(Newest replies first)

Hello. I am 16 months post epclusa and feel worse than when I started. I was a server for over 40 years. Full of energy. Then hep c happened. I had epclysa for 12 weeks. Now I am in bed most of the tune from no energy. My ears are ringing. I feel deflated. Anyone else feel like this? My hep c nurse waived off my complaints.

I take same medication. It's perfectly safe. Been on it for 4 years,since epclusa.
Bummer about pine trees bothering you.
I hate the eucalyptus tree. Do you know of it? Smells terrible and my so jeremie has one right outside his window.
Oh I've been in California for 75 years and only felt one earthquake.
News makes it seem worse than it is.
Still better than hurricanes and tornadoes.
Still 100 degrees here. I run central air about 16 hours a day. Can't take the heat.
Glad to hear from you my epclusa bud...

Carmichael is in the valley,a suburb of sacramento. It's hotter than can be in summer but winters are not so bad.
No snow. It has been 5 years since epclusa. I wish I could say it was a good 5 years.
Since epclusa my body has fallen apart. My eye sight rehumatoid arthritis, sleeplessness and much more
You are going in to spring and you in to winter. Love winter.
Hope you are finding news about housing.
Thinking of you Lou

Hello my epclusa buddy. Sorry to hear you are still displaced. Here in California I have recently talked with two others who took epclusa and have bad side effects. Like blurry vision, aches in joints, sleeplessness. It it still going on. Don't get me wrong, epclusa cured my help c but has played havoc with my body. We are having a really hot summer. I know you are having a rough time. I wish I could help. Stay strong Lou.
Thinking of you.

Still waiting in temp housing. Weather reports look really hard for you with the heatwave. I think the world is really changing (climate, ect.). Hope you are ok.

Hi. I think a lot of my messages are not getting through to you. I often think of you and hope the heat isn't too hot for you. It's just starting to warm up here. I'm really not looking forward to it, between my breathing issues and trying to avoid covid, it's not easy. Take care ok.

Hi Kathleen, How are you doing with the heat over there? It's been really hot everywhere, and we've been getting warnings that summer will be extremely hot with potential fire outbreaks. I'm not looking forward to it, especially since my breathing hasn't been very good lately. I've tried so many over-the-counter medicines to try to make my coughing easier, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any clues what might help? How have you been? I was driving through town last week and saw that the local liver council were having a big meeting. They were offering free drinks and sandwiches to people who signed up for Epclusa. I would have tried to tell people not to touch it if I had more energy, but I probably would have gotten arrested. What's new with you? I don't have much news to tell you, but I've been following the news closely. There's a lot of trouble going on all around the world, which I find both interesting and depressing. I still watch the news, even though it often keeps me up at night. Take care, my friend.

I have had many side effects from Epclusa treatment 5 years ago. I'm now 70 years old and am really worried about covid. Seems to be a lot of cases where I live. I've had 5 vaccine shots that were suppose to help but did not help. My kid's sister passed away a year ago.

Re: Kathleen (# 124)

I feel for you. I saw the weather report last night and it looks so bad. It's even in Europe I think. I heard that same will happen here when summer comes and that means fires getting out of control as well. I've been getting more and more body jerks lately. I spilt 2 hot drinks last night. Usually happens when I'm tired. I have no control. Lucky it doesn't happen when I'm driving. I think that's why I fell off a chair. My Dr is not interested. Anyway, try and stay cool. It's terrible we have enough to put up with without a heatwave I think.

Re: Lou (# 123)

Sorry you fell. Yes epclusa has changed my body too. I can't sleep well,now take ambien. I have so many issues since epclusa.
Yesterday was 108 outside. Yes summer is a killer here.
Covid is not rampant in hospitals. I went to pharmacy Saturday in hospital and hardly anyone wears a mask . I just had My 6th covid booster shot.
My system is so weak from epclusa that I now stay current on all vaccinations.
I hope you get housing real soon. I've thought of you often

Re: Lou (# 121)

Hello Lou, haven't heard from you in a long time.
I met a lady whom was taking epclusa the same time I was.
She also has same symptoms.
She can't sleep. While taking it daily for 90 days she also felt like she was poisoned for about 14 hours right after taking.
I felt like I was dying every day for 90 days jyst like her.
I have never recovered from all the poison I was given.
No one told us of the powerful side effects of taking it.
Yes we are alive but we will never recover from the medications side effects.
Tomorrow is our countries independence day. I am so tired that I won't be joining in the festivities.
Just mostly stay in bed now.
Did you get in better housing? Last time we spoke you were in a temporary housing unit.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Lou (# 118)

Not sore if epclusa makes getting covid worse.
I dont think trump will be elected again thank God.
Certain people get away with a lot and never get caught. Seems like bad people everywhere.
160 mass shooting in usa in 3 months. Schools. Churches. Restaurants parking lots even at funerals.
I'm quite scared when I go out now. I'm 75 , a woman and an easy target.
Getting hot here already. Luckily we had lots of rain this year.

Re: Kathi (# 110)

Hi Kathi, I'm wondering what the percentage of people catching covid after Epclusa or Harvoni and getting very sick are... The government here seems to think the pandemic is over, I really don't think so. Do you think Trump has a chance of being president again? Why do some people go to prison when others who deserve to go get a suspended sentence and a slap on the wrist?! Getting cool over here now. I think better than hot days! Take care Lou.

Re: Kathi (# 116)

Great to hear from you. I can relate to what you're saying. So far, I've had four COVID shots, and luckily, I haven't caught the virus. Recently, I had to spend four days in the hospital. I was watching late-night TV – I can't even remember what I was watching – but I had one of those body jerk reactions when I was nearly asleep. Anyway, I fell off the stupid chair in the place I was staying, and I thought I had broken ribs. It turned out they were only bruised, but it was still very painful, even three weeks later.

Also, I had a lung infection, so I received antibiotic injections in the hospital. I really didn't enjoy being in the hospital with so much COVID around. I think I caught the lung infection in the accommodation I was given for a few weeks; it wasn't a very good place. However, there's very little accommodation available since the floods. I agree that it's hard at our age to get motivated. Coughing with bruised ribs wasn't easy.

The American River sounds really nice. It wouldn't be good for us to catch COVID after everything we've been through. There is an antiviral prescription available if you test positive for COVID and are over 65 or have other health problems. I haven't heard if it's successful or not.

Anyway Kathi, I'm getting tired and might attempt to get a bit of sleep. Take care!

Lou
