For Hepatitis C "I have HCV genotype 3a. The first 50 days were fine. Mild headaches to begin with, which dissipated after two weeks. The usual joint pain I had been experiencing has gone, which is great. However, from day 50 onwards, I have had constipation, which has been getting progressively worse. At first, I was eating about 150g of prunes, that helped, but I have never had constipation like this before. I switched to Movicol, and at first, it helped somewhat, but then nothing. I guess I am going to have to get suppositories next. Has anyone else experienced this during the treatment? Also, I feel nauseous."

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 am a 59-year-old woman who has successfully cured my Hep C for 2 1/2 years. I had contracted Hep C from a blood transfusion in 1985. My acute phase I was fluish, fatigued, and very nauseous. Fast forward 25 years and the chronic phase began with nausea, extreme rashes, and terrible fatigue. I felt 80 years old. I was Genotype 1 with liver stage 3 and viral load off the chart. I waited for the new medicine to be approved and started my 12-week treatment. I took Sovaldi, ribavirin, and Interferon. I was very sick from the shots. I got C-diff, it lasted 1 month. I did not respond to the antibiotics. Then I developed multiple blood clots in my legs. It was a hard 12 weeks. But today I feel like I have a new life! Life is good."

For Hepatitis C "I've read a lot of forums about the Sovaldi treatment, but my experience after my 3rd week went south: difficult moving, loss of strength, vomiting, nausea, fatigue, no appetite, different muscle pains, back and side aches. At first, I said this is a cakewalk compared to the interferon. But I'm still thankful and had a clear test, one more month to go, and I'm very grateful!"
