For Hepatitis C "I'm on day 34 and just got my 1st-month lab work. I've not had any serious side effects. No mood swings, nausea, or muscle aches...but I have experienced possibly a little brain fog and lazy feeling. The only thing I can complain about is a UTI/yeast infection, which I haven't reported to my Dr yet. I probably just need to drink more water while taking the meds. If it cures me, I can bear the minimal side effects!!"

For Hepatitis C "I completed my 12-week course of Epclusa a little over 2 years ago now, and I felt it would be good for others to know what may happen after treatment. I had a few side effects that impacted my quality of life - brain fog, insomnia (2 hours a night for a LONG time), diarrhea, headaches, and fatigue. Some of those symptoms were worse at times than others, but I managed. My symptoms were actually worse after treatment was complete, with my sleep not normalizing for about 12 months, although it did slowly improve. My brain fog persisted for about 18 months, with my other symptoms clearing up within 18 months. I was clear of the virus after 6 weeks, but continued the full 12-week course. I am 47 (44 when I started the course) and active, but my fitness took a real hit during treatment and for the next year; it was a struggle to do much. I am now at a point where I feel very sharp-minded again and back to normal. The symptoms are manageable, well worth it for your future. Good luck, everyone."

For Hepatitis C "I have 18 pills left to finish my 3-month program. In the second month, the doctor told me that my liver was 98% cured. I have no idea how long I had hep C. One thing that I have noticed is brain fog, I can't remember anything that is told to me and have to have people write notes for me as reminders. I just got a call from my doctor telling me my uric acid has elevated and I need to take another med as it could cause kidney stones or gout, which I have never had. I don't have any other side effects that are bothersome."
