1. Friday

2. Saturday.

3. Pegintron was far far worse side effects for me than Pegasys - Pegasys seemed easy by comprison (although I wasn't taking riba then, Riba magnifies sfx I think).

1. Thursday

2. Any day - (depression) - good days, bad days. Worse after I completed tx ( the first    time round)
    
(Fatigue only the very beginning of tx. The riba makes me very wired. I feel like I  should be running in circles around my dining room table. The fatigue was crumby, but this wired feeling is not comfortable because its not a "nice energetic feeling", its a anxious feeling).

3. Pegasys


No procrit first tx.

This tx predosed riba for 3 months prior to starting tx in mid April. Did first procrit shot Sept 20.

No procrit as I was on a trial.  Had to take Riba reduction due to anemia.

A follow up question, Who is also taking Procrit for the anemia and in what week did you start after starting treatment.

I had started in week 5 @ 40k and through rest of treatment.

I agree that any kind of stress amplifies the sides, I have a theory it's due to the cortisol released during stressful times interacting badly with the tx meds.

I really tried to micromanage my sides by trying to avoid stress during peak concentration window (sorry, I think I'm repeating myself!) but unfortunately I couldn't micromanage it all and got hit a few times out of the blue.  

So many variables, so little control!

I started out with Friday PM injections.  After finding that Monday and Tuesday seemed worse than the weekends, I got permission to back it up to Friday AM and then to Thursday PM if I wanted to.  I have stayed the the Friday AM dosing, but I think that stress at work was more of a factor than the timing of the dose for me.  

1.  Friday AM

2.  Sunday, but every day was bad at one time or another.

3.  Pegasys
