Just diagnosed with hepatitis C

So just diagnosed. I've got to pick up meds, Epclusa.
They are at a specialty pharmacy three hours away. My anxiety level is through the roof. I sleep a lot. And itch, my face mostly. My nose skin around my mouth, end of my nose. I have rubbed my face to almost sore. So I'm trying to learn what to expect.

Glad I found this group..

  1. Hi . I am sorry it took so long for your post to appear here. I came upon it in our Stories files, where it sat for a bit because it was too short for that section. So I converted it into a Forum post. I hope you don't mind. I wanted to check in and see how you are doing. Are you done with treatment? Is the itching gone? Sending lots of gentle hugs and the best of all wishes your way. - Lori (Team Member)


    1. You must have started on your meds by now.... hope all works out as it should.

      I just got diagnosed.... no symptoms... but do have some body itch.
