Sofosbuvir for Hepatitis C "I am 10 weeks into the 12-week treatment with interferon, ribavirin, and Sovaldi. This is my second time around on treatment. My first was with interferon, ribavirin, and Victrelis. I relapsed the first time and was very, very ill during the entire 7 months. This treatment with Sovaldi is a cakewalk. The side effects are so minimal compared to last time. I am ill, weak, have insomnia, bone pain, and fever, but I can do this for 12 weeks if it means a cure. I am so thankful for Sovaldi. I was very hesitant to start treatment again, but I am so glad I did. My insurance covered some, and Sovaldi covered the difference up to $5 per month. Thank you."

Sofosbuvir for Hepatitis C "I have four days left of treatment, which has been for six months. The side effects have been mental for me. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, irritability, and rage all come and go randomly. The virus was undetected at four weeks, and this is my first treatment. I won't know until three months post-treatment if the virus will stay gone, but it's gone right now. I am genotype 3A."

For Hepatitis C "I'm into my 3rd week of a 12-week clinical trial with this medicine, and I feel much better already. Bit of a challenge getting to sleep on the first few days, but worth it. Hope my end result is a good one."
