I will be taking my last Harvoni in about a hour. That will complete 12 weeks tx I was undetected after 4 weeks and I am hoping for the best.

Mikee,

Hoping right along side you that you are SVR at your next test. That's all any of us can do really. Just know if you don't get it this time you will next and your liver has had a long 2 month rest!

I am singing "Last Pill" to the tune of Donna Summer's "Last Dance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOpUfTi1keI

Hope you will be dancing to good news in 12 weeks.

Congrats Mikee!

Congratulations Mikee!

Will you please let us know how you feel in the next couple weeks coming off of the drug? There are so few finished with treatment from Harvoni and I would really love to see if there are any side effects popping up post tx.

Good luck and praying for your SVR 12!

Mikee · « **Reply #10 on:** February 12, 2015, 06:36:37 pm »

Thank you Nicole ! For sure I will.

Islandgirl · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2015, 08:15:54 pm »

Fantastic, Mikee! Looking forward to getting updates on how you're feeling as the days progress toward your lab work and sending positive thoughts and prayers that you'll be posting SVR12 before we know it!

Lucinda, now I'll be singing "last pill" all the way to the 25th of this month, since I now have that song in my head too! ....Islandgirl

Mikee · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2015, 12:34:03 pm »

Have to say im feeling pretty good ! Don't have all my test results yet but ALT 26 AST 18.

Islandgirl · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2015, 06:29:15 pm »

Great to hear! I just counted my pills again to make sure I'm correct... 9 to go and the 10th pill on the 25th I'll be singing "Last Pill" too! Can't get that song out of my head

I've bumped up my water intake and it's really helped with my severe leg cramps at night - I realized I'd been slipping on my water intake - I'm hoping my bouts of depression and impatience will be improving soon and, man, am I ever ready for a boost in energy! Looking forward to your next report! Fingers crossed

tweesa · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2015, 11:30:25 pm »

I took my last pill yesterday. Does snyone know when I'll start feeling better. From the Fatigue and headaches

Lynn K · « **Reply #22 on:** February 22, 2015, 11:50:59 pm »

Hi tweesa

Welcome to the forum.

A lot depends on what treatment you were on and for how long and most important how much damage your liver already had before you started treating.

Everyone has their own experience with treatment and post treatment. Many don't experience much in the way of sides on treatment although not all. Some may even feel better with more energy while treating.

So just as everyone has a different experience while on treatment, everyone will have a different post treatment experience as well.

I hope you feel better sooner than later and congratulations on completing treatment and hopefully eradicating hep c.

Good luck

Hi warriors
Hope this note finds everyone feeling better. Island girl it's almost last pill for you !! Go girl. excited.@Islandgirl

Joint pain seems to come and go now. Its weird, I get intermittent waves of a deep ache that I never had, ever. Exercise does help like stretching and walking. Of course water and tea. Wish a good night for all.... Blessings Sunrise

Islandgirl · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2015, 01:26:31 pm »

Thanks, Sunrise! I'm both excited and a bit nervous/anxious. Wednesday @ 6 PM, then the long wait

I'm still having intermittent joint pain and headaches too. Onward we go! Getting ready to sing the last pill song ...Islandgirl

tweesa · « **Reply #25 on:** February 24, 2015, 12:08:58 am »

Thank you Lynn K. I was on Harvoni. Just wish these hadaches and ringing in the hesd snd muscles aches go away soon.

nicole_1234 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 24, 2015, 12:25:02 am »

Island Girl, this is such a small thing but I started on Dec 3 as well and my last pill is Tues Feb 24. I even counted the days and it added up to 84. Just curious if my math is wrong or you got 85?

Mikee · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2015, 08:15:03 am »

84 pills is correct island girl.

Islandgirl · « **Reply #28 on:** February 24, 2015, 10:06:26 am »

Nicole & Mikee Sorry, you're aabsolutely correct. 84 pills is what I had and accidentally messed up what I had written on the calendar. Happy last day to us!!!!

....Islandgirl

So exciting...Sunrise

OO7GUY · « **Reply #32 on:** February 25, 2015, 09:23:28 am »

Congratulation!

Islandgirl · « **Reply #33 on:** February 25, 2015, 09:29:07 am »

Thanks everyone!

Talk about confusion though, TODAY is the real last day. I started on Dec 3, received a total of 3 bottles of 28 pills, and that totals 28 x 3 = 84. Either there was an extra pill in a bottle, which I really don't think is the case, or I somehow missed a day, which I really also don't think could have happened. Regardless, the last pill is at 6 PM when my phone alarm goes off this evening! Hard to believe I'm really here. Congrats to Katie and Nicole too! As Nicole said, "Cheers to our success and radiant health!

nicole_1234 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 26, 2015, 06:59:20 pm »

Wow, I am not bouncing back like I hoped I would. Feeling very lethargic and not myself today. Slowly starting all my supplements and vitamins back up. Acupuncture tomorrow. But today I feel like staying in bed.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is it my body detoxing from Harvoni I wonder? I was a bit anemic on the last 8 week bt I did.

sunrise · « **Reply #35 on:** February 26, 2015, 07:04:00 pm »

Hi Nicole
Congrads on finishing your tx. I took S / O for mine l, and I have been slowly detoxing from those strong *as drugs. My body has joint aches that it never had and get tired easy. Starting to feel better day by day. I walk every morning before work. When will you get your lab work back from EOT? Best wishes.... Sunrise

nicole_1234 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 26, 2015, 07:25:47 pm »

I'm going to get my blood drawn Friday and should have all results within a week.

Islandgirl · « **Reply #37 on:** February 28, 2015, 10:20:22 am »

Hi everyone,
Nicole, got my fingers crossed and am anxiously waiting to hear back on your blood work results! Sending tons of positive energy

Like you, I'm feeling not as good as I'd hoped by now - and a bit of depression crops up off and on when I really have nothing to be depressed about. Of course, it's a rainy gloomy day here today, on the other hand it's 55 degrees and I don't have snow... conversations with myself to remind me I have much to be thankful for. I haven't written much as I don't want to spread my depression around

My doc doesn't have my blood work scheduled until March 25 and an appointment with her to review on April 2 - I live in a small town and test results are done elsewhere for this type of testing. Final tests will be in September. I'm also having some additional tests run to see why or if I have "Petechiae or ecchymoses" since I've started getting little dots of blood under the skin on left forearm and the slightest scrape can break the skin. Sorry I'm not being as positive as I'd like to be, I'll working on that

Best wishes and hugs, ...Islandgirl

nicole_1234 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 28, 2015, 12:34:14 pm »

Hang in there Islandgirl! It's probably this waiting game that's making us a little down. We've done our job and now everything is out of our control. But as it stands now we have a 95% chance of this working and that's so much better than the 40% chance I had while on interferon eight years ago.

Hope the gloom lifts soon for you. I keep reminding myself "right now, I'm ok" and really anything else is just stuff in my head. But easier said than done.

Islandgirl · « **Reply #39 on:** February 28, 2015, 01:07:09 pm »

Thanks, Nicole - and yes, it's easier said than done.

Have a good weekend ...Islandgirl

Hi everyone
Hope today brings us to feel better. It is gloomy here as well, waiting for a storm. It is 55 also so no complaints. It is amazing how time is flying. I go in 2weeks for my 12week post test. I think we will beat.this disease, but unfortunately have to deal with.the.fallout of damage done. We are tough though, and we will push.thru like. the warriors we are. Hope you feel better islandgirl

, you are always so positive, i'm sorry you're having a not so great one. Blessings. Sunrise

Good Luck!!! Please keep us posted. I started treatment the first day of April. I'm 15 days in not feeling bad. I return to see Dr today. Hope all tests come out great on your end. I do have a question for you. How often did you change out toothbrushes during your treatment? Praying for you and all of us who have had to deal with this nasty crud.
