    yep that is almost half our household income. How do they expect us to eat? I have 2 young kids and their daycare cost would be my entire income. So seriously there is no reason for me to work because I would be working just to pay the daycare for when I work.

    It is so messed up here. If you get any help from the government you are seen as lazy but seriously without it most Americans would starve. Most of us are broke.

    By The Way I Only Had Hepc For 2 Years. So I had scarring that fast. My insurance almost would not help but my doctor fought for me.

    Hi I had small amounts of scarring of my liver but a moderately high viral load. The hep c was having a huge effect on my liver and kidney. I took generic epclusa, became undetectable and my liver and kidney began working completely normally in just 4 weeks after beginning treatment.
    If my doctor had not started me because I didn’t have cirrhosis, my liver and kidney would still be getting significant damage. I don’t know how to get data for that. But that is what happened to me.

    Also, I forgot to say that after 4 weeks my liver and kidney functions skyrocketed from before treatment. Everything in my blood test was completely normal after just 4 weeks. So the hep c was really effecting me, and once it was gone boom my body was doing great. I did show very small damage to my liver before treatment, not enough to be cirrhosis. So it was amazing that my liver began working so great in just 4 weeks.
    Good luck to everyone. This medicine is just amazing. It brings tears to my eyes to know that I have been blessed with a cure and that others can too.

    hi. Yes I took epclusa and my viral load became undetectable within 4 weeks. It’s 4 months since I began treatment and my labs are still undetectable.

    The side effects were difficult but worth it. Worst side effects were fatigue and confusion. I had fatigue almost all day long, and I would pass out mid sentence sometimes and if I sat for more than 10 minutes. The confusion would come and go. I would forget things like which day of the week it was. Having long conversations was difficult. It was difficult for my thoughts to continue that long.

    Other side effects. In the first month I had nausea. I had dizziness throughout treatment. So dizzy I had to lay on the couch and I couldn’t lift my head for about half hour. I also got a blister rash that would come and go. Occasional weakness too.

    Again, all of these side effects were worth the result of the treatment. I did not drive during the 3 months due to my extreme fatigue and confusion and I regularly had friends and family help with my kids and help take care of me.

    Good luck it has a really high cure rate so stick it out to the end. Also, I was told my side effects were more intense than some experience.
