Harvoni - Sudden jaundice!
« on: July 29, 2015, 06:01:34 pm »
Hi! I've been on Harvoni and Ribavirin for 1 week now. I'm on day 8 and have noticed yesterday that maybe my eyes are a little more yellow than normal...

My bilirubin was within normal range at TX start by the way.

Today I took a good look, like, 15 minutes ago. They are yellow. Definitelly yellow, almost touching the iris yellow. On a scale from 1 to 10 on jaundice, I would say 5. Moderate. Something like this being a 6 in my mind: http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/65692000/jpg/_65692984_alcoholic_jaundice-spl-1.jpg

So the question is... what the hell?
