Im interested in other people who have genotype 1 a and there experiences with it. I have had the virus for about 17 years and started combination interferon/ribavirin treatment about a month ago, these drugs make you feel bloody horrible with all the side effects.
I can,t sleep now without sleeping pills and get horrible headaches,fatigue,sore and dry eyes,and aches in the body.
Depression hits occasionly as well as irritability plus just this horrible feeling in the body
My neutrophil white cell count has dropped so much I caught a bacterial infection which im now on antibiotics for , and other times I find it difficult breathing the first weeks its like someone has poisoned you. Im not sure whether I can stay on these drugs the whole 48 weeks, its a shock the side effects are that bad.
