Hi Dickey,

I have three pills left for my twelve weeks on Harvoni. Haven't had any real side effects but I drink allot of just water. Close to a gallon a day all day long. I've read in the forum allot of other people mentioning drinking allot of water to. Maybe it's the reason of no side effects. Stay on it cause it works. I'm at zero viral now.

 

Good Luck

Hi Dickey,

I'm glad you found your way to our forum. We have many members on or recently finished treatment with Harvoni. Your mild sx are typical, and staying hydrated is paramount.

I would encourage you to explore the Harvoni "Treatment Train" if you haven't already: http://hepcfriends.activeboard.com/t58762824/all-aboard-for-the-harvoni-treatment-train-enjoy-the-ride-fo. You'll find many observations and questions answered from Harvoni experienced members.

Persistence is something you'll find in abundance with forum members. The payoff of slaying the dragon and ridding yourself of Hepatits C forever is well worth the effort.

Good luck and we look forward to your updates.

john

Hi everyone. My name is Dickey. I am 61 years old and had Hep C over 30 years. I have never been treated for it because my Dr told me I had no scaring from biopsy and it was very low detected so he felt I should wait until better treatment than inteferon. Well I finally got prescribed Harvoni after being persistent. I'm on 6th day today and basically same side affects as most say slight headache & tired feeling. Drinking lots of water for sure reduces the side affects. I am grateful to God for the chance to rid myself of living with this horrible disease! Thanks for allowing me to join your forum!
