Smell and Vision

Has any body experienced smelling and vision problems?  Asking because, my smelling has gotten worse since beginning my treatment. 1B viral load 6 million when I started.  Thanks.

It's a very common problem unfortunately.........the meds make everything taste terrible and boy I can remember my sense of smell being so heightened I swear I could smell the meds coming out of me when I first started. That second part did go away eventually but the taste......just one of the bad things about treatment that you gotta deal with to get cured. It's worth it.

Often you are required to have vision checked,   taste and smell for me are both changed.

I am not sure what you are on, but yes they can be affected,

Best wishes
