I have just been able to get about and around my daily life, I  am  with Hep C genotype 2  been on  Ribaviran  & Peglntron. since Oct 2009,  Trust me I was the side effect magnet  my body took on every side effect  possible, About the middle of Feb,  alot  of the effects stopped  never been happier, But i am still having  nausea loss of  smell and taste for food, sometime  I have 0 energy, no matter what I force myself to walk as much as possible. My question is I am now having body aches so bad I can not stand to be touch  this has been going on since Tuesday of last week.  Should i be concern at this point.  or  just contact my  Doctor.  I wish everyone the best. Thank-you

The doc may give you something for the pain. I had something for headaches and Xanax for anxiety. I'm all for sleeping through the whole thing. If your a geno 2 you should be close to done. Hang in there.

It sounds to my like the typical 'I feel like I was hit by a truck' side effect.

I remember that the different side effects would come and go. They would kind of rotate.

I wish you all the best on finishing treatment. Take it easy and don't force yourself so much. Listen to your body and rest when you feel the need.
