Improved Sleep on Harvoni
« on: January 20, 2015, 11:55:30 am »
Hi,

I've been sleeping better the last several nights and I think I can thank Harvoni for that. I have pleasant dreams too but can't seem to remember just what they were about. But I wake up rested. My sleep has been up and down for years and lately I've seen other therapies improve it, but it still seems to fluctuate.

In Sept 2012 I flew from Charlotte NC to the SF Bay area to get 4 sessions of Biomagnetic Pair therapy on 4 different days.  They said it would eradicate my HCV, and it may have if I had got more sessions. One BMP healer told me I'd need to get 1 session per week for up to several weeks. The lady in SF did 4, one on each of 4 days. I could not afford to fly back there once a week for several weeks or drive 12 hours a day every week to N VA to see one up there.

It cost me $2500 and all I got out of it were that I slept like a baby for a few weeks, but that faded away and my sleep issues came back, probably as my HCV VL came back. I do think it probably knocked back my VL a lot, and for all I know, more sessions would have cured me but like I said, it was impossible because BMP healers are not plentiful in the USA yet. If one of them was in my town, I may have been able to cure myself with weekly sessions.

Last Summer I bought a Biomagnetism kit for $155

and that too was said to eradicate HCV bu using magnets placed on the body in certain places and by taking Megadose Vit C but that didn't seem to do much at all  for me. I even tested last Oct to have the highest VL ever at 5.4 million, and that's when I decided to go on Harvoni if I could.

But anyway, the point of my post is that HCV seems to affect sleep.
I'm hoping my improved sleep is due to a disappearing HCV VL.

Hi Lukey, I'm starting the harvoni tomorrow morning.  Are you taking your meds at night or in the morning?

Hi,

I take Harvoni mid day, around Noon to 1 PM. Seems to work out OK for me.

Best wishes on that. Let us know how you do.

It varies from one person to the next. My side effects only last 3 or 4 days.
Make sure to drink at least 2 liters of water a day.
