On OFF LABEL Sovaldi and Olysio!

[GrammyA]

In my 3rd week now and feeling really strong.  Without the nasty Interferon and Ribavarin this time - I have had minimal side effects and I am so very grateful!  My 2 week labs came in today and ALL of them are in normal range... including AST and ALT.  Second month of the meds have been ordered and are now on their way so stay tuned for more updates as we knock out these 12 weeks of treatment.  I truly believe this 3rd attempt to SVR will be the final one as it will be the cure I have needed using these 2 drugs!
I will keep you all posted.
Hugs and God Bless!

Check with your md on the tums, there are allot of regular over the counter drugs not allowed
Also no grapefruit or Seville oranges
Not sure about tums but please ask them ok?

Fantastic numbers!
You will be cured
First time I am normal blood work in 43 years :-)))))

Yes! For the first time in my life I have heartburn, I'm taking Tums once or twice a day and it helps. I'm in week 7 of Sovaldi/Olysio.

I don't know what key I hit, but I wasn't finished with my post, and it got posted. Their doesn't seem to be a way to edit it.

I'll try my table of results again

Standard Range                         4/1/2014 4/25/2014
ALK PHOS -  56-119 U/L           131             92
ALT (SGPT) -12-60 U/L            164             43
AST(SGOT)   - 15-41 U/L          130             37

So basically..that means that my AST and ALT are in the normal range for the first time since the 1970s after only two weeks on this combo.

Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that by week four the virus is gone!

It's really nice to read the posts from the others on this combo. So many of us have suffered for so long in ways that only we can fully understand. I no longer feel fatigued in every cell of my body. What's scary is that it seems too good to be true...

Keep on keeping on folks!

Hey Candyce and all,

I am on my 17 day of Olysio and Sovaldi and am loving it. My only side effects so far are some dark circles under my eyes in the evening before I go to bed, some dehydration, dry skin, a little early morning awakening once in a while, and a hangover like feeling occasionally in the mornings which goes away after my morning walk.

I take a low dose of LDN (about 1.5 mg) every other day and I feel better on the LDN days.

The most exciting thing so far were my two week Metabolic panel test results.

Standard Range 4/1/2014 4/25/2014
ALK PHOS - 56-119 U/L 131 92
ALT (SGPT) -12-60 U/L 164 43
AST(SGOT)   - 15-41 U/L 130 37
