I'm having the same symptoms after treatment.  I want to eat all the time.
My thighs are weak also.  I just got tested for the second time confirming
I have hypothyroidism (low thyroid).  I didn't have it before treatment.

I ate an omelet, a hamburger and various kind of candies including licorice and oh yeah...pretzels. I figure the way I used to drink; anything I eat cannot be as bad for me.

I like watching what people say about eating and saw your answer.  
I read Pegasus drug warning and didn't see inflammation of the legs.  It's like
edema, weakness in weird places.  Like inside the thighs.   It's a different kind of inflammation.  I'm questioning if its even related.  And what did you
eat today? :)

when I put a little pressure on them, they feel shaky/unstable. Like I just can't do what it was I wanted to do. No problem walking, but any more stress and it just doesn't want to work.

What else do you feel in your thighs. I get you they feel weak but do they feel shaky or unstable. Sore? Crampy?

Not to worry, the samething happenend with me too. I wanted to eat everything that tasted good. But since a month has passed it has slowly gone back to normal. I think when your on the incviek it kills your taste buds and food seems like blah. Just be happy you have an appetite.

I'm not even one week off treatment and my taste buds are starting to work again. I'm hungry all the time. I lost almost 20 lbs. during triple therapy w/Incivek and couldn't eat much. What I did eat I could hardly taste. Now I think about food all the time and I'm spending a couple hours a day cooking meals to satisfy my cravings. I'm keeping the actual food intake to a reasonable amount because I don't want to gain a lot of fat during my food honeymoon.
