Vitamins A, D and B3

What's the deal with these supplements? Are we (hep C +) supposed to avoid them entirely, use them with certain restrictions, or what? Can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere. Asked my GP if I should avoid B3, use it in moderation, or...? His reply: "I don't know" ... which I respect, because it's a lot better than, "yeah, whatever." And there are a lot of things he does know. Just not this thing, vitamins A, D and B3 in the context of hep C. Anybody?

You're just getting the pre-PCR jitters now Rocker........we all get them.  Believe me.  I still get them 2 1/2 years later.  It's very normal.

Probably your body was just reacting to all the changes going on in it trying to rid itself of the poisons and breathe some good clean air.  Makes sense to me that that is a lot of work to do and that is why you were feeling so poorly but that now it's over.

I do not believe it would affect your SVR one way or another. You might have been actually having some sort of IFN withdrawl or something like that.

I wonder why i didn have these SX at all tru TX...im thinking the meds proberly are leaving my body all at once,i wonder if this will affect the SVR outcome,if most of the relapses happen within the first month after EOT,im thinking it should not matter anyway,im also wondering if lingering 6 month RIBA after TX has ony outcome on SVR...i cant  see this either as most relapses happen within 30 days....so i guess the faster the meds leave the better??

Was there any chance you were still anemic Rock cause that was just what happened to me when my hemo was really low. I had no idea your head could hurt so much and fainting is actually painful........

Whatever it was I'm really glad for you that it's gone finally!

I don't want you to get an ulcer Rock.....take it easy, take it easy.....that's all. You didn't offend me at all but I hate to see you get so worked up over something so trivial as this.
