update on tx experience

[ribman]

took shot 20 today.my first 14 weeks were not unbearable, but i experienced most of the  many bad sides.(rash,anger,insomnia, the feeling i just drove 600 miles everyday after 3 or 4 pm,dry skin) shot 15 was a bit better and the sides have diminished to a tolerable level over the past month.i hope this gives some hope to those in the throngs of the painful beginnings of treatment. did anybody else start to feel like the treatment was more manageable about the 15th week?

Hi Ribman,  I am not as far as you are but only at the end of week 4 of triple tx w/ Inc.      I would like to say that this week has been a breeze.  Not so that I am feeling Fabulous, but I can say that most of the sx have subsided.   I still have the normal diarrhea that comes with the INC, but Imodium does its job and so does baby wipes and diaper rash creme.    However, my energy level as increased some,  my HMG or WBC have not dumped yet and next monday I go for my 4 week labs.   Praying for UND.    I just pray that my SX stay like this, I am going to keep a positive mindset, and pray for the rest.    I hope you stay at peace with the SE as well.   Were all striving for the same result & reward :)    Keep Hangin on !   Carrie
