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.

Hello everyone.. I've had Hep C for 30 yrs. Got hit be a drunk driver and had to have a blood transfusion, and that was before they tested for Hep C. Anyway, years ago I tried the Peginterferon & Ribiviran tx and it pretty much wiped me out. After being hospitalized the 2nd time, my dr. discontiued the tx. and told me that in a few yrs there would be sumthing new coming out that would probably be more tolerable. Well the new treatment is out and I am on week 2 of Sovaldi/Olysio/Ribiviran tx. the 1st week was amazing. No side effects. Week 2, well, my drugs and body is at constant war. Itching, nausea, frequent bowel movements, fever, fatigue, irratibility are some of my side effects. But as God is my witness, I am going to finish this round of tx. This disease has run my life for over 30 years and its time to put it to stop..

sustained viral response or having no detectable virus in the blood 6 months post-treatment, which is considered a cure

I was diagnosed end stage in 07 with cirrhosis and now have HCC (Liver cancer) Dr going to treat and start treatment if it works then eventually transplant so yes they can treat. That way you will be virus free if you have to have transplant in future.
