Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
1- Mild headache
2- Metal taste in mouth
3-A bit more fatigue at first.
4-Sleep problems had them before the Harvoni but they got noticeably worse after the meds.
To be honest I was really sick had to retire early could not keep my eyes open when driving extreme fatigue and brain fog was so bad I was lucky to remember to breathe. ;^)
Was a lab rat for the high dose Interferon and Ribavirin many years back. I passed out several times had a hard time breathing often but somehow the Doctors figured something out cuz they took me off the stuff even though I did not tell them about any of this.
Now with the Harvoni at about day 30 things got remarkably better and the brain fog is mostly gone, its a real treat to be able to actually think now! My body is out of shape but responds positively by moving without me fighting with it as before and I walk at a normal pace like everybody else now rather than the slow motion I used to walk. Still a bit tired but getting better.
My doctor had me jump through a lot of hoops over the better part of a year and just when I had mostly given up on getting the meds I got a phone call asking me where to send them. Its a huge thing for me and I am blessed to live in the first world and be able to get the Harvoni after so many years of suffering.
Hope the best for you
Did two previous treatments of other meds for hcv.
In the beginning, some mild headaches that were easily managed with over the counter meds.
Nothing else.
