Sovaldi/Olysio Side Effect
I took my first dose of Sovaldi/Olysio this morning with breakfast. That was about 8 hours ago. The only thing I've noticed is a "tightness" in my head, it's not severe but I was a bit concerned. Anyone else experienced this while on the treatment? Feeling so blessed that Medicare Part D approved the drugs.
I am 60 years old and have had hep c geno 1a for about 36 years (they didnt recognize it until 2000. No change at all, Feel great no symptoms at all.Doc has been watching it since then with yearly bloodtests, very mild only slightly elevated enzymes, sometimes even normal. Doc says I am a lucky one & have a very healthy lifestyle. He is suggesting this new oly & soval regimin.Should I do it, it is so hard to do it when I feel great and I hate to take ANY drugs much less this major combo. Will I wake up a sleeping giant or do I wait longer..Im scared and just not sure..any thoughts
I was wondering when you take the meds? Do you take them together and in the evening? The nurse I talked too said this is the best but I wanted to ask my fellow brothers and sisters in this forum what was best for them? Also what about vit D and C and CoQ10? Should I stop them during treatment? I know you are not doctors, but I know you have been down the road and have great feedback.
I have stage four cirrhosis and have recently started the Olysio and Sovaldi combination. According to my doctor, once the virus is gone, and no longer damaging my liver, there is a good chance my liver may begin to remodel itself. Do be hopeful and trust God.
I am so grateful that this combo became available. Thank You researchers and Hep C population for moving forward. Only 5 days in, sure beats tx of 13 years ago. Nonresponder then. Odds so much better. Happy to be alive to take this combo. Good thoughts to you all!
At the 3 wk mark w S/O and in fact see my GI guy tommorow to get the order for wk 4 bloodwork. Brain foggy for sure and tired. Itchy back but I had that prior so who knows.Lots[80+oz/daily]of water,eat before taking,avoiding sun and staying positive.Very grateful.
