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!

took 4 th interferon shot last night . im on interferon, ribivirin and sovaldi. have had some kick butt sx but they are better . myalgia and anxiety off the charts. they gave me vicoprophen 7.5/200 and 10 mg valium 3 x daily. is this normal. also i was under the impression i would have a liver biopsy before starting tx? any thoughts? had hep c since 2006 but only got insurance 2 months ago so thats why just now starting tx

I wonder why the 30 minute wait? I eat my breakfast and then take my meds right after that. I wish you wonderful success with the treatment, I know you'll breeze right through it! I have 5 more days then I'm FINISHED! Been virus free since 4 weeks. Keep us posted on your progress!

I just started same combo today -- my doctor said eat food in am - wait 30 min., take both meds at same time (for simplicity since only Olysio indicates w/food, but causes no drawback with Sovaldi I gather).

Good luck, take both medicines on a FULL stomach ( even though it is really the olysio)

I was very worried about the effect on my stomach, as I have a bad one, all sorts of iilietus ( even was hospitalized a week 7 years ago)

But I found I had no problems, bowels normal to even better, and naseau maybe once related to overheating I was out side with hat and protective sun stuff( remember sun sensitivity)
