CLEAR @ 2 Weeks!!!!

Labs say clear at week 2.  OMG!  It took me 32-40 weeks to clear on RIBV/Peg. the first time. Treated for an additional 48 to total 88 wks of tx and was detected at 4 wk check.  These drugs are kicking butt!!!!  I take shot 4 tonight, 4 wk labs on 27th.  Merry Christmas to me......I am nauseous, have heart burn, head/neck ache along with the rest.  I'm still doing it though!  Happy Holidays.  Spunky1

So sorry to hear that.   Are you still on the trial?   Hopefully if you are it will kick in soon.    My Hopkins guys are telling me they are throwing everything they have at me and it feels like it!!!!   Please keep in touch.

Congratulations Runningbrit. The Gilead drugs are proving very successful for a lot
People.  I unfortunately am not undetected and went up slightly at 12 weeks.  But for those undetected early it has proved
Very successful.  Glad to hear of all the successes.

Hello Gilead people

I am on GS 5885 plus or minus GS 9451 with SOC.   I am 10 weeks out.  <25 week 1 Und at week 4.   No rescue drugs.   Experienced severe anemia so they dropped PEG/RBV to 135/600 and it went up a bit but still feel exhausted.   Neck pain, swollen glands and pains in muscles that feel like fire and they come and go.   Still UND.   Get checked at week 12.   Glad to meet you all.

Please post.  I've lost track of you.  We are on the same Trial, same start date.  How are you?  I am sick sick with nausea.  Ginger tea helps, and candied ginger, and peppermint.  Are you too sick to post?  I hope not.  Hang in there.  Post when you can.  This is much harder then just the SOC I did for 88 wks.  But it's working....I cleared at wk. 2. One day at a time.  Spunky1
