Have more sides now than when I first started treatment in 3/08. Always tired, short of breath at times, dry mouth, insomnia, brain fog, loss of appetite, nausea, worsening rosacea, eczema, itching seem to be the biggest problems now. VL after 3 months went from over 5 million to 17000 or down over 3 logs. Dr won't check again til finished with treatment.
