Diagnosed HCV type 1 40 years ago at 16 years old
I am presently awaiting approval for epclusa and I do hope it doesn't take long. I have been noticing many symptoms that I did not know where due to the hepatitis C. Since I contracted hep C at such a young age, I don't really know what it's like to feel I've always felt tired, flulike symptoms, digestion issues, depression, bone pain, and many other issues. But recently I've been having "spleen attacks" and issues with eating with poor digestion. Also, having issues being cold to the bone not getting blood to my extremities causing horrible wounds on my knuckles that don't want to heal, many issues that I did not know where connected to hepatitis C. I believe that my liver has gone from stage 2 to stage 3 with these most recent acute symptoms and just awaiting treatment so that I can feel better and do daily life.
