Harvoni & Fibromyalgia
« on: February 23, 2015, 04:22:18 pm »
So i have rheumatoid arthritis (dx in 1975), HCV diagnosis non-A, non-B (dx1982), then HCV. Dx with fibromyalgia in 2013.  Just started Harvoni on the 20th (Friday night).  Until now, just a headache yesterday...no biggie though since I'm used to 24/7 joint pain. Last night my fibromyalgia made a nasty return for the first time in almost a year.  Anyone else experienced this? I'm on 20mg of Flexeril nightly and it has worked like a charm!

Many thanks1

My fibromyalgia/arthritis symptoms disappeared around week 5-8 of Harvoni.  I am crossing my fingers that this is the final story on my pain and suffering.   I believe my hcv caused my fibro, but this might not be the case for everyone out there.   Give the Harvoni some time to work.  Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the reply Love.  Do you have rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis...just curious.  I'm so happy for you regarding your pain disappearing. That is fantastic.  Thanks for the well wishes  :-*

I had a positive Rheumatoid factor but was not diagnosed with rheumatoid.   I just had joint pain that migrated.  I have had osteo diagnosed in my feet, but they are not hurting either.  I am 55 so I am surprised something is not hurting!
