Hi. I’m currently on Sof/Led HepCVirL on day 38 of 84 and have developed a pretty bad yeast infection in the past two weeks. I have seen my doctor about it and he has prescribed Fluconazole 150mg for 6 days. It seems to work but only temporarily. As a man, I didn’t think I could ever develop a yeast infection in the genital area but it happened. My doctor seems to think that Sof/Led may be causing my natural intestinal flora to become unbalanced. Today I had severe bloating, brain fog, lethargy and just overall malaise. I have in the past 5 weeks of treatment been very responsive to the medication as my viral load has dropped from 1.5 million to 30. It didn’t happen without hiccups. I have had pretty much every single side effect documented so far but I’m hanging on. 7 more weeks and I will be through this. I’m extremely grateful to the Angels I met online including Greg Jefferys and Dr James Freeman who made the delivery of generic Harvoni possible. I’ll never have enough words to thank you guys.
I just hope that this candida issue can be resolved soon and that I don’t have to go through it for the duration on my treatment.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I have found this side effect to be a little bit overwhelming. Thank you
