positive side effects?

[Roberttherock]

This is my third tx, so far it has been very different then the others.  I started on Aug. 7.   I have been plagued with arthritis in my hands shoulder, knees and back.  All these symptoms have ether totally or mostly subsided.  I am getting the expected side effects but they are much less intense than in my previous experiences.  I was just interested if anyone else has had a similar experience?  Also, has anybody taken the 4 week blood test yet?  Just interested to get some data on how effective it is in the field.  The way I feel right know I would be devastated if my viral load was not low enough to continue.  We all know about hep.  There is not always a direct relationship between your health and how you feel.  I really enjoyed reading all your posts they were very helpful.

Since starting incivek triple therapy I have notice a difference in things as well, for the better. Aside from the sides from the drugs, I think if I clear I am going to feel so much better. Haven't had any body aches, headaches I still get but no where near as bad as I felt before tx. I do believe the Hep C virus was doing much more to our bodies then we thought.

You will do great. Almost everyone has gone UND in fourth week. I was detectable but <43 and I started out with a viral load of 14,900,000. That is really high so I bet you'll be fine. I have had a lot of cramping in back and legs. The sides for me on this treatment are much worse than the others and they started quickly within the 1st week. Good luck to you!!!
