I finished my first bottle of Ribavirin today, this puts me at the end of my
first 4 weeks on treatment. I must admit throwing away the box that had my
last syringe in on Friday felt really good. Shame I had to pick up another
box on Wednesday.  Still I am now 1/6 of the way through.

So far the sides are minimal and my health is holding up fairly well, I am
continuing to exercise. I have noticed that my muscles take longer to stop
aching post exercise with my thighs being the worst. I have had to alter my
thigh training a little and cut out heavy squats in favour of low weight
higher rep work which is a little less arduous.  Aside from the longer
recovery times the only things I am noticing at the moment are all fairly
mild and inocous effects, here's hoping that it continues in this vein.

I did get in a bit of a panic with my blood numbers as my ALT has stumbled
and gone up to 95 this week, this is only a minor increase (it was 93 last
week) but none the less I would have been happier with a decrease. All my
other blood work is in normal ranges though my haemaglobin is now at the
bottom end of the range at 13.5.

Shot 5 and new bottle of ribavrin tonight.
