Hi Harvoninme,

I was going to take the survey but the choice I would make wasn't listed. It would be:

No, not yet and I want to treat as soon as possible with a non riba/non interferon, high success rate, oral treatment - - like Harvoni smile

After tomorrow I hope I can come back and check off - I am currently in treatment  biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Best of luck with your treatment!

I realized the poll may have been out of the ordinary after a day went by and almost nixxed it. I thought, maybe they think I'm some sort of data collector for a Pharma, lol.   But there it was... and I'd already posted it... and I am genuinely interested to know where folks are coming from in this situation. 

:)  thanks

Hello Harvoninme, so sorry your post was overlooked!

The poll option isn`t used very often so I expect people weren`t too sure how to reply.  You`re perfectly welcome to use it, of course, it`s there for any member to set up. 

Anyway, belated welcome to the forum!  Thanks for introducing yourself and congrats on starting your Harvoni treatment. You`ve already had a very significant drop in your viral load in a short space of time so it`s looking very promising for you to have a Happy Christmas celebration!

I wish you the best of luck, and do keep us updated on your progress!  ~ Jill

I started Harvoni on Halloween and will take my last pill on Christmas Day, so I'm almost half-way through treatment.

I'm 1a, TX naive.

I had my first blood test at 2 weeks. My VL dropped from 315k to 30. I have been having some mild side effects, but my liver tests were good. I'll go in for more tests next week.

Glad to have found some folks who are also undergoing TX right now. I look forward to comparing notes and celebrating our victories over this darn bug.

 

I'm adding a poll ...  please share your story, if you'd like. Thanks!
