For Hepatitis C "Have only been on Sovaldi (and Ribavirin) for three days now, so only have side effects to report on so far. Sovaldi seems to be causing the following: shortness of breath, acid reflux, diarrhea, and a horrible itchiness around my mouth and lips. All but the itchiness are tolerable-the itchiness is preventing me from eating or drinking much liquid, and I hate it. But I remain hopeful that this combo will cure the Hep C I have had for about 43 years now!"

For Hepatitis C "I started my hepatitis treatments on Nov 15th of this year. I have had some bad side effects: diarrhea, nauseous a lot, muscle aches, and headaches. I just found out that the insurance company only paid for the first month of treatments. I don't know what's going to happen now because I no longer have insurance. But I would rather go through the side effects than get no treatments at all."

For Hepatitis C "I did Harvoni for 12 weeks, and viral load was up 2 weeks after I completed. Harvoni made me very sick. Fatigue, diarrhea, it was kind of awful... and it failed me. I am 1a type. I also have cirrhosis F4. Next, I did Sovaldi/Olysio for 24 weeks. This time, the only side effect was fatigue, but not as bad as Harvoni. The good news is I am SVR 12 weeks post-tx, although my liver function numbers have begun to rise slightly after being normal during treatment for the first time in 30 years. But here's the real problem. I am more fatigued now than during treatment. It's been 5 months, and it's not getting any better. I get up early, exercise, have a healthy breakfast, and I'm ready to get back into bed. It really sucks. Anyone else experiencing this?"
