Welcome aboard!

The fact you responded well to the 2 drug Rx bodes well for you on the triple tx.

I too did the incivek, and although the Sx are what I would call "quite uncomfortable" ,  it was certainly "doable"

For me the itching was the worst, and I found out near the end, it was mosly the riba. 

The two other kind of tough things were the anemia (I just had to learn to slow way down and pace), and the anal burning, which was quite intense a few times.

If you run into these and other side effects, ask around here.   We have been there, and can offer a few suggestions.

Best of luck to you,

Brad

Thanks for the warm welcome. Commonality can build strong hands. And that is a blessing to all. I hope to be able to help others also.

 

 

Greetings from chilly Northern Utah

Glad to have found this board. This is my 2nd round with treatment. The first time was 2005. I responded well to the Peg and Riv but the bugs came back. I'm really looking forward to the use of the Incievk (does that sound crazy or what?) I mean I'm excited with my odds being so much better for a cure. This is week 2

I look forward to learning and  sharing.
