Here are some interesting observations: each day, I walk from the MAX station to my work and back, about 2 km each way. Before I started the treatment, it took me a little less than 20 minutes and I arrived fresh and comfortable. Now it takes me more than 25 minutes, and I am out of breath, winded and generally miserable at the end of it. GAAAAH!
A change in timing: moved my ribavirin med times from 0900 and 1700 to 1700 and 0100, leaving incivek times the same. Ribavirin makes me drowsy (and somewhat nauseous) so better to do at night. Helps me sleep...:)
There are two teams working on Hep C vaccine, and both promise one within 5 years. wonderful news, if it pans out, but of course we must not get our hopes up prematurely: such breakthroughs have been announced before, and if HIV research is any indication, optimism is not warranted at this point at least. Anyway, here and here.
