How long I have been done with harvoni for 2 months now and since I've been done I've been hospitalized one time emergency now because of severe Facial Pain and swollen joints. My ankles are swollen like a balloon I am in severe pain with Facial Pain and joint pain as well as nerve pain down my legs. These are all during treatment pains and they are worse now then they were during treatment. The post treatments symptoms are worse than the ones I was having during the treatment period while I am hep C free I am suffering from all new issues and none of my doctors want to listen to me. They all tell me I'm imagining things and yet I'm not I feel like garbage I have a hard time getting out of bed I have no energy and yet I can't sleep and the pain in my joints so long with the swelling prevent me from doing anything during the day. Before I started my treatment my worst symptoms is that I would be a little tired but I would still be able to function today I can't even function. What a mistake it was for me to take this because now I have absolutely no quality of life. I also have no doctors that give a crap about anything I said. I am totally totally depressed I am in so much nerve pain down my right leg as well as my ankles swelling up and my right foot swelling up to the size of a balloon I have been on constant antibiotics for infections that I never got before and none of them are going away. I have no idea what's going on except to say that I was never this sick prior to harvoni and no one wants to listen to me. I blame harvoni, I blame the FDA and I blame Gilead. They knew exactly what they were peddling and all they care about is the dollar yes it clears that hep C but it also creates so many other side effects and all they care about is the almighty dollar. I can't even blame the doctors because I don't believe the doctors were told the truth. But I blame the doctors on if they don't believe the patients like me when I go in and tell them these are on the issues and they are related to the harvoni. They run all these kinds of tests and they say that they find nothing causing these issues, well all I can say is something is causing them. I'm telling you I believe the harvoni masks the symptoms. All I know is I wish I never took it it has totally ruined my life,,, wishing that I dont wake up because of all the problems I'm having today... I don't have a life that's worth waking up for..... No I'm not suicidal,,,, but I just don't like living the way I am,,, I just hate feeling sick and having all this pain and swollen joints all the time with all this pain,,, It's disgusting what they have done to me and the FDA should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this drug on the market. I just wish I could find a brave enough attorney willing to sue these guys in Vero Beach Florida,,, The VA allowed this to happen as well to many of us Veterans
