Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

That's great news! There are few to no side effects. It's as simple as eating an bite of a banana.

I'm just completing 7th week of 12. I'm feeling really good today. I had a headache yesterday that worsened as night fell. I was wondering why, and suddenly it hit me: I ate winter squash the night before, and I quit eating winter squash years ago, because it gave me headaches. We were at a healthy vegan restaurant and winter squash was in the specials we got. Today the headache is totally gone and I'm feeling on top of the world!

The Harvoni did not cause the headache.

Good luck! I did have side effects the first week (constant headache, insatiable appetite, dizziness, mental thickness, cramping and bleeding) but they seem to be gone now.

The time will fly by. I had hardly any side effects with Harvoni alone. At times I wondered if I was really even taking a drug. This will be a breeze for you and before you know it, you will be cured !!!! I only have about 13 days left and it seems like I just started yesterday !!
