You sound like a brave girl!!!   thanks for  the inspiration!!!!   Did your Ultrasound show anything???  I know my Doc really wants me to have the biopsy....but he is not pushing it.  I take it your Dr. did not push it either?     I'm not sure what my Viral load is???  The Fiberpectrum test gave a number of 88....   does that mean anything to anyone here???

I am just so frightened to start treatment... but in my heart I know the sooner the better...or is it????   Do I sound  confused or what!!!  LOL    There are some who believe they can beat this without treatment. That grapefruit juice helps!!!!???    At this point Iam hearing so many different things I don't know what to believe anymore.  But  I'm sure glad I found this site!!!

Your VL is very low, thats great. Mine was 44 million last appointment - up from 16 million - which was up from 8 million if I remember. I wonder if I win the highest VL on MH. Oooo, goody, I never win anything. I now can say I won the MedHelp VL contest.

You're gonna do good Kim, geno 2b and low VL is a good indication of all will go well.

Good for you girl!!!!      I did not realize you can give yourself the shots???  Is this true for everyone? I am also 2b!!!   I really want to connect with as many 2b'ers as I can so we can help support eachother. I opted out of the biopsy as well...  had the FibrospectII     my number was 88.   Did you have that test done?

Would appreciate any info you can offer.

Bright Blessings!!!!
Happy first day of spring!!!
