It's ez to worry some days when you get a trigger to remind u you're treating. I can feel so good I have to set alarms for reminders, and a week later sleep 10 hours a day! Today I got a paper cut at a workshop n didn't notice til someone pointed out blood all over my papers. I'm on Promacta n waited to bleed to death internally. Lol now. But I had to work hard to snap out of it cause I had to present in front of 400 people. Taking drugs can really be scary.
Keep fighting. Fear is our real enemy.

Jay,  if it is any consolation, I am going through same thing 2 weeks post tx.  I think my hands hurt at night which was a symptom pretx, my eyes are dry, i think my liver hurts.  I am sure, like you, I will SVR.. but the mind plays dirty tricks.  Don't worry and I will do the same.. keep us posted!

Of course you're freaked out. Its  PTS. Once something happens to us, similar things trigger our memories. Then the mind starts to fret and . . .

I don't think that you can really feel a relapse. I didn't.
That's why hep C can go unnoticed for so long.

Stressing isn't going to help, isn't going to give you the answer and can make you feel worse.
Try to relax.

Good luck

Right now you are the closest to being virus free ever since you got infected.

Cheers

I believe you were treatment naive, no cirrhosis, right?  Your chances for SVR with triple therapy with Incivek are really, really high.  Don't worry.
