Hi, I have multiple health problems and thought this might be a good place to see what other folks have to offer in terms of tricks and trips.

I am in remission with small cell lung cancer. I also have chronic kidney stones that I've had since I was about 16. I recently developed achalasia and had to have surgery to treat that.

I also have Hep C and I'm currently in treatment with the drug Mavyret. Wondering if anybody else can tell me more about their experience with this drug.

Thank you very much for reading,

Biologist

Hello there.i was on mavyret for 8 weeks.the treatment was successful.i was cured!!i had type 1a..i'am so relieved now since i used to be very exhausted before treatment.i took my meds with food at the same time everyday.it is 3 pills at one time.my labs came back undetected at 4 weeks but i could have cleared it earlier than that.i was fortunate that i could get treated.treatment healed me.i grew closer to God because if it wasn't for him guiding me in the right direction who knows where i'd be!over all during treatment for me there wasn't many side effects..sometimes i'd have nausea and gas.other than that not much i noticed.i went to the doctor last week and he said i'm cured..no cirrohsis either.yes i'm blessed and so are you!;)
