I took Harvoni for six months and was cured of Hep. C., only to be diagnosed with Stable Cirhosis of the liver. I also have Parkinson's disease. Any advise? or comments. Thanks.Always, David.

Hi my hubby had cirrhosis due to alpha 1

Also has Parkinson's we were told that when liver doesn't function properly a build up of metal can accumulate in the basal ganglia which causes the Parkinson.

Are you on meds for the Parkinson's?
