Hello Alan, he was ok apart from being really tired and muscle aches in legs although the nurse kept saying it’s not one of the side effects but I read it can be so he took vitamins which helped as he works in construction, long days but he did it and just hope the end result is good for us, we go back in October 🙏🏼

That’s great really pleased for you, I was really worried before my husband started medication but not as bad as I thought apart from his mood swings 😜 wishing you all the best and I probably will pop up now and then to give any help I can, this site was really useful and knowing we weren’t the only ones , take care xx

Hello, this is interesting, I start treatment with Epclusa next week , pick up my meds on Monday but I have been told that I cannot take any supplements with this medication, I have always taken vits and herbs to help me with this condition. I can understand them saying no to herbal remedies but I was surprised at vitamins Did your husband take a general multivitamin to help him through each day? would be interested to know what he took and how much if you don't mind sharing this info. Thanks

Hello, we checked with the nurse and showed her the box, she said it was ok to take. My husband took the Wellman multi-vitamins, one a day, he didn’t take anything at first but due to having bad muscle aches in his legs he did, they seemed to have helped him, also we were told he could take paracetamol and cetrizine for hay fever. To be honest they don’t know about every medicine but the nurses always checked it out for us before saying ok, if this helps x
