Week 6 Triple Tx w/ Inc SX ~ Headache

Hi Everyone,   Would just like to hear of some imput, if anyone can remember in their TX on as the weeks go by if the SX get worse.  
I am in the middle of my 6th week with INC.    Seemed like the first 3 weeks were horrid with sx and then tapered off for a week or so.    Now on week 6, and noticed that the fatigue, is getting really crazy.   Headaches are starting to come on more frequently.   I went to the chiropractor today to see if my neck was out, which it was but I had horrible knotting in my shoulders & neck muscles.   Sometimes it seems really hard to even get a breath.  Usually at 4 or 5pm I hit the wall and just fall apart with my irritability, until I just flat pass out.   My HMG & WBC have been pretty good but I noticed they are dropping, and will be tested again on Monday for my 6 week labs.      
This is such a journey, and I am thrilled to have the chance to slay this monster, but it is really hard  on some of us.   Looking forward to hearing any input.   I know that everyone has different sx , but was just curious as to the headaches.       :)

my sx did not start for weeks. the doc stared to even question if i was even doing the meds, THEN IT HIT!!!!! i hit the bed, and was so sick some days i would only get up to set down again and say there all day. i wounder at times if i should have taken the red pill and stayed in the marix . But it is all for the good the zombie life, i now live. the funny part of it all is that i am willing to do it all again. that will be after xmas time .the headaches, anxiety attack,being deathy sick,was just so much fun you could say it was a Riba party.HEY !!!  I did not get hvc from being smart. I am now going to get well from loking at tx smartly sx is the rewards we get . keep your head up no matter how hard it feels..

I have had the headaches from the get go and a chokey feeling in my throat which I have no  idea what that is unless I am working myself into a whopper of a anxiety attack, I was kind of hoping since I am almost done with 5 weeks that some of the sx would let up, oh yeah discovered that tucks also works on the rash lol I was scratching myself to death when I was in the bathroom and was reading the tucks jar and thought hey it says for itchiness so I tried it ha stopped the itch in its tracks, as you can tell I am really getting desperate to find things that work. I think anemia also will cause headaches so when you get your blood checked that might be the reason if you are anemic, wish I could help more.
but know we are suffering with you...anne oh yeah the  feeling in your chest knotty shoulders and that sounds like nerves to me
