I am almost 3 years post treatment with Harvoni or Hep c. I did 12 weeks of treatment, was severely ill with horrid symptoms during treatment. Was cured of hep c. But I never lost the long list of symptoms/reactions to taking harvoni. I am left with many side effects. Severe back pain, muscle, join,bone pain, tinnitus, head aches, brain fog, chronic fatigue, skin problems and that is just what I can remember at this time. I feel like doing treatment destroyed my life. I had a low viral load and no symptoms of the hep c. If I could go back in time I would NOT treat. Now I can't get any doctor to truly take me serious about the symptoms I am left with. anyone else out there with my same side effects

Which of your symptoms bothers you the most?

Hi ramo
@ramousually
depending on my humble knowledge, I know that doctor used to discuss with his/her patient (before going into action and completing the treatment) the adverse effects and the side effects of each treatment and drugs that should be taken after treatment and the purpose of each drug in use. Beside many pre-operative tests should been conducted and performed to show the tolerance of the body of the patient. So I believe if you visit your doctor who performed the treatment and ask him/her help you and explain to you the reason behind the long list of all symptom/reactions to taking harvoni ( you do not have to abide by my opinion) that might but not sure help getting you better solutions. I hope you feeling well and good luck!
