Anyone else having liver discomfort during treatment?
« on: May 11, 2015, 01:11:23 pm »
Currently 5 weeks into 8 weeks of Harvoni.  Pre-treatment liver status F1, viral load less than 1 mil.  No other apparent side effects of treatment... no tiredness or headaches, sleeping well, exercising regularly.  Most Hep C symptoms disappeared in the first 2 weeks of treatment.  My question is about the sensation I have been having in my right side.  It's different then the pre-treatment discomfort I had.  It's more of an occasional prickly sensation or sometimes a pulling feeling.  I don't believe it is muscular.  I don't notice it when I'm being active or sleeping.  Mostly just when I'm sitting or in the car.  It seems to float around - sometimes in my back, sometimes in my front ribs, sometimes lower and down toward my hip.  Not sure if it could be a result of my liver getting back to normal or possibly a side of the med.  I'm curious if others are having the same experience.  Went for first blood work up today so I don't know current viral load yet. Thanks for any input.

Yes. I am "aware" of my liver most of the time. It's like I can feel the organ. And, it's a feeling I associate with drinking too much, so it make me think that something is wrong. I feel a little burning and an occasional stabbing pain. Like I said, to me it feels like something isn't right. I reported it to the nurses and they said it's normal. The drugs are working!
