hellow genedog,

I do shot #12 tomorrow. Last labs @ 8wks showed alt back elevated after normal on wks 2 and 4. I'm having bad depression, and Dr is talking about stopping meds. I'm on remeron (an AD) and have a pysch Dr. telling the Gastro that I'm so close to the 12 wk pcr that if I attend a daily program for deppression at the hospital that she will be responsible. I'm having trouble working as a mechanic full time, low cell counts but not low enough to treat, lost 10lbs (normal weight was 124)and very tired. I'm somtimes not sure I want to clear because then I will have to keep job for insurance, whereas if I don't clear I'm free to look for a different job. We'll see what God has in mind! I wish you the best fellow sufferers.



1b 13,000,000vl 20plus yrs infected 2/2bx haven't missed a shot or a pill!

Good Luck on your PCR and you should be undectable.  If I remember you are a geno 2 right?  There is really nothing you can do over weekend to reduce viral load as the meds have been doing that all along for you.  Let us know!

gendog!!! Good news my man.. I'm right behind you. Tonight is shot 9 for me.. Relax man, your crusin.







Wrench:

Man, gotta look at the prize. Of course you wanna clear. If you didn't, you wouldn't have treated. Take the AD's, stay strong.

"These meds only effect you, if YOU let them". Remember that, then kick that dragons @ss!!!!
