Billy! Wow! You sweated that one out and DID it! I have a feeling I may be next... Lovin those numbers buddy.
Streamline - My platelets dropped from 69 to 44 in 4 weeks. Yeah. I'm thinking we need some of billy's candy..
Karen :)
It is great to have 141 platelets . I was just asking because I was wondering if the procrit had helped raise you platelets. I would think with 141 platelets you don't have much liver damage. I started tx with just 60. When I was first diagnosed with hep c I had 107 . I love to see 141 that's great.
thanks everyone...i'm really not sure what my platlets were before...isn't 141 a good count ?...billy
Great news Billy. You must be feeling so much better. Continued good health!!!
Great News! Way to hang in there!
Thats great news,anemia is my biggest worry thats the only thing they said they would pull me from the trial for other than using illegal drugs or any meds not approved by them. Riba reduction is not an option in the trial unless in group 2 and it has to do with the concetration controlled part and they reduce it or maybe increase it. I will be allowed rescue drugs at 10 though. Hang in there.

What were your platelets before starting procrit ???
Thanks forth info. She wants to reduce the ribo for a week until the procrit kicks in but I am trying to talk her out that.
it may take 2 weeks or more...i started feeling better at about 12 days ...i couldn't walk with my head up...it was awful.....i take 40 once a week and 20 once a week...billy
Thanks I hope I just feel better. I hope you are too!
i don't feel any.....it worked great for me....billy
