A Light Post

Just curious. Has anyone had a substantial increase in sex drive since being 'cured'? That monster virus attacks the entire body so it appears.

I don't miss the brain fog either.

With that has anyone severe pain in right side of neck and shoulder/arm from the meds? It seems to linger long after treatment and I suspect it is from Solvadi which is in S/O and Harvoni. It's a strange kind of achy pain and it goes from head down past the shoulder.

Congrats to all who go EOT undetected and SVR12 and svr24 in the month of May. These are the best of times for getting cured.

Glad to see that someone else is questioning this.

I am not sure I have more of a sex drive, but I surely feel more like satisfying any drive I had/ have.  My Husband has even commented on the improvement.  Definitely a win-win situation. lol

I also agree - don't have the pain, and don't want it.

I have had an increased amount of racy dreams! That has been kinda fun actually

No specific pain like you describe by just overall aches and pains, well, everywhere, but I suspect it is the Ribavirin, not the Harvoni, in my case

Well, I've never been lacking in that department but if sex drive goes up that will still be a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing how I feel a couple weeks after EOT. Been living with this virus for most of my life so who knows. Six more pills!! :) (no pain like that here)
