Off the meds for a week now

Finished my 24 weeks of triple last week, slowly feeling better stil have sore muscles and legs. Once a day I'm getting the clogged ear feeling. I did a year of infergen back in 2007 and after three days i was back to normal. Seems to be taking longer this time. How's everyone else feeling a couple weeks after finishing. Joe

Congrats to you Joe!  I finished tx on dec. 30th, so just five days post.  I haven't noticed much difference in how I feel yet.  Still tired, head still pounding.  The only improvement is not having to take 17 pills a day and that is wonderful!   Gerbil- I too have llama lashes and have lost so much of my hair I am going to get it nearly shaved today... just not enough left to save and I want to start fresh.  I will get my first post pcr test end of january.. here comes SVR for all of us!

I have a fee weeks left on tx but just wanted to add this to my watch list in case I have something to add post tx.  Am also interested in others responses.  Hope you feel better soon.  We need someone with frijole's energy to creaet a spreadsheet to track post tx recovery and symptoms.  Can't seem to find enough info on that.

Hi,
I am a little over a month after finishing my shots, will be 4 weeks away from last Riba on the 7th. Did triple with incivek. Muscle aches, sometimes severe joint pain that lasts for several days. Also get bad headaches, have sinus issues, a clogged ear that pops in and out but sometimes goes away, skin issues particularly on my ears and near my camera. I still miss some of my hair (although I have Llama lashes). Insomnia city. Mentally, I am not what I once was. I have trouble spelling things that would once have been no problem, am "a little drifty", and think stress is affecting me much more than it once did. I am sure I forgot something but hey.
Hope to be SVR in 5 mos! Thanks for asking the question, Joe I too am interested in the responses.
Take care, G
