How is everyone feeling post treatment

[HealingHearts]

I'm new here and will be getting my Harvoni script tomorrow and joining the ranks of all my fellow, recovered (and almost recovered) heppers.

What a long, arduous journey it has been for all of us fighting this stigmatized disease.

This is truly a miracle drug and all I can say is, thank you Big Pharma!!

My question to everyone is;  post SVR, how are you feeling?  Is there fatigue or any side effects after treatment?

Blessings,
Healing Hearts

Congrats!!! It so great to hear good news! Yes, OP8. Hopefully I will get SVR this time!

We were going through tx at the same time, same institute, NIH in Bethesda OP8 right? Good to know you were able to get back on tx right away to get you to SVR. Are you undetected now since your re-treatment?

Your post just prompted me to call NIH to see if they got my 12 week post treatment results. Just got my anwer, CURED, SVR 12 weeks !!!

Good luck to you..... won't be long now to SVR.!

I was in a 4 week study in June 2014 on the one fixed dose pill Harvoni along with 2 other protease inhibitors at NIH.  I’m 1B type, no cirrhosis no fibrosis. Relapsed after 12 weeks. I did not have much adverse events. May be just a little bit increased Amylase and Lipase. I’m on the re-treatment now, (Harvoni along for 12 weeks course), passed 6 weeks. Very easy treatment. No side effects! No fatigue! Good luck with your treatment

Sounds like a good deal!  Praying for SVR 12 when you get your results!

So happy to hear you are approved and by now have started your new tx congratulations! Keep us posted on how you are doing. Yes it is such a wonderful relief for me too after 47 years of hcv.

I was in a 6 week study from 6/13 to 7/24/14 on the one fixed dose pill harvoni along with another protease inhibitor gs9451 - 2 pills once daily. Result was undetected at EOT 6 weeks. The first thing I noticed WHILE ON TX was food tasted so delicious and pruitus and leg cramps disappeared. I have early cirrhosis and gall bladder issues so during tx I had some inflammation and constipation side effects which were a bit more challenging than what you might have since you will be taking just the Sofos/Ledipasvir harvoni pill.

Since end of treatment I've had much increased energy and continued appetite, no more itching or leg cramps. It feels like my body is able to abosorb more nutrition and able to tolerate more food and salt without feeling all whacked out and bloated. Sooooo grateful to God and everyone.

NIH has monitored my viral load every 2-3 wks since EOT. I will get my 12 week post treatment results at end of this week as I had blood draws last Friday (LFTs are still in normal range).

Yes, that's correct, most people have not yet reached the post treatment stage (of those treating with Harvoni).  Now, if your wondering about those of us who did the Sovaldi (which is one of the drugs that are included in the Harvoni pill).., there are many of us who are post treatment with Sovaldi.  In my case, I did Sovaldi/Peg/Riba for 12 wks.  I'm about 7 wks post (last day on it was 9/10/14.  I am still pretty exhausted.  But, I didn't have the Olyssio part of the treatment and someone else who didn't have interferon shots and Ribavirin and did have the Olyssio.., might be having a different post treatment experience.  I think you may have to wait awhile to start hearing from people who are post treatment with Harvoni.  Susan400
