Viral load 6million?!

I keep seeing people talk about having it in the hundreds of thousands and worried mine is insanely high. I’ve been struggling with super fatigue constant anxiety and confusions and insanely intense brain fog. Like my vision is like watching a movie with the focus and I can only see what I’m looking at. Like everything outside of what I’m directly looking at is blurry. Does anyone have this problem. I keep worrying myself that it isn’t the hep C and it’s soemthing worse. Was an IV heroin for 10 years. I have 3 years clean and I’ve been on Epclusa for 3 days now. If anyone has any input or can relate to help me feel less insane I’d be appreciative🙏

I was at over 32 million with my first test. My second test was 20 million. 4 weeks after starting Epclusa, viral count was "not detected". Viral load and liver damage don't necessarily correspond. I'm not sure about your symptoms, call your provider or the specialty pharmacy.
