More on incivek

Another good thing about incivek (besides the undeniable fact that it works awesomely at clobbering the virus) is that in comparison, ribavirin/interferon treatment is only a mild annoyance. Nausea? "Flu-like" symptoms? Random aches and pains? Vague sensation of having been poisoned that persists for several hours after taking the meds? Bah, humbug: it's all nothing.

Energy levels continue to increase. Walking is easier (but not easy yet!) On the other hand, more insomnia, intermittent and random headaches, and occasional drowsiness are still with me. AND I am getting more and more irritable and short-tempered by the minute. I am sure there will be more in the next 10 weeks. I am only glad that--so far--I do not have to go through the full-length treatment which would add another 24 weeks of riba/interferon on top.
