I think anyone who has a reaction should have the allergy testand if a doctor tells you there's nothing he can do go to work yourself the answer is out there

the first week and a half was a piece of cake! Getting into the 3rd week is when I really started get sick from rashes, boles, major headaches, could'nt sleep what so ever. ended up in the hospital with a 103.8 temp. Because your skin dries out so bad (and I was putting mositerizers on all the time) it plugs up you hair particle pore so my body is very infected but not with Hep C. I am now taking ...

the first week and a half was a piece of cake! Getting into the 3rd week is when I really started get sick from rashes, boles, major headaches, could'nt sleep what so ever. ended up in the hospital with a 103.8 temp. Because your skin dries out so bad (and I was putting mositerizers on all the time) it plugs up you hair particle pore so my body is very infected but not with Hep C. I am now taking a very strong antibiotic and have three days left of taking and its barely starting to work. If you aregetting ready to do this treatment don't just listen to what your doctor or care nurse have to say but do your own research and dig deep because they do not know all the side affects. So be smart and not dumb like me and find out everything your can before you start. Yes, it is a very rough ride and don't be like me and do it alone (its pure "HELL") its best if you have someone close to you to help you get thou this. Goodn luck to all of you.

The initials side effect these meds are tough to handle and you many have multiple side effects to deal with. The average time for the side effects to ease off is anywhere from 6-12 wks. Although these side effects are difficult to handle, the end result is worth it....you can take it or end up dying from the alternative.
