Hi Kevin!

  Guess we will be walking this road together. I started treatment on June 25 and so far so good. I totally agree with everyone that WATER is really important. I started to have slight sides (headache and upset stomach) the first couple of days but not real bad. Water definitely helps with it and day 3 had no sides at all. Today is day four and took my meds about and hour ago so will update later on how the day goes.

Here is wishing you smooth sailing and a great ride to SVR!!

~Robin

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the forum! As Malcolm mentioned, it's helpful to know a little information regarding your history, treatment and genotype. Here's a link to some forum information that will help you with that process if you're interested. It helps us provide better informed opinions and advice. 

You're treating at the best time ever offered to the HCV community. You should do very well. Good luck!

hello,

I will ASSUME your taking Harvoni ?

I am on day 28, and the only advise I feel qualified to give is to HYDRATE.  I felt my worst on the morning of my day 5,  so I started drinking water, even waking myself up to drink during the night.  I haven't had any side effects since.... good luck

Hi Kevin,

If you give us some details like Genotype, liver status and treatment, members are more likely to respond.

Hope all goes well. Cheers.
