Today was a bad day on these mavyret. Stoma bag filling up like crazy with smelly baby poop like smell. My legs have been cramping for the past week as well, but i can do this. I've come this far and with only 2 weeks to go. It's been a bit rough and im certainly counting down. My blood work says it's gone already. Amazing!
Hello,
So far my wife is tolerating the Epclusa very well. She gets her first blood test soon.

So far my wife has has no side effect symptoms. Her first blood test is coming up soon. Will be great to be rid of the virus. One less thing to worry about.
Glad to read you're nearly done. Bravo for posting your experience.
So glad to hear that she got started and no side effects! Yay!!!!
Yes I wanted to share the experience for others who may be afraid and I'm an ostomate and if I can do it.....well anyone can.
Tomorrow will leave one week to go! I cant bellieve it! It was a bit rough but not anything i could not handle. If i had to work i probably would have had a harder time. Its all worth it in the end. No more Hep C. Now i can flnally put that off my shoulders. I found out in 1995 and its been a worry since. Gone now!! AMEN!!
Massive diarrhea last night and got dehyrated. Had to go get fluids at ER. I only have one dose left but im not going to take it due to this diarrhea. The blood work says im cured anyhow so im done! Over see the hepatologist on the 14th
My final review as an ostomate taking mavyret for the hep c is that it was not too bad. Diahrrea got bad a few times so eat bananas and potatoes etc.. the output was smelly and at times smelled like chemicals (probably the ingreidents in the meds i assume). Tiredness yes and good days and then bad days. I got by just following my body. If i felt tired i napped. I would say you might be able to push yourself and work but easier to just stay home.
Joints were hurtung here and there but not sure if it was the weather or the pills.
Overall i give mavyret a 10 rating as in ten being positive for an ostomate.
Congrats on finishing treatment. My wife had her bloodwork last week. She is undetectable. Yaaaa. She now has 8 weeks to go. So far no major side effects. She's a little tired from time to time... and that's it.
Thats great!!!! So happy for her! You had me confused with the name change for a minute! lol!!
