Hi Julie,
Welcome and congrats on starting treatment. I took Harvoni in the morning with my breakfast. The side effects for me were not bad and tapered off after the first few weeks. Water is your best friend. You need to stay hydrated to combat the side effects and feel your best. I did not miss any work and kept going to the gym while on treatment. Everyone is different. Listen to your body. Eat healthy as best you can, try to avoid fatty, processed foods. Use this forum, ask questions. I bet the 8 weeks fly by.
here for you!

Hi Julie,
Just wanted to welcome you here, but I see your other post started over in "About to Start Harvoni", where you and others have been posting also, so I will just reply to you over there for now. Glad to see you here. C.

Hi Everybody: My name is Julie, I am 54 yrs. of age, lol. And today I will be starting my first attempt at treating my hep c with eight weeks of harvoni. As I said, I am so scared of the side effects because I am already sick physically due to my hep c. Genotype one, which one of the genotype one's I am not sure as there are more than one of them to my understanding. Any advice for diet, taking the harvoni would greatly be appreciated. should I eat first, omg I am really nervous about this.
