Starting Harvonion tomorrow

[printze]

Finally starting tx tomorrow morning. Anxious to kill this virus.

[sue4hula]

let's journey together!  Just finishing week 1 Harvoni and Ribavirin.  I'm on the world tour for 24 weeks due to cirrhosis and 3 previous failed treatments.  Counting on this to be the magic pill!  Best  wishes to both of you and  be well!

Thank you everyone for your good wishes and Keith we could  not be treated at a better time these drugs are truly amazing. Good luck to you and all of you who are on tx or beginning to start. Pill no 2 this morning no anxiety today. I agree the nervousness yesterday on starting was there for sure today is a more relaxed day and looking forward to taking my pill.

You are just starting, I just finished on 3/3. It's a Cadillac compared to the other treatments. You will be ending treatment about the time I hopefully look at an SVR lab result. Best of luck to you!!

Just a comment for starting Tx both Printze and Keith.  Having gone thru the anxiety of the unknown with these new drugs you are bound to feel some nervousness and fear.  Those emotions alone MAY cause stress related symptoms which at times are hard to determine if it's the med, or the anxiety.
Just know, these new pills have gone thru various clinical trials and have attained at no small feat FDA approval.  Relax, enjoy the ride, and know in the end you may have just saved your life.
Congragulations for beginning a new life free from the burden of Hepatitis C.

Hello to everyone, I have been absent for quite some time. I did a Boceprevir Trial back in 2009. That did not work out so well do to the fact that I received a placebo and not the actual drug Boceprevir. I have not received treatment since until today. Today I started the Harvoni treatment and so this is why I am posting this for those of you who want to see how things go. There may be many others who have already posted treatment as I sure there has been. Since Printze posted this I just decided to chime in. I took my first pill today and seem to feel a little light headed but other than that I am okay. We will see how things go and hopefully in 12 weeks I will be SRV. I will be glad to finally get the awful dragon off my back and lead a normal life again. My energy levels have been horrible for a couple of years now and I am hoping through treatment they will be restored back to a decent level that I can work without the major fatigue I feel that keeps me from working full-time. Wish me luck guys!

Day one pretty easy a tinge of a headache but nothing I can't handle I think the anxiety expecting something worse has subdued. now. This should be a fast 8 weeks indeed.So grateful for these drugs.

Side effects are mild to none. Don't worry about it. I also look forward to my daily pill. I set my phone alarm so every pill is taken at 11 AM for me. Good luck and relax. This stuff is easy. :)

Hi Printze.  You will do fantastic.  Your energy should soar and 8 weeks will fly by.  Best Wishes for a speedy viral departure!

[printze]

Thank you I will let you know as I sail along hopefully it will be a smooth sailing. I still can't believe I have the pills... Pinch me.

[hepcandme]

With you all the way!

Good luck with treatment and keep us apprised of any sides - hopefully, none - but it's great to get updates on the things that our medical teams don't even consider and that we're so grateful for treatment that we rarely mention

May SVR be yours in just a few short months!

[printze]

You are all such comfort to me and it makes the journey so much more easier. I am so grateful and soon we all achieve Svr.It is so good to have friends here thathe care. Thank you.

I was a mess the day before and day of my first pill. Now I look forward to it lol. Just make sure to take your pill the same time everyday and you will do just fine! I still do all my regular activities and have 3 small kids and no problems whatsoever :)

A little scared will take my first pill before I head out to work on bus and subway. Hopefully I can still do the gym after work.
