Billy,  Thanks for you post.    I have been suffering the entire week.   The INC has been relentless on me.   So sick.    Monday I start week 4 .    Just looking for the day that I can stop crying .    My AD are not working and it has been sheer hell.       You just gave me that extra little piece of hope to get me through.    Thanks for the post again, and I hope You stay sx-less through out the rest of this tx.   God Bless You,  Carrie

So happy to hear you are feeling relief after stopping the Incivek.  Between it and the 20 grams of fat I am always sick.
Yodennis, I am sorry for the way yo are feeling, I know it is the meds as I have had similar.  I see to get this way after the shot and it lasts for 3 to 4 days.  Try to hang in there and know that this is the medications
I hope you improve soon
My anti nausea meds are starting to make me sleepy more soon.  Just want you to know you are not alone and on the way found out that I am not alone.  It just feels that way and it is very scary some times
Wish you all the best

I've only posted 3 or 4 times since I started treatment 9 weeks ago but I read everything and have gotten a lot of help from all of you.  I still remember the thread about the mosquito.  Boy did I need a good laugh.  I am so happy to hear that finishing the incevik makes you feel better.  I have 21 more days on it and I have suffered every side affect there is.  I have wanted to quit many times but honestly it was the people here that kept me going.  Thank you.  Cyndi

Billy,
Thanks for sharing your wonderful news.  15 more days on incivek.  It's great to be counting days rather than weeks and what you are experiencing makes it that much more exciting!!!  I am  happy for you.

"I hate to state this and do not mean to be hyperbolic but I can't shake off the feeling that that I'm dying. It's the relentlessness of the lethargy married to the reactive and drug induced depression"

I hate to say this but I can relate to this statment.  I don't have the depression but visions of tan -- like a tan colored liver.  Not very vitalized.  I am on the Victrelis and glad I don't have to deal with the excessive side effects of the Incevik, but nonetheless, there is a void.

That is amazing and I am glad you have posted.  The incevik really took you out and I am glad you are recovering this quickly.

Outstanding. I was hoping for a shot to hgb after Incivek and I read it in the FDA approval posted by Hector. I have 4 days left...and I think that mentally I am getting psyched to feel better and already am.Only sfx now is a crazy itching, no rash, just itching. Iam cery happy for you. Good luck on SVR...

I am better without incivek but still having the shortness of breath. However, I would be in for 48 if it weren't for the incivek so I am glad it was there. You guys probably are too. Yodennis on the dying feeling; I've had that but not continuosly. There was a time before tx began that I had it almost constantly and I've had it sometimes during tx. I don't know what caused it but it my case it wasn't meds or depression. I hope you both are doing great.
