Off the rails now
I shot drugs one time in 1973. Didn't like it and never did it again. In 2000, I found out I had hep C. In 2022, it blew up on me. January of 2003 they drained two litres of refractory ascites. In May, seven litres. and seven more every two weeks. In July, legs swelled up. Was in hospital for nine days in August. Am I crazy to worry about long term side effects from Epclusa?
Hi
. You are not crazy to worry about anything. It is always good to do your research so you can be prepared and better advocate for yourself. Here is a link to an article about Epclusa that includes a discussion about the potential side effects: https://hepatitisc.net/clinical/epclusa-guidelines. Though some side effects might linger for a while after treatment ends, most community members have reported no longer term effects. Have you started treatment since writing this? If so, how are you doing? Thinking of you and wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
