Is this normal to want to do nothing?  I am only into this 10 weeks I went from Active to sitting in bed getting up for awhile back to bed.  I can only manage 34 hours a week at work.  Please someone tell me this is worth it in the end my viral load was 200,000 when I started wasnt bad but I want this out of my body did I make the right choice?  Any advice?

I know how you feel.  The first 15 weeks were the hardest for me.  I was on triple for 12, then peg and riba for 12, it does get better when the Incivek is stopped.
At 3 months post tx I am UND and hoping for SVR.  It does get better, I am very glad to have treated and to have found this forum.
The people on here helped to keep me going when all I wanted to do was stop.  Hang in there.

@ orphanhawk re excerise - my hubby used to take me for slow walks.  On one he crossed the road and went ahead and I turned the corner - we were both looking at the ground and didn't notice we'd parted.   Of course it wasn't easy for me to look around, and when I did I had to yell out of him ... then I literally collapsed on all fours on the pavement laughing and trying to 'hold in' all that excess water I'd drunk.

@Ladyfox - I took 6 months off work, but another workmate did the tx while being a 'trainer';   he looked pale and tired and 'frenetic' - I knew it took every ounce of energy to concentrate on his role; he just slept early when he went home - he got rid of the virus.  As my lovely specialist said 'do whatever it takes'.

Hi Lady! I did receive the pm you sent with the numbers and will pm you back, but you might want to post them on the thread too, because it's good to have multiple people looking at them. I'm clearly not the most knowledgeable member of the forum (I wish I was), and I could miss things. We have some incredibly knowledgeable members here and many more extremely caring members, and most have some degree of both characteristics, but it helps a lot to recognize where each person's strength lies. You will figure it out over time.

I'm also not too familiar with the Victrelis part of the tx, as I've been on the Incivek tx, but others can help more with Victrelis-specific issues. Now I'll pm you.

Only made it 4 hours at work today I think not working full time really hard for me I have worked since I was young!  It maybe hard because I work on a computer all day I am thinking to much about how I feel!  I have never felt the virus I am just worried someday it will excel.. I posted my numbers let me know if you got them I am new on here and I am not sure how it all works exactly.
