Hi jesusismyrock,

Hope things go well for you. Hubby did not have hep c, so no info.

It might be helpful for you to call the doctor's office with any questions or concerns.

Best wishes,

Mary

Hi. I've recently completed 12 weeks of ,zepatier. Had some joint pain and some stomach upset but can't remember any tingling sensations, anywhere. Can't remember anything like that mentioned in the possible side effects list. Maybe worth asking your nurse, consultant or g.p. . . The treatment has been successfull and my viral load is now undetectable. That was 10 weeks since completion. Was tested again last week and the virus hasn't come back. The zepatier was quite easy to tolerate and side effects didn't get any worse as the weeks went on. I was a little headachy at times, I was tired most of the time and the joint pain receded after around 6 weeks of course. Take care.

Heyy thanks for the awesome message and feedback. The tingly feeling went away thank goodness! I am only feeling fatigued but I started going back to the gym and doing easy work outs. I’ll be done my 9th week in a few days. The only thing is that my doctor said they won’t test me until 4 weeks after my treatment is done. I think I’ll just go get my blood checked at week 12 on my own. Well thanks for the message. Awesome and congrats to your successful treatment!!!
