Sovaldi/Olysio Side Effect

[Lovesmygolden]

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.

Hi I just finished Sovaldi and olysion 4 weeks ago, started February 11th , a  bit behind you

I am Caucasian female, , but with a TT alle
with geno type 1B, also stage 3
I have been undetected since week 4, so I am hoping for SVR

Which is 3months not 6months with this protocol,

so yours should be coming up very soon
Would you please share results

Here is rooting for you, me and everyone

Hi loves golden I finished  Sovaldi an olysio 4 weeks ago
Headaches are a known side effect, if that is your possible tightness?
I was fortunate to not really have headaches, no rashes, almost no naseau either

I did have enormous fatigue though, weak as a puppy so slept allot, and hot flashes, and out of 84 days of treatment ONLY 6-7 nights of insomnia

Also did have runny nose for 3 months

no aches or pains
So not bad, as I was able to rest
I went undetected at 4 weeks, here is hoping for SVR in 8 more weeks

Good luck

Hi

I would be more than happy to share results.  I will follow up in six months and I'm hopeful I will have a SVR.  I went negative after two week treatment and diagnosed in 1997 accidentally and not a clue how I got infected  Please explain "TT alle".  I'm glad I waited for the new generation of drugs..it was always about quality of life for me.

Wishing you the best w/your treatment and SVR in the next 8 weeks.

Great let's compare notes in 8 weeks

You will know if you are SVR then too, since it is 3 months after end of treatment

TT is the hardest to treat alle, ( CC the easiest)
So fingers are crossed

Hi, I also have been experiencing sides on this Sovaldi Olysio combo, but I might be a strange case because I'm a bone-marrow transplant. It comes and goes as far as sides, but fatigue is a biggy. Light sensitivity for my eyes and sometimes a little blurry (but that would happen with the hep c on occasion) and yes, a pressure in the head that I guess is a headache. Joint pains (just occasionally) and a lack of focus that is even worse than the hep c, but not all the time. These sides come and go for me, but I feel that overall it's emintenly doable and I'm glad most people report hardly any sides at all! This Wednesday I'll have 6 weeks down, yay! On to SVR to all of us. I am 1b and treatment naive.

Oh, and I also feel that the hep has left my body for some reason. That shadow feeling of it? It's hard to describe.
