side effects of treatment
l am starting treatment for hcv in 10 days. i have been through chemo for breast cancer 10 years ago. i gather the peg/rib treatment will make me feel about as nasty as i felt during cancer treatment. i did well with that as i tried to keep positive and active. i have increased effexor dosage and plan to drink lots of water. i wonder if there are any other "tricks" to keep me as well as possible during the 6 mos i will have to be treated? my diet is mostly vegetarian and i weigh 110 lbs at 5' 5'. thnx babs
Everyone reacts differently. Many people are able to work, go to school and fare considerably well. Others have a hard time. I was mostly bedridden during my 32 weeks of treatment, but very quickly felt better after stopping.
Have a look at the health pages, there are a few pages with suggestions for tx.

Since you are already on the thin side, be sure to keep up your nutrition during treatment. You might have to work at that -- which is something I had to do too.
