Hi,

I have been post TX now for 4 months after 48 weeks of treatment.
I still feel the side effects in the morning and it usually tapers off
and
I feel better during the second half of the day.
Has anyone experienced the same thing after treatment ?
I guess depending on the individual it can take 6 months or more for
the
side effects to go away. I read somewhere that for some people the
side effects
never go away. Was tested 3 months post treatment and liver enzymes
are normal
but Dr has not done a PCR since treatment ended.
Genotype 1A, virus undetectable at 24 and 48 weeks.

Thanks,

Guy

Boy, do I remember feeling like that - "When is that part going to
come where I just feel better and better every day??" It was a long
year and I wanted to feel SO much better SO fast...but I do recall
being told that it really takes a full 6 months for all the Drugs
from Hell to be totally out of your system. And I was sooooo run down
by the end. I'd have to say it was a good six months before I could
honestly say I felt "better" - sure everything improved once the drugs
stopped, the brain fog cleared and so on but I have to say that even
today, a year and a half post tx I still find myself occassionally
feeling like
my brain and my energy have been improving.

Be happy and Be Well and know that as time passes, one day at a time,
things will get better. I was dragged out for a very long time after
tx, and was very focused on that at first, waiting the magical moment,
but as time passed and I stopped focusing on waiting to feel better,
as I said, I just sort of "notice" improvements still, when I find
myself doing something at work for example and thinking "Jeez, I
couldn't even SEE that a year ago, and now it seems so clear."

It will get better, Guy. Fear Not :) ~Deb
