Hi Pepsi, that sick feeling isn`t very nice at all, I remember it well, although it did get a lot better for me after the first few weeks of tx.             

This link I`m giving you is for a guide to dealing with common side effects, and if you scroll down you`ll find some tips on ways to cope with the nausea and also the tiredness.  Hope it helps...

http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/patient/treat/side-effects-single-page.asp

It can`t be easy for you working full time, let us know how you get on with your next lab results. 

Best of luck, keep going, day at a time!  smile  ~ Jill

Hi Pepsi,

We know what you're going through. It's hard at times but concentrate on the end result. I assume you're getting a VL at the end of week 4, then starting Victrelis. Keep us informed and best of luck.
