I am sorry you were unable to tolerate the Incivek and the rest of the tx. We are all different and are effected differently by the meds. Incivek is a very strong drug and is used by people of all shapes and sizes. You did not mention your height but since you are a male 90lbs seems as if you may have been a little frail prior to starting the meds. Your doctor should have been aware of your health status when the meds were prescribed. I know that my doctor and the others I have heard of run tests to ensure that you don't have health conditions that would interfere with the treatment. Your experience on the meds was not the norm as I am sure you can tell from reading the forum. I hope you have kept your doctor informed as to your health status since stopping the meds. If you have not you should contact your doctor pronto. Whether your symptoms are caused by the meds or not is irrevelent. Severe pains in the legs could be a sign of a blood clot but no one can tell over the internet. You need to see a doctor (in person) and completely describe your symptoms. There are also many treatments available for migraine headaches, but again you should see a doctor, get evaluated, and the two of you can then try to find something that works for you. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
