Add your support I had minimal side effects, I was lucky I didn't have to work, so I got to rest a lot.
I just finished my treatment Nov. 1st, 48 weeks 48 shots, I thought it would take forever then all of a sudden it was over.
I only had blood work every 4 weeks. I had allergy symptoms and had to take Benadryl most of the year.
Occasionally there was running to the bathroom, about 1-2 times a week. I don't want to be crude, but I didn't always make it, that was only once or less a month. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep some extra clothing in the car.
My appetite changed, I lost about 70 lbs. also taste buds changed, I quit coffee, I drink mostly just water. I will say I never threw up, but I never have pretty much ever, I seem to have a strong stomach,
Now I get to wait 3 months for next labs, then my 6month labs.
It was worth it my viral load was almost 3million and was at 0 at my first month labs after I started the treatment an is still at 0.
One last thing I have always had oily hair, and my hair dried up a lot on the treatment. If I would have known what I know now I would have went heavy on the moisturizing, I was in the habit of doing the opposite.
