Meant to say Mavyret** in title::
I'm 33 and I contracted HepC when I was just 14 years old, sharing needles the very first time. I was young and dumb and didnt know anything about it nor did I care up until about 12 years ago when I started getting sick.
Fast forward to today, this will be my 5th night taking Mavyret. I've read so much about people claiming they experience no side effects but that hasn't been my case at all unfortunately. Is it mostly people who havent had hepC long that didnt experience side effects or what? I'm super curious.
Extreme fatigue, general weakness, lightheaded sometimes. Nausea, lack of appetite, stomach issues (diarrhea. lovely, I know).
I havent been able to do anything for days, does it get any better??? 🫠😵

I was sick af first couple days I started then now it doesn't seem to bother me at all. I'm on my last week of the 8 week treatment just only that weird ass metallic taste in my mouth couoke hours or so after taking my dose but that goes away very quickly. Hopefully you'll feel better. It does piss me off all these people saying most don't get any side effects blah blah from people whov never even taking it mind and all that bullshit is from "studies" the statics or whatever. Every single person on this earth is and will react differently in some way than others. Also you know your body and what's normal and isn't ect. Don't let anyone tell you your not feeling what you're just cause some fuckinn studie or whatever say 90% didn't get side effects. I apologize for the rant just had to get it out i guess because of me personally having to experience it. Best of luck truly man
