What are the side effects of hepatitis vaccinations?

I just started receiving Interferon/Ribavirin therapy for Hepatitis C, Can the side effects come gradually?

• 2 days ago was my first Interferon injection and the first night I had a fever and some aches in my joints and muscles. I am really tired and I have a heavy feeling in general. Feeling like I have the flu. My question is, Since these are the first side effects, can I expect to only have these or can they gradually increase to other side effects as the treatment continues??

• Answer:

  my mother went through that treatment and she said that the first 8 weeks were the worst. you know how when you are coming down with the flu your entire body ached and you are just so tired, my mother experienced all of that, along with night sweats, migraines and loss of appetite. she took the treatment for a year... and in the beginning she had to take the first 8 weeks off of work because she was so sick some days that she couldn't even leave the house... after that she felt a lot better but then sometimes throughout treatment she had bad days but by far those were weighed out by better days. good luck with your treatment and recovery... if you have any other questions about hep c let me know...
