Day 1 of Harvoni

I took it at 7:30 am with a pouch of applesauce and a handful of raw almonds. Nurse practitioner said it can be take with or without food.
I think I'm more anxious than feeling side effects. This is my 4th treatment and I'm ready for this to be my last.
Any words of wisdom anyone wants to share?

Day 5 and I'm doing alright, I guess.  I've been in a horrendous mood the last day or so. I usually am pretty laid back and happy and everything seems to bother/annoy me right now. I know this medication does not affect mood like Ribavirin/Inf did so it could be that I'm not sleeping well.
I really need a nap but then I fear I won't be able to sleep tonight.
I'm also ravenous, I"ve been eating like it's my last meal. All clean stuff but the quantity is just ridiculous. I made a batch of paleo coconut/cherry ice cream and ate half the thing. I mean, yeah, 4 ingredients, used medjool dates to sweeten it  instead of sugar but still, 4 servings!!!
Oh well, 79 days to go...

Congragulations on getting started.  Just think, your an old pro at this after going thru 4 Txs so therefore your going to nail it this time.  I do think they basically they have it right except for some additional fine tuning.  Do hope this will be the "One" and that you can finally move on to better health.  My best for smooth sailing.

Dear Penny Lane M,

Just from reading the numerous success stories these past several weeks, I have every confidence that you will be undetectable very soon.

God has blessed us all with the miracle of conventional medicine. Best wishes to you and keep us posted on your side effects, if any.

Blessings
