10 weeks so so tired
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?
Your right more energy today but I learned my lesson taking it slow! I may surprise everyone and make breakfast! Have a great day.
I experienced what you are. I was on the couch or in bed a TON during the first 12 weeks (I had incivek too). After the 12 weeks I was able to do a little more but not much. I was able to work and that was about it. I quit making plans with people. My husband went to the grocery store a lot. I sometimes could go but not a lot. I finally surrendered and took this time to really take care of myself. I learned a lot during this time about a lot of things. I'm 3 weeks post treatment and this week I am finally getting some energy...not a lot...but it's a big step for me!
Keep us posted on how you're doing...you are not alone :)

Buying some tomorrow any thing is worth trying if you ask me at this point! Wish they would find a faster cure like just one time shot! Thank you for post.
it is a fight to the finish..I too have extreme fatique.and on my 23 week of 48 weeks .i have been taking 2 ginsing capsuls and that seems to help..I have also had some luck with oxmatriene which is a natural suppliment too. but I think the ginsing does about as good.
Thank you to everyone now I have another question I dont know how to reply on the forum to the chain I started with out making a new chain or is that how I am supposed to post on here?

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'.

I figured out how to get back to the Forum - Thank you so much for the advice and your support! God Bless
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.
I think fatigue may be the most common side effect of treatment.
Although tx makes us feel like all we want to do is lie around, I encourage everyone to try and do what exercise you can, as much or as little, when you can. It will help in the long run.
And don't forget to drink lots and lots and even more,water.
Good luck for a successful tx.

The fatigue could be from your hemoglobin. Do check on your numbers.
I found that Prilosec OTC worked great for my indigestion and acid from the meds.

Your right I am anemic they cut back the rib to 3 pills only in the morning. So nice to find out I am not alone. Family cant totally understand. All your response has touched my heart!
Angel thank you so much and its people like you I will help when I am well! God Bless you. Time to take meds now Blah hehe nite nite.
Thank you Dawn I am on the Vectilus I know I spelled it wrong my doctor says the rib vect and inerferon will be a 7 month treatment. Feels like a life sentence. I am finding out who my friends are. I will get the numbers posted tomorrow for some input. Sure a lot more traffic on this site I love it.
The picture of the baby on my Icon was to make others laugh its so cute lol but no babies they are 17 and 22 I work so I wont lose my car and pay my credit cards my poor husband it pulling the rest and he is out of town all week during the summer comes home on weekends darn construction! If I can get the tummie under control I think I can manage there are rough times I cry but God keeps me moving. I am reading the book called "The Shack" a man goes to the Shack and finds God loves him too awsome book refered to me by another hep patient.
Hang in there, LadyFox! I am almost 50 yrs, myself, and on my 14 th week with Victrelis. I am tired, and have hemolytic anemia. Last time I checked, my HGB was at 9.3, but I feel it will all be worth it, to get cured, once and for all- good luck
I forgot to tell you my liver has no scaring on the biopsy- I have had it since 2004 and the Viral load hasn't changed I dont know if its because I dont smoke or drink. I may have caught this helping a lady in a car wreck who is positive but who knows I have a tatoo on the ankle and ears are pierced crazy things we do when were younger! Nite and God Bless everyone see you tomorrow.
I cant get on the site due to System problems on their site says will be up tomorrow so I will post the numbers tomorrow so you can see them. I do know I am anemic but my issue seems to be Acid Reflex they are trying to get my insurance to approve Nexium but I suffered all weekend again. I am 50 so no babies here! I have learned one thing when I am through with this and get strong I will donate time to others who need help when I have extra time to give. Thanx to Shayne I found this site he is on here also and deserves a hug for telling me about it! Ok bed and pill time tomorrow I will post the numbers and info is helpful.
God Bless

Hi lady
If you are the same lady from the other site.
I think we are are different treatments, I am not familiar with victrulis. And from what I understood you are undetectable, that would be worth it.
welcome

Do watch the hemoglobin. It sounds like you are anemic and need to do something about it. Are you on triple? It makes a lot of us anemic pretty quickly. You should probably ask your doctor for a CBC and see what that HGB is. Believe me, I am on 39 weeks, work full time and it has been difficult. I cannot imagine raising a child at the same time.
good luck
