If we didn't dream we would all be in an insane asylum.  Dreams are based on our fears in life, and thru our dreams we release anxiety and fear.  They are never based on fore telling of the future or some mysterious imagined scenarios to befall us.
This drug will save your life, not hinder it.
Lucky for you you have the opportunity to imbide.

There's no reason to take anymore tests, you already know you're HepC positive and you already paid for the drugs.  It's time to take the bull by the horns and take the medication.  I don't know anybody at all who has had any noticeable sx's.  Just start the drugs, its that simple!  good luck!

Please don't waste your time breaking a little piece off, that's just not right.  Whatever gives you the power to take that Harvoni, do it!  Prayer, meditate, drink tea or even a beer if you have to.  Harvoni has given me, no side effects to speak of at all.  Besides, I welcome side effects because it makes me feel like it's working and removing the virus from my body.  good luck!!

Those changes are minimal blood test values change al the time they will be different every day. The important thing is if they are in normal range.

For my lab normal WBC is 3.4 to  10.8 th/mm3 your lab may be different so your WBC is normal. My labs normal  platelet values are 150 - 379 x10E3/uL so if your lab is similar your platelet counts are normal the variation in your results means nothing especially as they are in normal range

Best of luck

yes i hope so im cowered to be scared from drugs that will cure me. i even want to suck the first pill and monitor my self if i have  allergic or low/fast heart rate or no.
there are many strong people and children in earth and im not one of them. i was scared to even take augmintin or panadol when i have tooth pain. im scared of all foods and drinks. every weak i have a dream or two about the virus and pcr and harvoni. 2 weeks ago my platelet was 270 and WBC was 3 i slept well and ate good and yesterday was 299 and 5.9 so i believe now that sleeping good and eating good food will do better in my health.

Hep c flows to all parts of your body in your blood. The medicine will be in your blood stream to all parts of your body. There is no where for the virus to "hide" the virus has no intelligence it does not think it's only purpose is to make more copies of itself.

Ok I looked up platine which appears to be the French word for the English word platinum which is a metal. So I guess you had a metal rod to repair your broken leg. The hep c virus cannot get inside a piece of metal.

Get treated and cure your hep c I am sure you will beat the virus.

ok last question, 5 years ago my leg broken and i made operation and they put a piece of platine. the question is, does it will hide some virus in it or beside it? or the virus will hide from everywhere?

I'm on harvoni right now and I have had very little as far as sx's go.  Take your Harvoni at night time, that way you sleep through your sx's, if you have any.  Personally the only thing I've felt is the first day and 2nd day after dosing, I felt minimal pain in my thighs, like I had been hiking for a day or two.  My feeling on that is the viral load was being attacked by the harvoni and I welcomed that sx with a smile.  Not only that, before I started tx, my ankles and feet, hands used to swell up.  Not anymore, so I'm hoping that's a good sign.  The sx's on harvoni are very minimal, believe it, it's true.  Another thing to note is all the clinical trails on harvoni that I read about, nobody stopped tx due to sx's.  Be brave young man!  good luck!!

You have nothing to worry about your anxiety is bigger than the side effects. I did 12 weeks 1 year ago and I am cured. I took mine every morning at 6am and went to work . No side effects. You are doing a miracle drug that cures hep c .Relax and everything will be fine

Many people have taken Harvoni with few side effect the primary one being occasional mild headaches there have been no allergic reactions to Harvoni that I am aware of there is no allergy testing for Harvoni.

Most found that keeping properly hydrated while taking having helped with the headache.

I know it is scary to take a new medicine by most said it was liketakng a vitamin and some even said they had more energy on the medicine.

Also per the prescribing information DO NOT CUT, CRUSH, OR BREAK YOUR HARVONI PILLS.

You worked hard to get this medicine I am very sure you will be fine on treatment and be cured just think positive :-)

Good luck
