Well I feel achy and a bit unwell for 3 days after my shot. I seem to come around a bit more in time for the weekend.

Tiffmarie I have 3 kids (7,9 and14)  but I luckily have a very supportive husband. How old are your kids?  This week i  have been off work because of half term (I work in a Pre school) but am due back on Tuesday. I have told work not to expect me to be in much but I will see how I feel.

I am hoping that is how it goes with me. I am 28, and pretty healthy. im a single mom of two and about to get my rn liscense. I want to be able to work three 12 hour shifts and then take shot and rest for the other days. I have done four months of interferon and ribavrin with no significant effects

Congrats!

I remember thinking the same thing. I had lots of sides, but worked full time. I'm happy that you are having an easy go of it! xoxoKaren:)

I haven't had many side effects at all (will be doing injection #7 this week) but I was UND at 4 weeks and that is a very good sign! My doctor said someone people just tolerate it better than others. We are lucky.

Dopey, We all have gone thru same things.
Just like Biggy mentioned!
Find something to do to ease your mind.
I am on week 41 of 48 and was able to work
In the yard yesterday doing light garden work.
You are doing the deal. We can't do any more
Than this. After 41 weeks....I know it's working
As I am still SVR! Hang in there friend.
You got this!

Yea, get out. Your thinking too much about it.

I try to stay busy doing something to keep my mind busy. It's a long process were going through. Sometimes i get no sx after my shot and wonder maybe i didnt do it right..But all the worrying is non-productive...

Does the existence of having side effects or not have any correlation to how well the drugs are working?

What I'm trying to ask is I still feel fairly ok and haven't suffered from anything too bad (this was the same last time) does that mean that the drugs aren't working???

Oh gosh I think I need to get out I'm getting paranoid!!!!
