STARTED HARVONI ON 4/20/15
« on: April 22, 2015, 02:14:10 pm »
Hi everyone! I have been reading your forum for a few weeks while waiting to start on Harvoni, and I am so encouraged by all that you have said! Thank you so much for this! I learned about a year and a half ago that I have Hepatitis C, and in looking back over life events, I realize I must have gotten it when I was around 18, which is 40 years ago now. Thank god it doesn't seem to have damaged me much, which I attribute to a very healthy diet and lifestyle, but it is still in there working away, and as I begin, I have a viral load of 6.6 million. I have taken two pills so far, and haven't noticed any side effects, but I will let you know if I do. Thanks again for this forum, and good luck to all of you!

Viral load prior to treatment: 6.6 million

Four week viral load: <20 too low to quantify
