Sovaldi/Olysio

[PJWms10]

4weeks into 1st cycle and undetectable. 2 more 28 day cycles and praying for SVR.  Sun sensitivity very true. Sat in the yard under the eaves of the house with no direct sun on me, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses...facial sunburn  irregardless.  No more sun for a few months that's for sure.
Gen 1a, ESLD with severe chirrosis. No side effects except sun sensitivity.

Good news on being UND already.
Was your value -0-?  
Are you 1a genotype?

Keep going strong.

Hi Megan,

My bones and joints ache and I haven't started. The discomfort I am feeling is dure to rigorous 1hr. swims I do every other days.

Write back! I will have some treatment experiences  to share soon

I just heard my sovaldi and olysio are waiting for me at the pharmacy.It;s been 6 month since my personal hepatologist told me I wasn't sick enough(?)

I have a liver transplant and before that a resectable tumor. My life isn't half as satisfying since 2005 when I rec'd the OTP.That is because of the meds and HCV.

I have PPO so I found a sane Transplant  Hepatologist to help me.Life has been rough and I am hoping for improvement in my HQOL.

Just started olysio sovaldi combo 9 days ago.  Wondering if anyone is experiencing severe joint pain/body aches?  I have lupus but started having pain with meds and have never had a lupus flare this bad... Only had 3 good days of 9 so far...

Congratulations on being UND at week 4. That's a great first step toward SVR.  Since you have ESLD, are you listed on a transplant list?

Are you taking it in combination with other drugs and what ones? I am supposed to start it next month.

Congrats on completing your first 4 weeks and UND.  I too have some sensitivity to the sun.  Glad you don't have the headaches or insomnia.  Hopefully we'll all find SVR and improved health.  Be well
