Epclusa Side Effects (Page 7)
(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 dealt with hepatitis virus for decades finally got to the point to where my justice system was not working right I was swollen my liver was sore and they came out with eclipsa I was put on it 4 months after the FDA approval side effects the first year were horrendous but it was well worth it I dealt with side effects for almost 3 years now I feel like I'm 17 or 18 again I'm 57 years old it's very important to stop drinking alcohol to eat right and exercise you have a second chance at life and it's well worth it the main thing is you have to eat healthy care about what you put in your body and you will feel wonderful again eventually I still have ear ringing but that's manageable right now I'll feel the best I've ever felt once again the main thing is stop drinking or doing drugs eat healthy exercise and take a nap everyday you might not be able to do the things you did when you were a kid but you will feel like a kid again eventually I'm 3 years since I was cured of hepatitis and liver disease hang in there and care about what you put in your body from now on

I'm almost 30 and was diagnosed 2 years ago with help c during my second pregnancy. I've read a lot about Epclusa and have read the reviews and forums. I'm extremely scared to start taking this medicine. My Dr says that my liver actually looks really good I'm starting to wonder if these side affects are going to out weigh the benefit of having an undetectable viral load? Please someone help me out who's around my age and has pretty healthy body other than the obvious hep c.

Re: Friendz4 (# 9)

Do you know if there is any info on people over 40 who are now suffering or have died from cancers after Epclusa treatment ,I doubt if there would be ,as I have not been contacted since doing the treatment 2 yrs ago ,nor did I have any support whilst doing treatment ,since treatment IV had continual infections numb feet fingers nerve damage painful legs and joints nausea breathing problems ,(lungs ),I've also attended 3 funerals in last 8 mths Epclusa treatment was one thing each person did ,all were reasonably healthy pre Epclusa,IV read a lot on how good Epclusa is,I find it strange that very little is told about side effects people are now suffering.

Re: Friendz4 (# 16)

Hi how are you going? Lou here from Australia are you still getting side effects? I sure am. I don't think they will ever go away now, my feet really painful plus numbness, really aching leg joints, anxiety, diagnosed with asthma couple yrs ago plus COPD. Now they have discovered two spots on lungs. It's so crazy I felt near normal before I was talked into Epclusa. Now I'm stuffed, they tell me not to smoke. OMG it's the first thing I felt like doing when they told me about spots on lung, I just about give up!!

Since doing tx no body has even rang me to see how things are going tried ringing Gilead what a joke !! they just deny everything. I've had so many skin infections antibiotics etc, every day I get body jerks or jumps, my dr hasn't a clue, just gets his info from liver clinic that put me on Epclusa, totally useless. Please let me know how you are going, just wish we could do something about the poison they gave us, wish I could turn back clock. cheers
