For Hepatitis C "I have genotype 1 Hep C. I have had it for 8 years. I am starting my 4th week of treatment. The first few days, I noticed that my mind seemed foggy, and my eyes were blurry even with my glasses on. I actually had energy up until week 3. I have been very tired, and it has been hard to focus. I have had terrible insomnia since about the second week that has only gotten worse. I am very tired, but the insomnia intensifies the fogginess and fatigue. I've noticed that I get a little nauseated, and my stomach hurts for a couple of hours after the meds, but then it goes away. I hope this helps."

For Hepatitis C "I am 58 and was diagnosed about 6 months ago with HCV- Type 1A. Anyway... long story shortened- I am now finishing week 4 of Zepatier. Just got back my blood tests for week 3, and all tests came back normal, including the ALT and AST, which were very elevated months ago, prompting the HCV test. More importantly, the HCV virus is now undetectable after 3 weeks of treatment. I had a viral load before of 4,600,000,000 when tested before treatment began. My side effects have been tiredness and itching at night... mostly the scalp area, where the Lichen Planus was very active already. I have noticed that I do have some blurry vision, but the joint pains I had been experiencing the past year prior to treatment have lessened, and my hair is growing and thickening (was dry and brittle due to the HCV). I look forward to the end of treatment and highly recommend Zepatier! Thank you!"

For Hepatitis C "I am a 20-year-old female, one of the youngest patients my doctor has ever treated! Thankfully, being pregnant helped me detect it! I'm on my 3rd week of treatment with Zepatier. The first 2 weeks have been fine, with a few headaches here and there, but now, in the 3rd week, I've become really ill. I'm not 100% sure it's from the medication, but I can't think of anything else it could be, and nobody else is ill. I have a really sore throat and dry mouth, my joints hurt, and I just have no energy! Luckily, I've not been sick, but I'm on day 2 of this illness, so it could go anywhere! I'm going to speak to my doctor on Monday if I'm no better and keep you updated, but I will keep on my medication so I can fight this!"
