I know this is an old post but am wondering about your hair.  I am also 3 years post tx with Incivek, Peg, Riba, it was my second try with Peg, Riba and a polymerase inhibitor.
My hair has never recovered and I was wondering what you are experiencing.
I have long complained about my hair and everyone told me it would get better.

I recently went to a hair dresser and she was puzzled as she said she could see that it looked burned, tangled easily so that she could not get a comb through it.
I know this is vain, I have been telling myself that for 3 years.  I am just looking for some kind of help.
My nails are pretty bad as well.
Thank you
Dee

Good to see a familiar name.  My hair never was the same after treatment.  I'm 3 year post tx with triple med course.  I'm not as good as pre treatment but I think age is more the reason.  Who knows?

Hey there.   You might want to get a stress test to make sure your heart isn't the problem.  This is the very first thing I did after treatment?  Also, check your blood presure.  Both of these health issue can causes these symtoms.  
Get yourself checked out.  I was extremely active and relatively health before treatment.   Your system has experienced a shock to your system with this Hepatitis C treatment.  We all experienced on this thread  and take your symtoms serious.   We are all at an age where we should be doing exactly that.  Best to you

Hi Billy. I am 18months post triple tx (6months) with incivek.
I had bad anaemia since week 4. My white blood count is still not back to normal.
I still feel weak at times. I used to be really fit and healthy but now I tire easily and get the dizzy spells like I used to when the anaemia was bad.
I feel ok, but I know I am only half the person I used to be.
