Patience

The ribivarin is educating the interferon, which is alerting T-cells that the Hep C is a virus and needs to be killed. I hope.

My forehead is always hot, my arms flush red at times, I'm achy and lethargic. So, it does resemble a mild flu. I address symptoms and try to get lots of rest.

Next week the lab tests will include assessing viral load. That may give us an early clue to how well the treatment is working.

Patience and hope.
