Hi Bob, I had Sovaldi and Ribo for 6 mo. My platelets dropped to 10 prior to treatment and had to have my spleen taken out. 2 yrs later, treatment. I felt lethargic ALL the time prior to treatment, now 3 mo after treatment tired 40 percent of the time. I also was so foggy minded, I could not think straight before treatment, now I am starting to get my brains back ! I had no detection of Hep C at 3 weeks into my therapy. I have to get blood work this week to see how it's going 3 mo after treatment. It's been a very heavy cross to bear, praying this new yr will give me a chance to feel well. I am genoType 3 . Insurance wouldn't cover harvoni for me. How about you? C

I have had hepatitis C for almost 20 years , I went through interferon and Ribavirin treatment a few years ago , after five months I was clinically depressed and had to go on antidepressants . After six months I stopped with no positive results , ( I wouldn't do it again ) then this year my doctor looked me in my eyes and told me he could cure me with Harvoni, i'm down to my last 10 days and have had two blood tests both showing viral load undetectable . I still don't feel great but I know that the disease is dead , and I plan on living my life the best I can . I've been sober since March 18, 2004 and my life is great on most days . I hope this helps somebody .
