Hey Taran. Did you know there’s some non-interferon treatments coming through in trials at the moment? It’s worth keeping an eye on if you want to do treatment in coming years that’s not as rough. I know someone on a trial with geno 1 who’s got nearly zero side-effects, and only 6 months.
There are practical issues in splitting tablets in my country. I go to the pharmacist nearly every day to get my daily dose. Technically they’re not even supposed to allow split-doses, and you’re only supposed to be dosed once daily in the pharmacy. I’m lucky enough to have a pharmacist & doctor who’ll give me some leniency with that.
But the pharmacist has to, I think, provide my tablets in packaging. I might be able to suss it out today and see if I can work something else out.
You’re right about the flu’ey symptoms on the interferon. It has been getting gradually more intense over the course, so I’m sure that would be contributing in some way.
I’m heading to the pharmacy now to get my dose, so will ask if I can divide it differently, or split the pills. Because it sure does make more sense to have the dose evenly spread over the 24 hours.
