Help,,, just found out I relapsed at 1300 pcr,,,sooooooooooo upset,,, since I have only been off drugs 1 month,, they want to start me on interfergen,,, what should I expect,, shots daily,, worse sx???
I think willy and ball are right - it should be in its own thread because it says nothing about G2s and what it does say isn't too clear to me anyway. It is a rather brief discussion and hopefully when we see it fleshed out we will know more.

"Keep in mind, this is not the high dosing, double dosing, extended dosing."
I agree, I would however tend to believe that it is about response based dosing. That is why I mentioned it in the first place.
At the same time the information Mike posted certainly doesn't make a strong argument for increased riba in G2 tx.

"... Those ten Swedes must have been feeling poorly for a year, huh?"
With no follow up except the 24 week post-tx PCR we don't know how many of those patients actually survived the tx or were left with permanent health problems. "The operation was a success, but......"
Not everyone has your incredible tolerance to riba.

Keep in mind, this is not the high dosing, double dosing, extended dosing.
I hadn't seen people post this or talk about it and thought that this might be as good a place as any to add it in, although it may also deserve it's own thread.
