Great News! Undetectable at 4 weeks on Harvoni and...
« on: January 26, 2015, 08:53:14 pm »
After 4 weeks on Harvoni my doc said I was undetectable!!
 + since  I have cirrhosis one (either ALT or AST forgot which one ) is back to NORMAL!! and the other dropped a lot and it is almost normal...

side effects on Harvoni ZERO, I only had headache for a couple of days which I got rid of drinking plenty how water through the day with fresh lemon juice squeezed in there. Ever since I started drinking water, the headaches have not come back...so just a reminder to all, if you have headaches try drinking a LOT of water throughout the day...

I have done almost 3 months, 3 months to go!!! ;)

Congratulations Harvonitoo. Great news!  Glad to hear minimal side effects. What few side events I have, I just chock up to my body telling me to drink more water. I am taking Ribavirin and my skin is dry. Applying lotion and a lot of water to drink is doing the trick for me.

Great job reaching the half way mark.

Best wishes,
