Went to bed early (10pm) and had a pretty difficult few hours till about 4am - I was sweating a lot and had pains all over my chest which made me feel very restless. I tried the old yoga trick of taking measured breaths and pauses and that helped, and tried to relax as best as possible and that helped a bit.
Eventually things settled down more and I dozed off for increasingly longer periods. Not a comfortable night!
Restless aches in my back lasted all day and from time time I went for a lie down. That didn't stop me driving to two sports events to watch my children take part, or the basis chores.
I get the feeling that my body is gearing up for a battle royal against this Hepatitis C virus and is already pummeling me quite a bit on the inside.

Hi Jon
Sounds like you're off to a good start.
A tip that may be helpful - one paracetamol at night could probably check alot of those aches. Your nurse (or doctor) will probably suggest it. Paracetamol isn't usually good for the liver - but neither is a constant set of aches and pains, day after day.
I don't like using a lot of medication either and stayed away from whatever I could while I was doing treatment - but I did find using paracetamol was a trade-off that's worth it.
Thanks for the mention of my blog - I have just made a link to yours from mine.
Wishing you well
Ron
Thank you Ron,
You're right - my nurse did suggest it. Today was much better so I'm still half minded to brazen it out for a bit longer.
Many Thanks
Jon
