Double dose of ribavirin

ptz
I'm on week 32 of triple with Victrellis. This weekend I took my ribavirin 600mg twice in a 30 minute period.  I admit this is not the first time I have done this.   But this time I feel like I have a lead over coat on and every joint in body hurts, stomach cramps..just feel like awful.  I skipped my next dose and have reduced 2 subsequent doses to 400 mg each.  Any comments?

That's a lot of metal - ugh.  Well I don't think we are going to SKATE through a winter with minimal bad weather.  Something bad will happen in April I bet

Glad you are well

I'm use to skating on thin ice(g), so loving the warmer than normal weather--but can't wait until Spring!
I decided when the amount of metal in my hips exceeded the amount used to make an ice skate, I'd have to give it up...:*)
