Although there are many people who report post treatment problems, there are many who don't. Fortunately, I recovered completely after both treatments. It took up to two months to shake off all the effects but I returned to normal. However, after having hcv for about 35 years and the cumulative effects over all those years, I'm not suree what normal should be. One piece of advice that I would offer is the approach that you might use with the doc. If the first words out of your mouth are 'Doc, I've spent time on the internet comparing my experiences with others...and they seem to think....' You might lose the doc right there. It might be better to arm yourself with objective information from medical studies that you can find and then talk about yourself primarily. Good luck. By the way, who is that guy in your picture?
