    I’m not sure how to distinguish “mild flu-like symptoms” I have every day from the “mild flu-like symptoms” of side effects.

    Also, I recommend StartPage as a great search engine. No logging or data mining.

    Whereas I agree, some side effect reporting may make some patients a little nervous even if they are nothing like the old meds sides, I also think it is good to share how people are feeling on tx, so others can be prepared. I mean, if no-one ever had any side effects at all because they didn’t want to mention them and then a person new to treatment got some, they may be really scared because they think they are the only one to get some, does this make sense? When people just tell me ‘oh it’s just like a mild flu for a bit’ I have to say, I do wonder what a ‘mild’ flu is like, you know? ;) Having said that, I haven’t had flu for so long, I can’t remember what it’s like! but I have definitely had other very horrible symptoms since I’ve had this virus. Joint pain so bad I couldn’t walk for example. Really don’t want those to get worse.

    I never suggested not to speak of your experience of sides while on treatment of course its important to talk
    about how you’re doing on treatment positive or negative.

    What I did say was Id be mindful of not worrying about sides before you’ve started treatment.

    Sure, just voicing an opinion, as I know in the past on other forums, this has been an issue .

    Edit : ie There is/was some pressure to pretend treatment with Interferon was ‘not that bad’ and ‘just like mild flu’
    This is why I think I balk at that particular expression !
