On OFF LABEL Sovaldi and Olysio!

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!

Are you getting blood tests and receiving the results. At the end of the first week my liver function tests returned to normal. I have tests at the end of weeks 1, 2, 4, 8  and 12. I am just starting week 6 on this coming Wednesday  I was tested for the virus at week 4 and it was undetectable. I hope you are getting blood tests call your dr's office and ask for your results.

Good luck

I have 8 days left on Sovaldi and olysio, I have had allot of fatigue but some people have had no side effects at all, I think it depends on indivual things ( I have auto immune issues)
Not about how you are responding to treatment

I have had a few days every so often without fatigue and then had to simply remind myself to take my pills and that I was on treatment
I wrote it in my calendar  for 94 days, and then every day I take a pill I cross it off, to be sure I do t forget

I was detected at two week labs( but dropped from 409,851 to 43)
I was Undetected at 4 week labs
And undetected at 8 week labs

And hopefully will continue 3 months past the end to SVR

And hopefully you and everyone will too
