I am about to begin a Hep C treatment, Harvoni. I barely made it through a 48 week treatment with pegelated Interferon and Ribaviron (Sp?). Every injection brought me close to wishing for death as the impact felt like my head was going to blow off my shoulders. It cost me 6 Days a week on the couch from severe headaches and I got a severe rash it s worse than a rash - bumps that rose from nowhere all over my arms and legs, which have left me completely scarred. I would like to know the success rate and all side effects of this new drug. I m praying that I will be cured this time. My liver function tests are all normal. Thank you so much for your time. Wendy, scared in Vancouver.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Regulated Interferon and Bavaria are anti-viral Chat Doctor.  They can cause side effects like 1. Vasodilation and migraine like headache 2. Severe gastritis and HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). This intern cause heaviness in chest and pain in epigastric region. 3. Allergic reaction like hives and rashes all over body. So you're all symptoms are due to side effects of these
