Just started Maviret, looking for people going or been through it

[MikieDalgarno]

Hi guys n gals, how’s everyone?

I’ve just started a 8 week program on 3 Maviret daily for my hep c, I was just wandering how everyone is getting on with side effects and basically how they are feeling day to day

I done the first treatment they took out, the injection and tablets, I can’t remember the names of them, but my treatment worked, my hep was gone after 4 weeks, the treatment was ment to be for 12 months but they dropped it to six months but it basically came straight back, that treatment made me so ill , I ended up 7 stone in weight, sick all the time and my hair was falling out, all for nothing so I’m a bit worried that this might happen to me again but the hospital said it wouldn’t be nothing like my last time so that’s why I want to hear from people who are actually going through it and them who’ve done it

Hi, maviret has minimal side effects if any at all. Very mild compared to the hepc symptoms and the old regimes. Very high success rate too. You may feel fatigued, slight nausea but honestly it's nothing to write home about. I didnt lose any weight at all. Best friend while on it for me was ginger. Good luck and like most you will show undetectable at 2 or 4 weeks. Lots of us been on maviret now, lots of posts over past 3 months on here

you'll be waiting for those side effects, then it'll be all over 😂

best wishes 😍😍

Hi If you did that old treatment the Maviret will be a walk in the park for you. I finished my 8 weeks on Wednesday type 3a after just 2 weeks my viral load had dropped from 8 and a half million down to less than 10! Got the all clear yesterday.Only side effects I had was fatigue which I’d lived with for years anyway.Each of us are different some have felt a bit nauseous I never symptoms are mild and will be nothing like what you experienced with the old stuff. It is definitely nothing you can’t handle. I’ve felt worse off of Antibiotics and Anti depressants Very best of luck to you you’ve got this 100%💪

Best wishes Cathy x

Hi there! I'm on my fourth week of maviret. The worst thing for me is the nausea which is aggravated by nicotine and caffeine. I get tired and head achy. Good days too though. Appetite has decreased but I now take my tablets with high fat snack and then i don't end up as queasy. I noticed my joints are more "oiled" and not as sore as they once were. I sleep well on it. I drink plenty of water. Paracetamol for headache if I need It! We are all different as many people on here have flown through but I've found it a bearable strjuggle at worst. No hair falling out. Just the sickly bit and it's not everyday. I'm genotype 1a.
