Yeap. It seems like peg is not the option for me too. I need to work & support the family. After reading through Hep C forum on all those side effects, it is really tough....
Did you read HR's post re: cajim?
PS. My doc mentioned that if I tried peginterferon alfa-2a and the result was not good I could start Baraclude but the reverse was not possible.
My doc offered it to me as an option. Because of its side effects that may prevent me from driving or continuing to work, I stopped considering it.
