I want to thank everyone who posts and responds on this forum, really helps when I'm down. Here's my facts;
50 year old male, had Hep C prob since '73, Genotype 3a, Viral load before treatment 3.6 x 10^6. Failed init treatment in yr 2000( Rebetron/Ribivirin). Fibrosis was stage 1 grade ? same year.
Shot 24/48 of Pegasys. Count at end of wk 4 was 2200, negative at week 11. Really feeling encouraged by going neg, probably around week 8.
Sx:
Mild: Itch, rash, skin sensitive to touch. Upper right pain, I think gallbladder, maybe.
Moderate: Insomnia, quit to anger, really emotional - this can be embarrassing at times, it' pretty damn bad when Shrek can make you cry!!
Mod to Severe: Strange mental fatigue, not really depression.
Energy level zero, sleep 14 - 16hr/day. Really getting tough now, guess that why I'm posting.
Well, hope I haven't bored everyone to death with the details!
Anyway one thing I'm curious about is that I have no loss of appetite, in fact I've gained some. Anyone else gain weight?
Thanks, DH
