Just stared solvaldi /Olysio 12 week treatment 7/31 /14 feeling blessed. Little foggy and skin irritation but so dar ok. Tried interferon treatment 10 years ago but didn't work for me. Good luck to all and I will share my progress
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
So sorry to hear this, I hope this works for you and you get your transplant, etc...They are performing miracles now! Best of luck to you and hugs!!!!
My husband just started the Sovaldi/Olysis today. I have been reading the posts, what does SVR stand for?
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.
