Hi I finished treatment 2 yrs ago,for Geno 3 I'm in 60s,if I had my way I would not touch it,I feel worse Poste treatment,Edema abdominal swelling numb feet really painfully joints leg muscels insomnia continual infections ,what makes it worse is the liver clinic point blank refuse to admit treatment could have caused any problems so called experts I doubt it, it's all $$$ don't be fooled they don't give a darm about you, oh yeah they make sure they mention don't believe anything you read on internet ,IV leannt more on line from people all over world,it's impossible to find out how many people now have major problems from Epclusa ,Harvoni,or how many have died.unfortunatley my dr rings them if I have a problem and gets told same thing oh treatment would not do that.lol ,there's no come back once you have started there DAAs ,it may cure the virus on a lot of people but also damages ,they don't tell the truth.good luck to everyone .

So just throwing this out because I doubt many people in my position even find these boards. I am sure I had hep C for a long time, but went acute end of 2020. Thought I was long-haul C19 at first, but then got tested and woot, hep C. My viral loads were in the high hundreds, so I know that puts me way on the low end of spectrum. After a bunch of back and forth (had to get insurance, had to get a biopsy, etc), started 12/22/22 (today is 1/22/23). First 1 - 2 days bad stomach. After that about a week of major fog in the brain for 1 - 2 hours after I took meds. Now, seem to have settled into A. Stomach sucks but not terrible (and it sucked before from the hep so...ehh), foggy brain for 1 -2 hrs after pills, but completely functional. I have some significant swelling in legs/ankles, but had that before I started and it hasn't gotten better/worse (I gained 90 pounds during c-19 so pretty sure that's where that is coming from; dropped 30 off so far). Other side effects: Less appetite, some nights just don't sleep (once every 7 -10 days), that's it. All in all nothing that interferes with my life; I still work, exercise, do my thing. Probably worst part is I really enjoy a cocktail every night and I went cold turkey on that 3 days before I started, so I kinda hate everyone right now but fairly certain that's from my lack of Maker's mark, not the meds.

Just my personal experience. Done on 3/1, hope things don't get bad but no indication they will. Oh, one other thing. First intera-meds blood test 3 days ago; viral at 0. So really hope that sticks.

Hi. I am 70 years old with COPD. I've recently been put on a new med called Trimbow 100/6/10. Has anybody else had this med? Nothing seems to work for me. I had no breathing problems before I did Epclusa treatment 5 years ago. Any info is appreciated.

Re: MP (# 25)

Good luck ,it seems to effect people I different ways ,I no longer have the virus my VL was in millions it is now o I was told VL didn't effect treatment but I can't understand that I always thought VL was to show damage done while having virus ,I don't know if the med problems that I have now would have happened to me even if I didn't do treatment anyway hope everything works out for you.
