    Yay! The more people we have using generics, the more we can add pressure to big pharma to lower their price! Good idea!

    So far u are only the second person I came across having two genotypes

    One is from fb hep c support group. She has type 1 and 3.

    I think you are right in saying harvoni is suitable for your treatment. Hope you can start treatment soon. Did your doc tell you anything that we dunno?

    Hi Everyone,

    Getting the Twinvir tomorrow :cheer:

    Any hints on best way to take it?

    With food? in morning or evening?

    Does it affect sleep or anything?
    Are you meant to drink a lot of water, like on the old treatments?
    Any suggestions?

    So excited. :)

    All the best,
    Cindi x

    I am on twinvir

    It can be taken with or without food.

    I am taking it in the morning

    Now almost all the side effects are in e.g. muscle aches, diarrhea etc. I am day 8. Probably need two weeks for the meds to settle in

    There are a couple of people on fb group type 1a using sof + dac and even riba. Their results are quite good (undetectable at week 4) do continue with your treatment please. Refer to Dr freeman’s cheat sheet for monitoring if your gp do not know what to do

    Thanks for educating me on the iron iissue,on which I was a little ignorant.One of my personal reasons for taking Kale was that
    my diet is largely vegetarian,and Kale does have a lot of other useful vitamins and minerals.

    One of the very noticeable symptoms I have had since starting tx is intensely strange and vivid dreams.It is sometimes a welcome relief to wake up.I would have been able to give Freud and Jung enough to provide a whole extra book.

    Yes lots of dreams here too!

    Is there any documentation available on arthritis symptoms while taking Harvoni. I am day 10. Initially no symptoms then day 5 within an hour of taking Harvoni I started to get arthritis symptoms which worsened over the next few hours. By the morning they had all but gone. On day 6 I had a similar response but more intense pain and took an anti inflammatory, the next day was a repeat. Day 8 I didn’t take anything and the symptoms were still there in the morning, although not as bad, next day the same. The weird thing is the pain is in different parts of my body each day. My question is has anyone else had a similar experience and how long should I expect this to go on?

    I am day 7

    The body ache can be quite bad

    There is one symptom I forgot to mention,and I note no-one else has.My sex drive over the last few
    years plummeted from normal plus to zero minus.I note it is listed amongst the known symptoms in the book..
    I wonder if others have experienced it,or if it just a topic that is taboo.

    I have good news for u

    I found that after taking the meds every morning erections seems to be stronger haha

    Mebbe liver does affect sex performance
