I find it hard to get off the coach at times. I find I can complete one big task a day. I have been able to go to work this past week

Listening to all of you, and looking back on my own experiences, I can safely say that there is no real "normal" when it comes to Hep C Treatment, particularly the triples. It varies from week to week. I went from insomnia to sleeping sickness and back so many times I can't count them. I went from no appetite to ravenous almost weekly. I itched. I didn't itch. I crapped fire. I didn't crap fire. My hair got coarse. My hair fell out. My hair is growing back. But one thing that hasn't changed (yet) is UND. So there you go. Other than the fact that it will drive you crazy, these changes probably don't mean a whole lot. It's just the price we pay for healing. I began to feel like the wilder my side effects were the better the meds were working. If I was having a tough time, with wildly varying days and weeks, the virus must have been taking a bad beating. Now I go through my post treatment life, pretending not to care, but secretly watching my body every minute for any sign of trouble. So far everything looks good. And I am so happy and proud for all of us. Anyway, what I learned to do was adjust to the incredible swings during treatment, and keep up that weekly routine. After 36 rounds, it was over. Hang tough, my brothers and sisters, particularly those of you doing the long haul. It will end, and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Alan

Hi, Looks like were all different on this treatment. I have not been able to take a nap in 20 weeks, I also was on Incevik and I need a pill to sleep every night. I have been on Procrit for a month and now I have too much energy, is this normal?
