Title: Started Harvoni
Post by: kingharry on May 24, 2015, 12:46:52 pm
Day 4 of 12 week regimen. No side effects, yet.

Genotype 1, infected in 1983. No previous treatments. No liver biopsies as I am a hemophiliac. Liver at stage 1 (as shown on ultrasound).

Welcome to the journey kingharry! Good luck on treatment. You will, in all likelihood be cured by the end of it. Keep us posted. I am on Day 20 of 12 weeks of Harvoni+Ribavirin, and no significant side effects - unless feeling better can be counted as a side effect. ;)

Welcome King....ya, it's quite the journey. If you've read the various threads here you'll see that the experience of Harvoni is almost as varied as each one of us...I hope you have a smooth course.....I finished a 12 regimen 5 weeks ago and my 4 week post EOT is Undetectable.............I was quite sick during treatment but it's all so worth it...

@Kim  I'm so happy for you that your doing well on the H/Riba...you got this!

Thanks Meg! I realize I may have some fatigue & tiredness ahead of me because of the anemia with ribavirin. But I am feeling very thankful that the other Harvoni/Riba sides that seem to be affecting some people so severely have not presented themselves in my first 3 weeks. Just 9 more weeks to go! Quite the journey and really nice to be on it with a community of people who understand how much it means. :)
