Hi Everyone!

After 4 years of waiting for treatment I am starting my 8 weeks Mavyret treatment.

I was wondering is anyone receiving this treatment and can give me some feedback about it.

Thanks a lot.

Me to please I think this was the one my GP was talking about but I was given Abbie 3D week 4 now. Hope all goes well for you x

Never heard of this treatment but I wish you all the look in the world and fingers crossed you get clear from the virus best of luck

I just started this drug too. I am 1 week in to it, so far so good, I have had a mild headache for the last 2 days but I think it's because I wasn't sleeping well. No side affects to report as such. Hopefully this drug will work

Hi, I took the mavyret for 8 weeks I had no symptoms but was carrying drug for years. The drug had a Steroid like an effect for me, super energy, very hungry and a headache. 2 months later I have crippling pain in my hip and back had to walk. I wonder if anyone else is suffering from joint or hip or back pain after treatment?

in reply to Diane2345

Yes I just finished 8 wk Mavyret...hip pain, then terrible shoulder pain, now mild back pain...finished last dose yesterday...Shoulder pain much better...now back pain started...I hope it goes away!

Is this the only tablet your taking ?

Never heard of this 1 is this just 1 tablet

Thank you for replying glad to hear you are feeling better than you were. I received meds today, start tomorrow, so Christmas should be interesting. Hoping I don't feel any worse than I do already. I have to work so xmas and new year is a good time to start. You have already reassured me. Hope you keep feeling better & better 😀 x
