I'm hoping that you will be undetected as well. Even though the brass ring is SVR, for those who have lived for decades with the virus, undetected is a wonderful thing to hear
Best to You
Do you live in tx,I have same ins,but live in al.,trying to find doc that can prescribe these two drugs,nurse said these r unavailable to them.im in beam,al
Dear Grammy,
Thank you for sharing all of it! You don't even know how much it means and
how happy I am for everybody who is getting better and hopeful for everyone who is trying....
Started Olysio/Sovaldi last week and had a strange reaction - vomited the first pill in 3 hours and could not stop vomiting for a day had to to go to ER to get hydrated....and I am just hoping that it was just a fluke ..... now taking a break...for a week to make sure it was not a stomach virus at the same time....
Have a history of many years(blood transfusion after child birth) living with HEPC, was only diagnosed in 1997, was on interferron(the old treatment of 3 injections a week) for 6 months and was taken off of it due to severe side effects ...you all know what I am talking about ...
Over the years ....had ercp of the bilary duct ,lost gall bladder, was anemic, had hysterectomy ....now compensated cirrhosis platelets at 60, enzymes over 450, but I am still very hopeful that I will succeed ...my AFP is over 200; MRI shows no signs of cancer yet but....
I was just wondering how many of you have lost their gallbladders and if any one was vomiting profusely at any point and how they dealt with it being on sovaldi/olysio...Good luck to all of you. Optimist3
thanks so much for being here, all of you. I think I can write some lame posts once in awhile ;-) I'm on a lot of drugs at the moment, prednisone, cyclosporin and this Sovaldi Olysio combo. So far it's just got me very fatigued and my platelets went down a little from normal, the pharmacist told me that that can happen with some people, that this will make one's counts go down a bit, but not too much, like the other treatments, let's hope!
Either way I'm sure you will clear the virus. w/o RBV is easier on the body.
Thanks for the info. The first month's supply of pills are being delivered today! I can't take them until after the teaching visit next week. I am waiting for a call from my doctor - he may decide that I don't need to take the Ribavirin.
