How is Harvoni going

[48weeks]

How is Harvoni going for those few who have started it.  I think I will be starting it within a few weeks and was wondering what I have to look forward to.  I've heard nausia and fatigue, anything else? Thanks, wish you the best.

Glad to hear you are doing great.
Yes, I am 30 days into the treatment and have no side effects what so ever. My energy is so high I can go 5 days a week to the gym after work and I don’t feel tired, but who knows maybe because I am on a gluten free and dairy free diet also and this helps the inflammations. I will keep posting going to this journey.

I bought disposable toothbrushes from Amazon. It's a smaller size than a regular toothbrush but for its purposes that is just fine.

Costco has big packs of toothbrushes, so got a few of those.

Where did you buy disposable toothbrushes, or did you mean cheap toothbrushes that you throw away when your finished. Thanks

Glad to hear y'all are doing well on Harvoni!  I am looking into getting on that tx drug as well.  I have an appointment the first part of November, don't have the date on me right now, but it's just around the corner.  This forum has helped many many members, and readers get through tx and other situations life throws at us, it's truly a blessing.  I used to post on this forum for years.  I failed at my first tx which was a clinical trial on Boceprevir, Ribaviron and Interferon.  Crazy!!  I couldn't take the Riba and the Interferon, forgettabout it.  Hated to do it but I had to stop the fight, so I could fight another day and another is right around the corner.  Hope some of y'all remember me.  Cheers!!

I had some fatigue but it wasn't bad at all in comparison to the old drugs. I did not have nausea or headaches at all which was surprising to me since having cirrhosis I felt nauseous on a daily basis. I had some pains in my back and neck but that may have been the cirrhosis as well. One thing that seems clear to me is that having cirrhosis makes taking any drug more painful and discomforting on some level.

Congrats on starting this treatment soon. You've hung in there for a long time and what a relief if will be. Keep up posted on how it's going.

Hi all, first time writing here but reading for few years. I am on Harvoni for 10 days and have no side effects.
I never treated before, GT 1B for 25 years. Taking the pill in the morning with or without food, I lost 4 pounds but I have lots of energy, some days I do not need to have my coffee. No blood test until I finish 12 weeks. I am using disposable toothbrushes every day and same for shaving disposable razor.
Good luck!
