hello GodsGrl,

 I'm on week 19, I was just removed from treatment cause of low platlet counts.

However I have been undetectable since week 8......hoping for the best.

My eyes would dry out so bad and hurt in sunlight or bright lights...I bought artificial tears lubercated

eye drops, that helped me alot. If yor vision changes go to eye doctor..heard some bad storys

what this treatment can do to eyes....good luck  and hang in their

I started treatment on 2-1-13, took my first shot at 10:30PM took 2 ES tylenol 2 hours prior. Went immediately to bed, has high anxiety so it took me several hours to fall asleep. I work up about 2:30 with a high fever 101.5, drank some water and eventually fell back asleep. Woke with the chills teeth chattering about 4AM. Took 2 more tylenol, fell back asleep. Tossed and turned till after 8AM. Has fever and body aches. Slept 90% of Sat. Felt better. Eyes feel weird like pressure in them. Woke about 3AM drenched in sweat, fever broke. Woke about 8AM lower back hurting, have degenerate back disease. Took a ultram, took a shower, made the bed, husband is a Pastor, got his ready for Church (He's a needy one lol) decided to skip Church. Fell 100% better almost normal, a bit dizzy and getting a rash little clear bumps in between my fingers but way better. No appetite at all, food sounds gross, my coffee this morning tasted like a ashtray furious!

I am so happy it's not at all as bad as I expected!

I am a bit concerned about the pressure feeling in my eyes, has anyone else experienced this?
