Good luck w/tx - I'm a 1A on infergen (daily shot) and Riba (1000 - 4 pills per day) My VL was 34 million back when I started on 9/1/05. I'm had hep C for 20 years and am a 39 yr old female. I'm more then happy to report that the virus is now undetected (YEAH!!) I plan on staying on tx for the whole bloody 48 weeks just to make sure I kick it in the @##. I find the side effects to be tough, its gotten a bit better but I don't remember being this tired from the last time. Although I only did a weekly shot back then. Get alot of rest, drink TONS of water and have all your family & friends ready to help you help. Take the help and homemade soup - you'll need it.
I'm signed up for 48 weeks too. Currently heading to week 16 shot.
I tell you you will find this all ok. You will be surprised. AFter the few couple weeks you will be feeling much better - that is IF you even have any side effects at all to start. A LOT of people dont!
It's going by FAST for me. I never thought I would say that!
Just watch out really carefully for the anemia otherwise all will be fine. And if that anemia SHOULD come - make sure in advance your doctor is going to prescribe meds for it - once you get them into you ... you will see that you can make it through the anemia and onwards.
Best of luck Debby

Good morning,
I had the same sides yous had, and will do #2 shot Sunday. How long is your ride, 24 or 48 weeks? This a great place, with people who really care and are so helpful.
Here's to SVR in 2006!
