First of all I want to tell everyone some good news..... 6 wk blood work showed viral load NOT DETECTED!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo. I am very thankful to God and the meds for that.
But as I am starting wk 9 I am really struggling to even function. Is anybody else having a hard time functioning? I am totally wiped out all the time, my legs cramp and get so painful I cant hardly walk. My mind is really foggy ( more than usual lol ), I have a hard time making a decision or thinking clearly. I have not gained any weight but I feel like a blimp. I feel so bloated and just plain blahhhhh. I am just wondering if anybody else has been feeling like this. I have a few other health issues but I am curious if some of this may be due to the meds.
Thank you all for being a place I can vent to and,
I pray that every dragon represented here gets slain and tossed into the lake of fire forever.
Good luck to you all and God bless,
edman

Congrats on reaching undetected edman!!!
As for the problems, I myself did not use Viekira-Pak. But what you describe has been described by others here on V-Pak. I hope those problems will all go away for you post-treatment. In my case (Harvoni+ribavirin), ribavirin was to blame for any negative side effects I had. All I can blame on the Harvoni is the "Harvoni High" (which was very welcome). Be thankful you don't have ribavirin to contend with.
good luck!

Hi Edman,
I'm on Viekira pak and ribas. I haven't been able to function since week 2. I was hospitalised and my ribas taken down from 5 to 3. I just seem to absorb RIBA more. My lowest point if non functioning was around RIBA anaemia but because you're not on ribas and I am I can't say for duster if they're sxs. However, they probably are. Have you told your Doctor about them? Also you are 3 weeks away from finishing, can you make it to the end?So close. I'm a week behind you.
Maybe I am having sxs to the viekira it's hard to say but I am easily exhausted, blurry brain ( not unusual for me though)! Heavy limbs. Shaky? Cal :)
