I had one today and I tried to sneak a look and thought it said 15.5 kPa Which I think is quite high and now I'm worried. I have read conflicting scores that indicate cirrhosis. 12.5, 14.7 and 17....

Post-Harvoni sties, canker sores etc.

I'm wondering if Harvoni leaves the immune system in some disarray, allowing viruses such as those for sties and canker sores to take hold. I haven't had these kinds of issues in many decades (or during treatment) and now I seem susceptible. I'm eating and sleeping well, not under stress, so I just...
