fibromyalgia

i am having symptons like those of fibromyalgia, is this a common side effect while on tx?

yes, unfortunately that is one of the symptoms that can happen before, during or after tx.  Just one of the many symptoms on the HCV ala carte menu. It most likely will go away and then something else will probably replace it.
Hope you feel better soon.

If you mean soreness in the joints, I think that is fairly common while treating. If the soreness is so bad you can't move, you probably need to see a doctor.

Do make sure you are getting a lot of water while treating.  It is very important.Dehydration can do some wicked things and you need more water than usual while treating.
