Welcome to the forum and welcome to kicking that dragon's butt.

The most important things you can do is : take pill at same time every day, and drink water, then drink more water.

your allergies might improve after your treatment because your liver will function.

When my kids had trouble swallowing a pill I would put it in a spoonful of honey.

Or you could eat yogurt and swallow a few spoonfuls then pop the pill in and another bite of yogurt...

A few people found taking the pill at night helped them avoid/sleep through headache, but you must do what suits your routine, and if you want to take yours in the morning, drinking lots of water really helps avoid side effects.

bless,

A

Whew.......it's been a bunch of nerves to brave this .....but, I'm gonna go 4 the Harvoni & slay this dragon! This isn't the easiest task for me....cause I have a pill/med phobia from past allergic issues  blehdisbelief....But I'm sick of packing this disease around. It's Lent, time to dump the negative eh!

Anyhow, I hope to find support here, as I'm pretty much alone doing this....I'm glad there's a place to hang. Thanks! If anyone has some Ideas for me to stay safe in the treatment ...just holler! smile   well, guess I'd better get some zzzzz tomorrow is going to be here, & pop that pill....

Nameste' & to your health!

Ktsma
