For Hepatitis C "My HCV was discovered 24 years ago when pregnant. My husband has it also. Different genotype, though. I was genotype 1a. He was treated years ago, but I delayed my treatment due to unknowns with his therapy. I finished my 12 weeks in December 2020. Viral load disappeared after 4 weeks. Symptoms included fatigue and lower back jabs on occasion. I was COVID-19 positive the last month. My remaining symptom 7 months later is a numb feeling in my toes; no tingling, burning, or pain (neuropathy ruled out). I am told it’s my body learning to live without HCV. That it may take a bit to be ‘normal’ again. Also, a diet I followed 10 years ago to lose 75 lbs. no longer works for me. My chemistry has somehow changed too, but with no health detriment except I’m unable to lose weight. I just keep active and try to be patient. I’m just grateful to be HCV-free with zero liver damage after 24 years. Thank you, Gilead."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "Well, I was diagnosed with Hep C and prescribed Epclusa. I am now 10 weeks into my treatment, and I feel absolutely fantastic. My energy level is back, I now get out of bed at 8 o'clock most days. The side effects for me were mostly a lack of energy that lasted for a couple of weeks and a bit of nausea, both were easy to get through, and now I feel like a new person. I would recommend this treatment to everyone who gets the offer. I am now 8 months clean from IV meth and heroin, and this medication has been great for me. To anyone starting treatment, good luck, you can do it."
