Eight weeks on pegasys!

I have been on pegasys for eight weeks now. I got a test done the viral load went down by 51% (from 5000+ to 2500). I have maintained a strict diet of only boiled veggies and fish along with a small helping of roasted chicken. Also no smoking and drinking. But I have very low energy level. I also had a fluctuation in the platelets count and WBC (the absolute neutrophil count went down to 880).
I am happy but am at the same time worried cos I have been told that the viral load might increase. What precautions should I take now? Do you think Pegasys is on the right track?

How much was your base viral load and how much did it go down to? Also, my genotype is C. I dont know what to expect... do you take any tablets for liver. In my case I have fatty liver even then I dont take any medication for liver.

In my case, the viral load started increasing after week 36th.  I also learned that daily exercise helped to boost energy level.
