day 4
« on: July 15, 2014, 09:27:43 pm »
I am geno 1 with 11ml viral load in stage 4.  This is my 4th day of S/O nothing outstanding as far as side effects.  My eyes are very sensitive, some muscle aches in my legs and hips.
Are the side effects yet to come?  This is a great forum to get information.

Perhaps - many people are feeling better on this regimen; some are having mild side effects. The main complaint is photosensitivity - avoid the sun and you may skip this particular side effect altogether. I hope others weigh in, but you might read some of the other comments on this forum.

Mine were very mild and only for the first couple weeks. It was worse in the first few days.  I'm in my 6th week and feeling good. So I would have to say if that is all you are having that should be the worst of it. Stay out of the sun as much as possible and you should be good. It truly is amazing..

Thanks Jim, I will definitely stay out of the sun and if I have to go out I look like a bag lady.   I am pleased with the side effects so far.  My Dr. is doing blood work every week.  I am having a hard time sleeping.
Thanks to this forum, I have learned so much. Straight from the horses mouth (so to speak) 
Hope you are doing well.
