Cured but I have several side effects still. I finished my 12 week treatment over a year ago. I have severe bone and joint pain throughout my body. I have a rash and itchy skin, my thyroid is messed up and I now take meds for that, depressed, hopeless, and much more. I have severe fatigue and nap a few hours daily. I have difficulty concentrating( wife helping me write this) loss of interest in things I enjoy and explosive mood swings. We don't know where to turn. My wife even contacted the FDA. I'm unable to work and we've lost everything. In researching my wife found others with same side effects after treatment. Doctors won't help

I've had HCV since 1973. This is my 5th go round on therapy since 1999. I'm a four time non-responder, can't even get on a clinical trial!I cleared the virus in 6 weeks, but will continue for a full 6 months. All I can say is keep supporting HCV research, it's working!!

Hep C Geno type 2. On week 11 of 12. Taking with ribavirin. At six week lab virus was undetected. Insomnia is my worst side effect. Rashes, itching and irritability and tiredness. A miracle drug in my book.
