Got my 25th week pcr faxed over yesterday. VL has gone up from like 28000 to 45000. Will see dr. on Monday................

Tell me how you are doing today? Have you done any journaling (new function here?). You are in my prayers. I know you've had a tuff time of it.

I no longer have broadband...back to dial up, so I can't watch you-tube. Have you been up to adding more videos. I have 'prayer for the warrior" saved. I hope you are still able to do something with your music. You have a great gift.

Thanks for your support!

C.S. - I am keeping all my options open...hey what's a little headache! :)

Here in PA, it is one beautiful day! I'm gonna go out and enjoy this cooler weather! Hope you guys have a nice day.

dont let it bring you down, you are a fearless fighter.
youve already earned some nice stripes on that uniform.
go out and enjoy some sunshine.

my guess is that your doc will say wait until vertex. your war is like the one in iraq,
its already lost. (in my opinion) consider it a blessing in disguise, you get to recover and live normally for a while again (as much as possible) and fight with much bigger weapons later.
its just a temporary setback. you are a responder, the new meds will get you done.

Yes I have, and if I could get it in Aust i would try it. It is stronger than IFN alpha2a/b but should be taken daily. Apparantly you can get quite a headache with it.

Thanks for the clarification. Have you heard of concensus interferon? If so...what?

Your VL hasn’t really gone up its stayed the same. PCR tests can out by up to half a log.
Expressed in logs your VL is 4.45 for 28000 4.65 for 45000. As can be seen this isn’t much of a difference.
You have developed resistance, in order to turn it around you would need change something.
As this test was done in week 25 its probably a little late to do that.
Maybe time to think about the next round.

Sorry to about the bad news
