Hello Charles,

Id like to say welcome too! I'm glad you found the forum and appreciate you sharing your story. You are very fortunate to have been given Harvoni and believe that this will be your only experience with treatment. It's a very effective drug indeed,

Let us know how everything progresses and good luck!

Hi Charles,

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story.

Yep, you were lucky to get the new treatment and your smooth ride is to be expected with Harvoni. It is a wonder drug and will clear the virus for you.

Best wishes and let us know when you get your SVR. Cheers.

Hi y'all,

I was diagnosis late last year and started Harvoni on 2-18-15. Not sure I got this but I was wondering why I was feeling bad. When my doctor said he wanted me on Harvoni I was concerned about the cost but he got it for me for through my insurance company for next to nothing ($5). When started my viral count was 1.7 million and after two weeks it was at 105. After four weeks it was zero and after eight weeks it was zero and liver enzyme are back to normal. Just three more pills to go and I feel good. Didn't have any side effects and my energy level went up. I get up in the morning and walk the dog right away like I use to. I feel sorry to hear all the ones who lived so long with HCV and suffered though the old treatments in the past. Reading the stories I feel fortunate that Harvoni came along for me at the right time. It sounds like a wonder drug. Thanks for listening.
