I am a 58 yr old female, week 19 of 24.  I was undetectable at 4 and 12 wks.  My labs have been good, no need for procrit or neupogen so far.  I have had assorted symptoms...take a half dose of an antidepressant, occasional meds for pain, itching, etc.  My skin and eyes are very dry.  The only serious itching has been on my elbow where I evidently have some mild form of psoriasis that is aggravated by the interferon.  It was easily subdued with clobetasol, a prescription cream.  I have had no rashes so far.
