Excuse me I am thread jumping and being social again but how in the heck are you doing? Dale
My numbers were lower, but yeah I swung by 30 pts back and forth -- it would take about a month to make the trip one way, hover, then head back. Take care.
Anise: yes, plt. numbers can jump around quite a bit.
Help/New Problem: On week 56 and have had pretty much total body rash for almost a month. Also, my limbs are swollen and sore. None of the old rash tricks help at all. I am miserable. Is it possible to develop an auto immune like skin disorder?
Hey guys, thanks for the reassurance. I won't worry about it now. I thought something was amiss.
Jaroman, I hope someone can answer your question. I haven't had any rashes yet.
They bounce around. I wish I had your numbers - ha! But they fluctuate between labs for me. I don't know what I started at before treatment but hanging at 70 now for a few weeks and they had been down under 50. Your numbers sound GREAT! though. Dale
Dale-ray, I am a 2B and I am really thankful that I am only doing 24 weeks of treatment. I am not sure I would be able to go 48 weeks or longer on this stuff. Way to harsh of a treatment. You guys who go 48 weeks must the the consitution of a rock. Bless you all for hanging in there.
pdilly, thanks for the update on Mr. BB. I bet he is celebrating with all of the horrors he went through.
That's a good point. Where is that droppy eared friend. I think his last shot is on June 19th though. He may be in pre-celebration - ha!
You must be genotype 3 if you are on the 24 week treatment. Oh how I wish but I only have 19 more to go. You know for some reason even though all has gone reasonably well and all of my results say I am responding I have no confidence that it will work. Maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up. I couldn't analyze what I am thinking right now even if I wanted to because of the treatment. Dumb as a sack of rocks - ha! You keep plugging away sounds like everything is going great for you. Dale
I BB is enjoying being finishe with tx and from what I remember he went back to Florida. Hopefully the new hurricane is not going his way. He will probably surface shortly.
Wow, I guess I am lucky to have my platelet numbers go up. Since I am doing shot #18 wednesday. I only have 6 shots to go, so those numbers might not bounce around much.
Where is Mr. BB? He took his last shot sunday but haven't heard from him.
I should ask, has this happened to anyone on treatment, platelets raise? Or is this some mistake. I had been going down, down and down, and last test went from 106 to 131.
Suggestions, information, anything....
