HI THERE ! WHEN I STOPPED TREATMENT(MY CHOICE) WITH IN TWO WEEKS I WAS BACK TO NORMAL.EVERYONE IS DIFFERANT THO.1 OR 2 MAY NEVER GO AWAY( FROM WHAT I HEAR).SOMETIMES THEY ALL GO AWAY AS IN MY CASE.BUT EITHER WAY WITHIN WEEKS YOU WILL FEEL PRETTY GOOD,BUT AS I SAID IT DIFFERANT FOR EVERYONE.I STILL GET A LITTLE TRIED BUT THATS IT.HOPE I'VED HELPED. NANCY

IT MAY JUST BE THAT I AM REALLY HAPPY TO BE OFF TX, BUT I FELT GREAT ABOUT A WEEK LATER. SOME PEOPLE SAY IT TAKES A MONTH OTHER A LOT LONGER. I THINK IT JUST DEPENDS ON YOUR BODY AND HOW IT HANDLE IT. WITH TX NOTHING IS CERTAIN. KEEP LOKKING UP ANDD GOD BLESS YOU!

Hi Rynette, I am 7 weeks post a 48 week tx regime. I felt better right away, and feel 100% intermittently. Feel free to peek at my journal to see how I have done- I have posted along the way! Best to you, Terri

im 2 weeks off meds. the first 4 days were awful!!! then good, then bad. the last 3 days i'm starting to feel much better, though i still feel the meds inside me.

i do sleep much better, my bad moods are good, alot of my energy has come back, not really tired anymore. the first thing to come back that i really noticed was my appetite. that came back the very first day.

do i feel 100% better? no, but i feel much better. :>)

november 2nd i go on vacation, i'm hoping i will be much better for that. i'm praying for that too.....

HI RYNETT, I HAD MY TX BACK IN JAN THIS YR. I WENT OFF THE TX IN JULY AND WENT RIGHT INTO FIBROMYALIGA. THE INTERNIST THAT I WAS DOING THE TX THRU DX'ED ME, AND IT WENT FROM BAD TO HOLY BAD. I'M DEALING IT, BUT IT CANNOT BE RULED OUT WHEN TAKING TX OR AFTER, I FEEL TOTAL PAIN THRU OUT MY ENTIRE BODY AND EVEN PAIN MEDS DO NOT TAKE THE PAIN AWAY, JUST DULLS IT. I TRULY PRAY THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE. CHECK WITH YOUR DR.......BLESSINGS....HELEN

It's actually hard to say, but here's some thoughts. A doctor usually tell a woman to wait 6 months to a year before getting pregnant. So even if you don't have any 'side effects' after the treatment, you have to assume it takes time for it to completely clear your system.

Hi Rynette. I finished my treatment a couple of years ago and I still have all my symptoms...aches...pains...flu like symptoms in stomach..fatigue..depression and I also contacted Osteoarthritis and Fibermylgia along the way...I had many symptoms for years before I did treatment though...I was told the treatment may take away the virus but it doesn
't take away the symptoms you had before treatment...I see that is true now after 2yrs. So I guess it depends how many symptoms you had before starting out. I was also Bipolar but didn't know that till after treatment. Hopefully you will feel great soon. Take care and all the best to you. Love and Prayers Ramona xoxoxoxo

i`m 2 weeks out, was feeling ok and wham, i got knocked down for the last 2 days. the first time time on tx it was 5-6 weeks to get back almost normal. 2 months i was at 100%. but as they say every body has diff. reactions.

This is actually a good topic even if it is old. Makes you wonder how those folks from 2 yrs ago are doing. I know everyone can benefit hearing about different side effects.

I am post tx by about 4 weeks and still having some sides, the worst ones are the muscle pain in my legs, weakness and breathlessness, my legs feel like a bag of cement, hopefully I will be in shape by the time I have to go back to work. (keeping my fingers crossed)!Went for a walk around the block last week and my legs were very sore and I was winded, which is very unusual for me.

I did my last shot April 1st. Felt some improvement the very first week. The first month I still delt with rashes and I was weak from being out of shape. I am 100% normal now. Still tired at mid day, but hell, I am over 50! LOL
I am still working on getting back into shape.

Mike I had to work had to get back in shape
it took 2 mouths.
