Sides Early On

I am only into my third full day of tx and I gotta say so far, I am having a very easy time of it. First day and 1/2 just had headche on and off with minor minor come and go side and tummy ache. Also feel like a "sloth brain", like I'm in a fog.
Little extra tired and very thirsy, though I am drinking a gallon of water a day. So I was wondering what other peoples sides were like the 1st week and if they were easy like mine...and when if ever did they get worse? I am really beginning to wonder if there was any meds at all in that 1st shot lol. I would really like to hear what other peoples experiences were early on in the tx and what they are now. I know there are people getting ready to start tx...so I am sure there are a host of curious people out there. To me you guys are like the Hep C World Book Encyclopedia lol. Thanks Friends.
Hugs Jeannie
