Yes, I understand what you mean, and it can take a good while for your body and mind to recover and readjust after being on such powerful medicines. 

For many of us, finally achieving SVR after decades is literally a life changing experience, so give yourself time and carry on looking after your health and well-being, and I hope your sties and sores will clear up soon.  smile

I'm about 18 weeks post tx.  Still trying to integrate my new state!  So much starts shifting in the psyche, I think, with a cure after so many decades...

Hi there Ithacox, I don`t remember anyone mentioning sties and canker sores in particular, but certainly a lot of people do feel tired and drained for the first few weeks post treatment. 

I read in another post that you`ve already reached SVR12, and congrats on that, so how long has it been now since you finished your Harvoni?

Very difficult to say whether these sores are post treatment issues or not really, but I hope they clear up for you soon.

Best of luck, and maybe someone else will leave a comment.

I'm wondering if Harvoni leaves the immune system in some disarray, allowing viruses such as those for sties and canker sores to take hold.  I haven't had these kinds of issues in many decades (or during treatment) and now I seem susceptible.  I'm eating and sleeping well, not under stress,  so I just don't get it.  Any ideas?
