may be a bit worse after. I have the same concerns. It may be a consequence of fatigue and sleep issues for me.

Hi Mary,

We have discussed the increase in brain fog recently. I don't know if it's a medication induced sfx, one of the extra hepatic manifestations from the virus or age related, but it's real for many of us. 

We started a new thread to discuss the different problems and lingering effects from the Sovaldi protocols. So far, some are having more than one, while others feel great. Matt is working on gathering data to try and find the number of different incidents occurring. Please add your experiences and it will help us put together that information.

I'm SVR, 16 months past EOT on Sovaldi/Olysio.  My short term memory is horrible. It was bad immediately following treatment, then seemed to get a little better.  The past 2 months have been awful..... What are other people experiencing?  Sometimes lately I worry that this may be the onset of Alzheimers.  Will talk with my hepatologist at my regular appointment in January, but in the meantime just wondered if anyone else experiencing this, this long after treatment-
