Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hi all! Kat here. or Arabella(my daughter's name)if you prefer. I am geno 1b or 1a without the harder to treat Q thing depending in who you ask. I just got approved for 400mg of sofosbuvir and 150 mg simeprivir ( spelling may be off but you get the idea) The meds. get delivered Saturday so I suppose that will be my start date. Seems unreal. I have a zillion questions like can I work out still? Will my appetite increase or decrease. ( hoping for the latter). He said with Olysio to wear lots of sunblock. so I guess its safe to say it causes some photo sensitivity. I will do my best to let you all know my experiences during the process, like Rass and some others have been doing (thank you for that too!). So woo-hoo!!! I am still hoping and praying for each and every one of us!!
much love all!
Kat

Hello Sarah! I've nog heard of sovaldi and Olysio paired with ribivirin but I bet that will mist definetly do the trick!! Sides are really mild if any, I have a small chest cold so once that clears I may come to realize I do not have any at all! Good luck! I hope approval is swift and you can get started right away!
