Hey Dave, yes 5 left! Speaking of muscle twitches, I have that too but not as bad as the tingling. I can suggest to you to go to see someone in the oriental medicine and go for a round of herbs and acupuncture. Acupuncture should work great For we have, I'm planning that as well.

Yeah, I got the impression it was a time and hope for the best scenario, lol, after searching the forums and Google. Mine is more motor then sensory which seems a little less common. I just twitch (small muscular convulsions) in the shoulders and legs here and there. The nice part is I can easily pass it off as hiccups to the uninformed. I was hoping six weeks of drug detox would cure it but cest la vie. I'll gladly take it if I get SVR in exchange. You should be receiving that last box of darts anytime now. Five more shots to go, yes? Good to see you getting close to the final stretch. Best, Dave

Anyone have experience of whether it typically goes away post treatment? Thanks! Dave

Hey Dave, another thing we share...
Pins and needles in my extremities and lately painful skin! I started taking B12, got a little better but now my skin hurts. Doctors say peripheral nerveous system can heal itself but I'm not sure. I've developed this last time around and there is an article online that relates interferon directly to the nerve damage. You try to heal one thing and damage other...I've read that Cymbalta decreases the discomfort but again, drugs against drugs concept...
