I have a friend who completed a course of Epclusa and says ever since he's done it his Arthritis is much more painful and suffers a great deal of fatigue and this is 5 months after it...
...has anyone else suffered from strange post-treatment side-effects that either went away eventually or are still around? if so what are they?
thanks

Hi,
I also finished a course of epclusa (but with ribavirin) on May 23rd. I, too, notice arthritic type pain in my knees and upper arms. I'm tired too...a lot.
I've developed a skin rash (itchy as heck) below my rib cage and that's really recent so I don't know if it would be a delayed side effect from Epclusa.
How's he doing? Sending good vibes...

I just finished Epclusa in August and I also have a itchy rash except it is on my chin and around my mouth. Just beautiful right? It acts like it is healing but comes right back. I just took my first post hep c blood test. Fingers crossed I am still showing undetected.
Nina Mae:
That's exactly right! My rash appears and feels like it's going (or even gone) during the daytime.
At night, it comes back and crazy itchy. I do have a tendency for delayed and weird things like this to happen to me so I wouldn't be surprised if it could be a delayed side effect...especially since you, too, have developed a skin rash months after treatment.
Other than that, I'm doing okay...hope you are too!
Nina

It literally looks like I have psoriasis on my face. I just got my first post treatment blood test results. Undetected!! I guess it's worth looking like I have a skin disease on my face. As long as the hep c is gone.
