About to start Zepatier and would like to hear from others who are taking it or have taken it.

-How's it going?
-Did it work?
-Would you do it all over again?
-How are you feeling?

I was diagnosed 20 years ago with hcv 1a. I have lived with it this long with minimal side effects! But I have babies and wanted to rid myself of this disease so it wouldn't take me away from them earlier than necessary! A doctor suggested Zepatier and here I am 4:30am after the 5th dose and I feel yucky but not yucky-yucky. I had moderately severe stomach cramps/diarrhea about an hour ago. Then I felt a strong urge to vomit while all that was going on! My face was flush and I almost felt like I was going to pass out. I am.hoping and praying this passes but I feel the cramping and yuck coming back :( This just makes me sad because I NEEDED to be able to do this with little no side effects!
Ill keep ya posted.

Yes I would do it all over again. My last blood test I was virus free. I’m about to do another test and expect it to be also virus free. The cure rate is 97%. If you have ever known anyone who has died of liver failure you will complete the meds. The side effects are NOTHING compared to dying of this disease. Stay strong !

Each person will have a different experience with a drug.
Yes, this drug can cure Hep C.

The adverse side effects were intolerable for me. But maybe not for you.

I guess each of us must weigh the risks Vs the benefits. We all have different stages of Hep C.

One person could sail through it ...
Some will have joint pain and age 10 yrs from it afterwards.
Or develop liver cancer anyway, even with the virus gone.

I've noticed only two people posted updates on thier experience with it.

Where are the hundreds that are trying it or have finished it?
Where are their stories?

I'll check back in a few years, maybe by then we'll have a bigger picture.

I am finishing my 8th week of ZEPATIER with no side effect.
Only within the first week ( or two ) I was feeling tires and some headaches. Now, there gone.
For me it is not the drog who concerns me, it's the fact that I have ( and had before the treatment ) this awful brain fog, in a way daily tasks seems so difficult to be handled.

Other than this, I am OK.
I will go through it till the end as I am F4 and I cannot leave it uncured.
