just got initiated by BOCeprevir!!!

Where's the imodium???  This is the 3rd wk since starting the BOC; I knew it was coming. Of course it didn't help that I ate 1.5 pounds of King Crab legs, corn-on-the-cob, watermellon, and an early orange-sherbert, night-cap, ice cream cone.  Hope everyone is enjoying the 4th!  Salute to all you veterans!

I think the PIs tend to affect the appetite and digestive system if the other two didn't already take care of it. I added the PI at week 16 and that's about the only side effect that I noticed that wasn't there before. I drink shakes and if I'm really lazy, Boost or one of those other liquid meals if I really don't feel like eating. Doesn't sound like that is exactly your problem right now. Quite the opposite! Hope your feeling better.
