I'm laughing too hard to write!! Well put!! Riba is evil and vile and I can't wait until May 19th when I take my last three pills. Some sort of ceremony will need to take place. Maybe I'll ceremoniously flush the remaining pills down the toilet.
Thanks for making my day.

Member ‘Meakea’ had similar feelings after she completed her treatment; she got closure by having a little bonfire :o)

Congratulations, Fnzol; if the opportunity arises let us know how you do six months from now. Time to heal; I hope you do so swiftly and painlessly.
Take care-
-Bill
Oh and of course, a big CONGRATULATIONS. Welcome back to your life!
June

congrats
Congratulations and best of luck. Hopefully you'll be reporting your svr before long.

Fnzol, if I may:
Dear Ribavirin,
I would also like you to know that whatever command you have on Fnzol, you also have on me. As I experience the same life-altering side effects previously mentioned; but I'm sure you're aware that already and rejoice in its comfort. Your "Satan-like" grasp has reached into the very core of my being, like a vulture, whose wings are dull realities. It is more than probable that I am not understood. But I fear, indeed, that it is in no manner possible to convey to the mind of the non-treating, an adequate idea of that nervous intensity and apprehension with which, in my case, I experience twice daily, when I consume my ration.
Your presence is daunting and we know of their effects to be a source of disparaging discomfort. Yet the conundrum in experiencing your distasteful remedy, is removing you from the prescribed delivery method; "Press and hold 2, while pulling on 1 to remove the required dose"; RIBASPHERE- "Ribasphere may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide". That's it, isn't it? You desire a dominance over me that can only be repudiated by wielding a kitchen knife and stabbing the number"1", to make it easier to grasp. Upon pushing on the number "2", and holding it in, I find that you won't give up your bounty so easy, so I rip you from your package, only to pop you out and consume you.
Ribavirin, how I hate you, and yet I love you.....
Huzzah for getting through it and getting to done. The irony is that you and Bastardo were teammates and without you pushing both INF and Riba from behind, neither of them would have been able to do their dastardly best. So kudos to you, Fnzol. Congrats on the UND at 4 weeks and will be a pleasure to celebrate your SVR. Hope you post those results.
Happy Recuperation. :)
Trish
Dear Ribavirin,
"As evil as you are I thank you for killing something that is even more evil, Hepatitis C. You perhaps spared me from a horrible death or even worse suffering from liver disease. You and I have been apart for a few years now but I still think of you as you have left me with permanent side effects. Hope to never see you again! "
Just thought it deserved a little credit. Trust me it would be a lot worse if it didn't cure you.
Congrats on your 24 wk unde.
I couldn't agree more. Congrats on being DONE !
Wishing you a speedy recovery and SVR of course.
Well done,
James
Congrats on toughing it out. Your send up will inspire others to carry on despite hardships. Your revenge will be SVR!
I lend you my Hep C dragon-slaying sword to stab that sucker one more time to make sure it is dead! I also emit a Howard Dean girlie scream to salute your completion of treatment! YYYYEEEAAAGGGHHH!!!! LOL ~MM
Itch, itch, itch (what was that RX). Ditto all the same thoughts, sx and feelings about Riba. I've still got a long way to go but congratulations to you!!!!

It's a dilemma to be sure... Wait for a not so toxic treatment and gamble that the situation will not worsen meanwhile, or take the new treatment, suffer and hope it will work. This gives a new meaning to the word dilemma...

Itch, itch, itch (what was that RX).
Triamcinolone acetonide ointment 0.1%.
Congratulations on finishing up ..hope you have a quick recovery and on to SVR..
Best of Luck..Will
Well said, indeed! Brings back no-so-fond memories, but also makes me appreciate even more the distance of eash passing day since EOT. Congrats on your 24 week UND and may more soon follow. Here's to a speedy recovery........Pam
A fine job, congrats on finishing the program
"Ribavirin is the spawn of the devil…" It is that very spawn (high doses of it ) that I directly attribute my SVR to, more so than the 72 weeks of it that I did.
enjoy and best of luck in the end result,

Lulz.
Thanks all. 6-month post-tx PCR mid-October.
Type 2 and UND since at least week 4 (first PCR), so I'm pretty confident.
