1084115 tn?1385228589 I had mild flu like symptoms after my first inj of Pegasys and still have mild flu like symptoms after the inj. but somewhat less than at the beginning. I don't get anything done the first couple of days after the inj. I have zero energy or motivation and I feel fatigued. I do not plan anything for those first couple of days. I just rest. As the week wears on, I feel a little better each day. Then it is time for the next inj, LOL.

Avatar m tn When we say VL test during week 4 or 12 of tx, when exactly is it done during the week? I take Pegasys shot on Saturdays. My nurse says the test can be done on Monday, that is, 2 days after taking 4th/12th injection. I have a feeling I have to wait till Friday before taking next injection. Appreciate inputs regarding standard practice here.

1025981 tn?1261093199 I will be taking peg inj #30 this thursday. I'm going to be honest with you,if you google Peg/CoPeg side effects,I think I've had every one of them from mild to severe. I have stage 3 fibrosis and fatty liver disease. Liver damage will cause someone to metabolize food ,medicine everything slower,so it stays in your system longer. Pegasys is formulated to be cleared from your system in 7 days,thats why you take your inj once a week.

4681532 tn?1357914201 I finished 6 month Pegasys mid October. In December I developed sciatica in my left hip. I am also having sporadic joint pain in all my joints, including my neck, mid back, & lower back. Usually 1 or 2 joints will flare at a time. Could this be a neural side effect of the treatment ? I think my Chiropractor just wants me to keep coming back, he shrugged off any connection. I mentioned it to my GP but haven' t heard back. Should I contact my GI about this ?

1418633 tn?1314546745 I have taken 15 shots of inj. pegasys for my HCV genotype-3.Since past 2 weeks I have a major loss of memory as i tend to forget whether i have taken the medicine or not.Sometimes it results in me taking medicine twice at night. When sure that i have not taken medicine,i compensate it with taking 3 tabs instead of 2 at morning and at night.I intent to start marking at my calender whenever i take a dose.But the Question is---whether the missed doses will affect my recovery.Plz Suggest.
Avatar m tn tylenol the eve I take my inj., 1 about a half hour before the inj. and 1 about an hour or so after the inj. I think they help. I usually take another one the next am. I think many of us feel wiped out for a couple of days after the inj. but some people do not get that feeling right away. Some it hits a couple days after the inj. Some get headaches or flu like symptoms. Some don't.
