You don't happen to suffer from gout, do you? There have been a small percentage of people in the Harvoni study group who have said that Harvoni exacerbated their gout.
I have gout and at the end of week 1, had a major flare up in both feet and an ankle that crippled me for a month. I've had residual pain since then that gets worse after being immobile for a while and then try and walk.
Just a thought.
Hope that eases up for you!
Not that iam adware of. I am. Type 2 diabetic. But thank god no gout. Could u explain excatly what gout is please?
Gout is usually the result of a buildup of uric acid in the blood. It can cause needle-like crystals to form in the joints which triggers inflammation and extreme pain.
To me, it feels like a broken bone type of pain with the added discomfort of intense burning. When I get it in my toes, just a sheet over the toes causes severe pain. In fact, there is nothing that helps the pain subside for me unless I take corticosteroids. This is not something I would take while treating with Harvoni.
It mainly affects men, but women can get it as well. Usually for women, it occurs after menopause.
Best wishes.
