Finally decided to jump through that maze of hoops- three specialist $70. co-pays, a CT scan, 2 bloodworks that cost me a ton, and now I'm waiting. "They" say the sides are mild, but would love to hear some old pals weigh in based on the assumption I'll be approved.
BTW- still feel fine and have no symptoms- critter count was one million.
$1,000. a pill. Please.

It seems like Betsy is the only person who reported having a rough time - but I hope they come by to share their experiences with you. Did you read the thread with the link to problems that might be related to the tx?
Good luck!

I believe Betsy did Riba and one of the new drugs. Her sides were most likely from the riba. I always said it was worse than interferon.
If you do Harvoni, the sides are negligible..

Yes, I did Savaldi and Riba. Wish they could treat me with Harvoni. Yes, all of the sides I had were the result of the Riba (IMO).
All the best Earl, in 12 short weeks you'll never have to think about Hep C again!
Enjoy Your Day!

I'll let you know for positive after a couple blood tests if it worked, but even for 1a genotypes, the results are very high.

Hey, hey old pals everywhere!
Hey, hey old pals everywhere!
Dropped in to report that I got the big UNDETECTED last week on my 5 month bloodwork! Harvoni IS the ticket- and a breeze compared to the bad old days. AST and ALT right on the money. So I wish everyone all the best who's able to get on that stuff.
Hallelujah- THAT was a long, strange trip!
