I am also starting triple tx the week of the 12th with Victrelis. Right now I'm on the third week of the lead.

Good luck!  I'll be starting the triple tx sometime during the week of the 12th.  I already have all my medications, but my doctor is out of town and I want him to be around when I start.  I figure I've waited this long, another couple of weeks won't hurt me.  

I'm nervous, too.  I know i won't get ALL the sides, but wondering which ones I will get are making me anxious.  

Keep on posting, as I'll be only a couple of weeks behind you in kicking Hep C butt!!!

Oh, you did post!  You know I'm starting tomorrow too and I am nervous as heck, right along with you.  Not that something will go wrong but just that unknown "thing."  I think if there is one emotion I could get rid of, it would be anxiety.  We will be on the other side of it come Friday morning.  I'm kicking Hep C butt with you!!

Like every medication they tell you eveyside effect possible but that doesn't mean you gonna get them all, my worst sides are fatigue, I get sore throat once in a while, more like dry and my head is stuffed like a sinus infection. I'm on about seven weeks now, no rash. Just go into it with an open mind that your gonna kill this thing and deal with the sides as they come, it will be over before you no it. Good luck. Joe
