Have been non-responder to every trial and protocol since 95,,,,they all had interferon....

I am on Sovaldi and Riba...started last week ...am geno 1...stage 4 ESLD w/decomped liver, very high HCV load,, pre-transplant patient.    This has no interferon.  

Started last week.  No problems so far. Have had increase energy....first two days I completely...I mean completely pulled everything out of every nook and craney of the kitchen, utility room and pantry...if someone had walked in they would have thought I was moving.  Slowed down the next day to normal....thank heavens...the increased bouts of energy only side effects I've had do far.  

Good Luck if you go on this protocol.

As I understand it you have several options, all with pros and cons and dependent on your specific condition.

Treatment available now is....Sovadi/peginterferon/RIBA or Sovaldi/RIBA or the off label prescription of Sovaldi/Olysio.

You might want to go to HCVguidelines.org for more information.

Hope that helps!
