Well done, Butterflies, good to hear you`ve started your Harvoni! 

Not everyone notices any side effects so you might be lucky.  And even if you do have any they`re likely to be quite manageable, I`m sure.  Make sure you drink enough water to keep well hydrated and try to eat a good nutritious diet, it all helps.

There`s a wonderful symmetry in this date being your 17th anniversary of being sober, and now you`re on your journey to a new level of health and SVR!

All the best of luck to you, keep us updated on your progress!

Hi Kris,

Congratulations on getting started! Sounds like today is a very special day for you. I think it's a superb anniversary, both as a 17 year celebration of sobriety and the beginning of your upcoming Hep C free future! You've got everything going for you and a lot of great living ahead! Good luck and please keep us informed of your progress

WOOT is right!!!!

Hi everyone,

I took my first dose of Harvoni today at 9 am, no side effects noticed today, but I am sure I will.  Kind of ironic that I started treatment on my clean and sober anniversary date (17 years alcohol and drug free today).  Woot Woot.

Will keep you guys posted. : )
