Epclusa Ruined My Life (Page 11)

Has anyone experienced severe anxiety, constant crawling feeling in body after epclusa treatment. Its like my brain and body aren't working right anymore? I had terrible side effects. Finished in January, now it's June and feels like I'm still taking the poison.

Re: Kathleen (# 199)

Hi Kathleen,,yes you're right. My dr is an idiot, I had an appointment yesterday drove 25 miles to see him, only to see a sign on door saying no face to face appointments till further notice. Wow he could have rang to tell me. Last week he wanted to see me to check my breathing. While I was in hospital couple weeks ago they did few tests on me ( I can't remember ) apparently a couple of spots have shown on chest x-ray thing they do maybe called MRI. Anyway now I get a call from hospital I have to see a lung specialist in September, just another thing for me to stress about. I'm getting so sick of it all, Anyway I asked my stupid dr what it was about all he could say was it's all very vague !! thanks.

How are you doing anyway? Sick of talking about my crappy problems, this pandemic has really turned everything upside down. I have been watching all the election stuff on tv. Do you think he will squirm back in to power? I really hope not. He's disgusting. I thought Bush was nuts but Trump, I can't understand how he got voted in!!! The hot weather must be hard for you. Starting to warm up over here in the day, still cold at night. Forest fires have started already. The smoke is really bad, gotta close all doors windows, bad for my asthma. I don't know how long I can put up with problems, I hate old age lol. Take care.

Hi lou. Not sick of hearing about your health. Your health and mine are parallel. I've been so sick for last few days. Im not in pain. I just dont feel right. I can not sleep well. I have to have an ultrasound done for cancer screening of my liver. I have one every 6 months. Do you? I dont know what to say about trump. He is very hated here by many but his base cant do the right thing. I cant even watch news when he comes on. Pence just as evil. I hope USA has grown up a little and stand up to him. We had another black man killed (unarmed) three days ago. He has created hate like I've never seen before here. It's so bad that basketball and football teams refuse to play games. California is on fire again. Fires surround where I live. Smoke so bad it can be seen from Arizona. Which is 3 states away. I'm sorry you had to go all the way to dr. for nothing. I know that was not right. I have seen that your country is still struggling with covid also. Its been 6 months since life has been normal. I see no let up. Anyway Epclusa has made life less than normal anyway. Well my friend, I'll say goodnight. Always look forward to hearing from you. Try to stay positive that your mri comes back clear. Take care.

Re: Kathleen (# 203)

Hi Kathleen, sorry you aren't feeling to good. Praying for you. I get these emails sent to me from hep council. I think the last one I got was racing about their miracle cure Epclusa and how it had very little side effects. I replied setting them strait on their treatment! I told the guy to look on the net about nerve damage and all the other problems people are getting. Hope he reads it!! Sometimes I think all these fires, floods, hurricanes, Trump ECT, is the human race getting paid back for all the horrible things some humans do (not us, usually rich humans). I rang my dr yesterday to try and find out when I have to go see a specialist about 2 spots on my lung. I think early September, but of course he couldn't find the details the hospital sent him. He was going to ring me and tell me, ha ha sure. You people are really getting a hard time over there!! I hope your son and friends are safe. Yes the police shootings are a disgrace, always on the news over here. I just want to hear that Trump's gone. He's a real con man. Scares me that people listen to his crap. Anyway mate please take it easy. I had to have a little laugh when you said lately you have not been sleeping and not feeling real good, because as usual I'm feeling the exact same thing. Lucky if I get 2 hrs of sleep sometimes, most times. My dr doesn't understand anything about hcv. If ever you can't sleep send me a message, I would probably be awake feeling yuk too!!

Hi Kathleen, hope you are going ok, fires look terrible in U.S. I have to go back to specialist November to see if spots on my lung have changed apparently small I think 17 mm bit over half inch I think two spots, first thing he says is don't smoke, that's exactly what I felt like doing now just another thing to stress about. Hope you're ok,

Re: Lou (# 205)

Yes the fires are all around us. Skys orange. Raining ash on everything. Must stay indoors.
I hope you are not smoking. That would really be sad for me. We have to fight this head on. No back sliding. I implore you to consider.

I also have liver cancer scan in November. This one scares me. Please leave your lungs alone. Give them a chance.

I'm not sure if we will have to evacuate because of fires. Sacramento which is the city i live in..Carmichael is a suburb of sacramento. It is surrounded by wild fires. Some idiots had a gender revel party and used an incendiary device and set off a fire still uncontained. People are so selfish. Who cares enough to do that to tell people the sex of their baby? For God's sake babies are born everyday everywhere without such selfish parents.

Are you getting any kind of sores from Epclusa? I keep getting them around nose. They are awful and last for a month or so. What next? Take care Lou. Always thinking/worrying about you.

Re: Kathleen (# 206)

Terrible news about fires, praying you and family, friends are safe, I can relate about to what you are going through after the fires here last year, in fact the specialist I saw last week told me that smoke from fires plus working in dusty areas, and all the other things asbestos lead paint, and of course certain medical treatments, hcv virus all may have had negative effect on my lungs, and of course smoking didn't help! I remember being in hospital in the 70s cigarettes were sold in canteen plus trains always had smoking carriages every second add on tv was for cigarette s, lucky to live this long I think, just wish we could sue them for damages, we suffer while they get rich (Epclusa) yes the sores I have to watch if ever I get a scratch or similar I have to watch that doesn't get infected, like the last one on my shin ended up 3 antibiotics scripts then hospital penicillin injections, ok now but has taken over a month to heal .still the liver Epclusa people refuse to admit that it may have contributed to any ill effects!! How can they be so sure, some humans really make me sick, just like those selfish gender wierdos , you told me about, somedays I really feel like a dinosaur, I just don't fit into a lot of things that are considered normal these days.

Really hope everything goes ok for you with liver appointment, will be thinking of you ok,hope you are ok with fires, smoke, please try stay safe,hope you have somebody to help you if you have to move!! Oh I nearly forgot does your air con help inside with the smoke from fires.???IV only used the air con once since I got it hasn't been hot enough yet plus bit scared I'm going to press wrong button on remote and blow it up,it looks like a scary robot just hanging on wall, lol, should help I hope, take care praying an thinking the best for you.

Re: Lou (# 207)

You are funny. Robot.lol.

I use a/c from about noon to eight pm. Helps with heat. It is an air conditioner outside. Large unit. I have vents in all rooms up high on walls. If you live in California you MUST have one. We are in a valley in CA. So heat comes and stays. We sometimes get a delta breeze. Live half mile from The American River.

Smoke is awful. Sun and moon look orange. Literally fire is surrounding where I live. I have a cat and dog and am so worried about evacuation.
We are famous for having more trees per capita than any other city but urban sprawl will keep us safer.

Do you have any ideas on how to unite Epclusa survivors together? I am tortured because I have no way to warn hopeful patients.

Yes I remember your fires last year. Satan on the war path. Speaking of satan.. less than two months until trump gets his. If he should win I think my will to live will diminish. Truly.

Be safe. I think a/c would help you Lou. Take care. Be so safe.

Hi. Surviving but smoke so bad that it rains soot on cars and everything.

Talked to liver dr. Physicians assistant and she cant seem to grasp my exhaustion. I said Epclusa changed my life. I feel so cheated. She said talk to my pcp. Really?

Cooking dinner. Mundane but necessary. I hope your leg is better.

Think of you often my friend

Re: Lou (# 209)

No blackouts yet. We try to not use too much electricity but living in California means heat over 300 days a year. I hate it here. Such predjuice/trump hate here... but everywhere. I'm putting in my email address. Not sure it will go through but its at the least that Epclusa can do.

Re: Kathleen (# 211)

Hi, I feel for you, just starting to get hot here. I'm so not looking forward to heat, seasons are definitely changing for the worse. They have started doing burn offs of large areas, supposedly to reduce fires in summer. Trouble is the smoke that happens with it, plus they burn sugarcane in spring and summer which is terrible sickly sweet smell. My car is covered in soot some mornings, the humidity is usually in 90s most nights, last night was terrible hard to breathe, have to close windows. Air isn't that healthy, I was awake at 2.30 again coughing?? A lot of people are hoping Trump gets kicked out over here, our stupid prime minister seems to get on with him oh dear!! They censored your email address, I'm trying to work out how I could send mine. Really hope you get some rain to put fires out. Seems everything is so corrupted these days, nothing surprises me with corrupt politicians, or drug companies big business etc.

Re: Kathleen (# 210)

Seems no body wants to say anything against Epclusa !!I'm just glad we grew up in a different time then this ,I liked 1900s less confusing ,IV had so many infections an skin problems since Epclusa ,I'm not looking forward to November when I find out about my lung issues ,wouldn't surprise me what happens after doing Epclusa ,the specialist didn't seem impressed with my lungs ,stay safe.

Re: Lou (# 212)

I will keep you close in prayer. Funny I tried to send you my email address and Epclusa texted me that I cant do that. They will allow us to warn whole planet about their poison. If I would not have taken it I might be living better.

No symptoms of hep c. Now you and I and God knows how many others are suffering. We were just about first human/lab rats. My life is now a series of bad days following bad nights.

Have to be prescribed ambien to sleep away my miseries. Temp cooling down here now. Fires outta control. Air quality sucks..literally. Take care Lou. Be well mate.

Re: Kathleen (# 214)

Hope you are ok, I've been watching the news, it looks so terrible hope you are in a safe place, starting to warm up here as well, it's so stressful continually heat an smoke really exhausting. I just watched news on tv, 250 dead, whales were washed up off coast of Tasmania, nobody seems to know what happened to them. Every day seems to be a new catastrophy, then Trump comes on the screen he looks oh so confident. I really hope I get to see him thrown out, thinking of you hoping everything ok for you, glad I got air conditioning connected, sure makes a difference.

Re: Lou (# 217)

Latest stunt. He just had secret service drive him around in circles in car to show "how sick he isn't". He deserves his illness. Country fed up.

He is going to lose big time and when he does,everyone he owes money to will be after him. His wife caught on tape disparaging having help with Christmas decorating at the white house. And saying how she hated going to border to see how her husband has locked up children.

They both deserve what they get. The whole family of thieves and liars are coming under scrutiny. Hope this finds you feeling okay. I know Epclusa will never allow us to be normal again so when I have good days I relish them.

Take care mate. Hope to hear from you soon. Stay inside. Stay warm. Eat well.

So good to hear from you,I was starting to get little bit worried ,!!,wouldn't be surprised if all was a plot to get votes because he knew he was going down in popularity ,I can't get over how trumpsters all have similar appearance ( redneck ) at least it gives me bit of faith in humanity ,that he may get kicked out,it's early in morning 2am so goodnight mate ,really great to hear from you and your ok .air cons good.!!

So.....anyone thinking of taking Epclusa needs to do a lot of research first. I am two years out and my life will never be the same. I'm 72. Female, non drinker, not drug user. I had a blood transfusion before they tested for cirrhosis. I did not even know I had it for about fourty years. They gave me three months of Epclusa and it changed my whole life. Every day I took it was like being poisoned. It was the worse feeling ever and since Epclusa I am exhausted every day and never sleep well. Please read all that you can.
