Day 16 (2 Jun 07) Jon's Hepatitis C Treatment

Woke feeling headachy and a bit groggy, and a bit of a heavy throat, but determined not to take anything for it. Quickly settled into the day and carried through to evening when I had a half hour lie down and then out to some friends and back latish.
Did a quick review of progress to date, going through the side effects I was warned about.
I have not lost my appetite; my skin does itch a bit in places, but not uncontrollably; I sweat a bit from time to time but not inordinately; I sometimes have a bit of a disturbed sleep and often wake up about 2am, but I do not suffer insomnia and I usually get back to sleep fairly quickly using yoga breathing; I do feel wooden and tired from time to time, especially at the end of the day; so far, the treatment has not affected my work, and I have not had to take any time off (apart from going to the hospital appointments.
So, so far, so good. But it is still early days.
