sovaldi and ribivirin symptoms

[madelefant]

I know a lot of people have reported minimal symptoms on Sovaldi and Ribivirin ore Olysio (without the interferon) but I noticed the people who do say they have symptoms are ones who have cirrhosis and later stage scarring. I have reached day 24 and while the symptoms started out minimal and don't compare with the interferon treatment, I do feel a slow increase of them. Some itching and a all around malaise. Kind of a bit of a needles and pins feeling sometimes.
I'm keeping a video log/ journal of my experience on you tube if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDac44W6Qk8EDQ9ilbQWSExGm4yg3mrf-
You can go  to later vids if you viewed any of them.

I am doing it for 24 weeks. Sovaldi 400 mg per day, ribivirin 1200 mg per dsy. Type 3. I had previously gone through 48 and 72 weeks of treatment with interferon and ribivirin.

I've had my two weeks lab back and my Alt and Ast have dropped into acceptible range. They were just a bit high before. My platelets dropped but still in normal range. I expect that to drop more though.

good luck to you!

you are knowledgeable, so perhaps people can ask questions here and you can answer on your Vlog.  

i did you say in your video that your treatment is 24 weeks?
is that because you were treated before? or genotype, or  TT or CC or all of the above.?

what was your VL when you started.?

how are your labs now?
