Hi, I have a question why would you start your tx on a Monday if you are a working person? I was told take my shots on a Friday night, that way you will sleep through most of the affects (if any) and the meds will have settled in your body by the time Monday rolls around. Since it is your first shot Fridays sound better. It will give you a chance to see how it affects your body. Still maybe your doc has his or her reasons. We all are different and the meds affect each individual differently. By the way, how old are you,what Geno and liver stage were you diagnosed with? I like to know the ages of each of you, etc. to see whose diagnoses matches up with mine. I don't know if age has anything to do with the tx affects but I am pretty healthy except for my Hep C. I'm 66 years., Geno 1 and Stage 3. I was to have started on my meds a few weeks ago but I'm still debating?

I hope to start the first Friday in May which should be the 4th. My children want me to give it a try and my doctor says I'll be ok. I just still am uneasy as far as side affects. Especially as to how strong the meds are. Of course they have to be for the virus is a strong culprit. I hope to be joining all the rest of you in treatments in May. I'm just hoping I fair as well as some of you have. I'll be praying that I do and for all the rest of you to continue with your treatments and test well. So you just keep posting with the rest of us and you will learn a lot about Hep C and what others are going through while in treatment. We're the ones that know for we are going through it. I hope your family comes around and supports you. It's not a time to turn away from you, blame you or whatever the reason. If not, you have a family here to help you through it. Stay positive.
