Hey Angie, I, too, have the dried out feeling/headaches. Mostly in the morning as I back off the water in the evening so I don't add to my sleep woes. I try to get a 80 or so oz a day. Seems frequency is as important as volume though. Hope you find what works for you and your sx are minimal! Tim

On day three and my chief complaint is headache and a dried out dehydrated feeling. I've been drinking plenty of water though. Feeling a bit rougher than I remember feeling the last time I was on tx but I can live with it . Thanks all for the support!

Hey Angie

Good to hear you finally received your first months of Meds, the first week is a learning experience so take your time and relax and soak it all in.

Great to hear that you are starting treatment! These new drugs are quite wonderful, i hear, and there are more coming in a year or so!

And keep in touch about the anxiety. It is such a nagging companion, but it helps to talk about it! smile

Thanks!! Hopefully, I kick this virus to the curb for good now. I look forward to knowing how it feels to be free of this one day.

Finally, everything is sorted out and I got all my meds. First dose of riba and sovaldi down..I am officially on tx. I am trying to keep my anxiety under control and let me tell you that is a chore for me! Lol. Tonight I take the interferon.
