On OFF LABEL Sovaldi and Olysio!

[GrammyA]

In my 3rd week now and feeling really strong.  Without the nasty Interferon and Ribavarin this time - I have had minimal side effects and I am so very grateful!  My 2 week labs came in today and ALL of them are in normal range... including AST and ALT.  Second month of the meds have been ordered and are now on their way so stay tuned for more updates as we knock out these 12 weeks of treatment.  I truly believe this 3rd attempt to SVR will be the final one as it will be the cure I have needed using these 2 drugs!
I will keep you all posted.
Hugs and God Bless!

Hi welcome, I am on my 10th week of Sovaldi and olysio
Genotype 1b, hep c for 43 years,
My biggest side effect has been fatigue
Couple of nights insomnia, an a few small headaches, minor to the fatigue( for me some people not fatigues)

I cleared the virus at week four, and all numbers bloodwork normal, first time in 43 years!
Wow this stuff is great
Good luck!

Hello to all...awesome to have found this site. I just started the Sovadi/Olysio combo yesterday. My gastro argued successfully for this treatment with my insurance company. I am his first patient on this treatment. My co-pay is only 5.00 per bottle with refills every month for 3 months. I feel very, very fortunate and encourage all who are fighting for this treatment to stay hopeful and not give up. I have been infected for 25-30 years, 1a, F-4 and have never done any other treatment. I had a bit of a headache yesterday and pretty bad insomnia last night. Hopefully the insomnia will go away. I will be getting weekly blood draws for the first 4 weeks. Can't wait for that undetected result! Sick and tired of this nasty disease.

Yes, I have Medicare Part D through AARP which is United Healthcare. My copays were estimated to be about $13,000 but I just ordered my last 30 days of meds and the total copays for all 90 days turns out to be closer to $10,000. It's still a lot of debt for me to carrry but at my 4 week labs tests for viral load, the virus was undetectable!!! You can't put a price on that!! I just feel so blessed to have been approved, so many insurance companies are denying treatment. Good luck on your journey to the Cure!!

In regard to the coughing I found Claritan to be my life saver.    It's usually caused by a post nasal drip.     Do check with your doc tho as we all have different situations and treatments.          Kim
