2morow i get olysio/solvaldi meds 1a
« on: July 22, 2014, 03:59:38 pm »
Hi everyone
I found out I had hep c 1a 20 years ago. I was a single mom of a 5 year old and after biopsy with zero liver damage Dr said to wait for treatment..now my son in college and I'm ready. Ultra sound shows very little damage. I'm scheduled to receive my meds tomorrow. I am currently taking mirtzaphine anti depressant and Prozac only for duration of PMS.I am 41, 150lbs, can anyone please give me any tips or preparation tips please. Thank you

Oh my goodness, you are going for it! Good for you. I have a jillion suggestions and have written 2 books on the subject (you can read a lot for free on Amazon). Here are two for now:
1) Keep posting here - lots of great support, ideas, and info
2) Check all your drugs, supplements, and OTC meds for possible interactions: http://www.hep-druginteractions.org/

If you are like me, there may be a bit of fear and giddiness. This is normal. May you breeze through to a cure.

One more thing:  Take the sun exposures very seriously - stay out of the sun completely if you can. http://blogs.hepmag.com/lucindakporter/2014/06/hepatitis_c_treatmen_1.html

Yer gonna love it.  I'm on my 9th week, and have had no side effects except to feel better and better.  Go for it and watch out for the extra energy.  As mentioned take the sun sensitivity serious, but for me it meant only making sure I applied the 50 spn sun screen they gave me.

But I don't see olysio or solvaldi as of the drugs to check drug interactions?
