 That sounds like a good plan to me. And after you've successfully completed treatment your body will be able to take better care of you since it won't have that Hep C dragon beating on it anymore. Good luck Teri! smile

PS: My sisters name is also spelled Teri.

HI Teri, great start... apart from almost losing your dogs and shutting yourself out!   biggrin

Sounds like you`re doing all the right things to minimise the side effects and you`ll soon settle into a routine with taking your daily pills.  Make sure you always take your ribavirin with food.

You`re on your way... good luck!

hi all!

Started treatment yesterday, so far mild headaches, mild waves of nausea and brain fog. Drinking lots of water and 6 small meals meals a day. Just went to walk the dogs for their daily walk, walked right out with them without their leashes, thank God they came back when I realized! Forget my keys, but didn't lock the door ha!

So far side effects are minimal and I'm excited to get this over with! 

 

Teri
