Well today I actually felt the side effects. My stomach was upset most of the day and I did not feel good. So maybe it is catching up with me. Perhaps it is the build up of meds. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

The only thing I am experiencing and a bit of dizziness (from the ribavirin). From the Pegatron, I had a little headache but nothing too bad and with over the counter pain reliever it went away.
I even got up in the middle of the night and look at my injection pen to make sure it was pushed in all the way (it was, and my husband had sat with me and saw it go in also). So I don't know. Usually I get all kinds of side effects from medicines. But I am not getting that many from this.
I would say I am also more tired.
DJ count your blessings ... you are doing the Dual therapy & libergirl07 is doing the Victrelis, which from what I have read on the posts shared on the forum is unpleasant but nothing compared to the Incevick... Tired seems to be the word of the day... it's working... and just a note some weeks will be better than others just relax and let the meds heal your liver...
all the best MJ

Hi Everyone...I am new to this forum. I am genotype 2b and begin my Ribavarin/Pegasus treatments on January 14, 2013. So far except for a minor headache at times, I have not had any major side effects. Does this mean it is not working? As the weeks go on will new side effects begin?

The side effects are not felt by everyone. Some get one or two, some get all. It's like
any other medication in that they have to list all the POSSIBLE sides. Also, your age
and physical health can effect the Sx as well. The younger the better for treatment.

That's right, one day at a time. It is definitely doable and it is what it is....treatment.

advertised on tv have a list long enough to scare you away but they need to cover themselves.
Some weeks I just have aches in my joints after the interferon and it's gone by Monday. The most
common complaint for all is fatigue. Remember, it's not a bad thing to sleep and your body needs it.

Thanks Jill! Sorry it posted a few times. I think it's Because I posted it from my phone.
No problem, Nicole, it`s happened on other threads too so we`re looking into it.. I`ll delete the duplicates.

Hi Nicole, no, that just isn`t true. Side effects can vary quite a lot from person to person and some people sail through tx with minimal or even no sx worth speaking about at all, especially if they are young and fit to start with. The only way to tell whether tx is working or not is by the results of your PCR viral load test results.
Hold on to your positivity, it`s a good thing to have! ~ Jill

I keep coming across people saying if you have no side effects from TX that that means it's not working. Is there any truth to this? Damn Google messing with my positivity
