Day2 of Treatment

1st shot Wednesday night.  I guess not too bad.  Went to work today felt ok some indigestion and a bit of a head ache.   I realize no one has the same exact reaction and this seems "normal" for lack of a better word.  I am so glad I found this forum on Day 1.  I am also taking Eltrombopag for my platelet count along with the pegasys and ribavirin.  I did see that the indigestion is another side effect and taking zantac or prevacid is ok.  This just seems like alot of chemicals.   Is there anyone else taking the Eltrombopag along with their treatment?
