6 weeks post Harvoni

[beckland]

Hi Everyone, I am about 6 weeks post treatment.  I was undetected at my 4 week labs and when I finished at 8 week i was still undetected. ..... My question is has anyone been off treatment for awhile like me and having headaches?  I've been having more headaches since I've been off of treatment.  And I still have the muscle aches. Thank you

Are you drinking enough water?  Dehydration can cause headaches.  If you are not drinking water in ounces equal to 1/2 your body weight, (weigh 120 lbs, drink 60 oz water per day).  If you don't do that now, try it to see if your headaches go away.

Good luck.  As others above have said, as the meds get out of your system,  you should begin feeling better.

Blessings,

Pat

I had the headaches in the early part of the treatment, but not after eot.  I cut back on sweets, and most carbs in general and they went away.  I occasionally took Ibuprofen for my headaches even though I guess you're not supposed to. So what I'm saying is that it could be a nutrition thing.

My headaches went away as soon as I stopped taking Riba

Try a hot bath? Laying prone with a good book?

If these headaches are persistent, let your doc know

Sorry to hear your dealing with headaches. And I wish I could answer your question but I can't as I'm just in the beginning stages of this whole ordeal. I am very curious about any other side effects, how did you feel while on the harvoni? Do you eat healthy or "normal"?  I'm scared, I've put off treatment for 13 years because of the horrible side effects I read about. But harvoni sounds different, better, less side effects. Is it true? I'm in the process of waiting for approval from my insurance company to get it..... I hope I do. I hope it's worth it...... Any feed back would be much appreciated.
