thanks for all your input on the metallic taste issue. i just started the blue pills yesterday after week four of peginterferon/ribavarin and that taste is pretty hard to ignore.  im just gonna assume i have the real deal (and believe it) . hope so! does anyone have any new information on placebo taste?

i been taking the blues for a month now. taste is awful. my own nurse seems to think i got the real deal.  IF YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE BATHROOM MORE THAN 4 TIMES A DAY, CONSIDER  THAT YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE REAL DEAL.IF YOU BECOME SUPER FATIGUED, YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE REAL DEAL. INDIGESTION AND BLOATING ARE ALSO SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THE REAL DEAL. I WENT FROM 13,500,000 TO 186 VIRAL LOAD IN 6 WEEKS. MY NURSE THINKS I HAVE THE REAL DEAL. AND PROBABLY HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE 186 BY WEEK 8. OTHERWISE TX TX HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME. WATCH WHAT YOU EAT. YOU DONT WANT TO UPSET BOC. TRIAL AND ERROR. TASTE COMES AND GO.

I just started the Boceprevir this week also. I do seem to detect a metallic taste or is it my imagination? I'm not 100% convinced I got the Boceprevir but I'm about 80% sure I did. It seems to cause some side effects and I think if it was Placebo I should feel nothing different. I went from a 6 million VL to 1 million VL in 2 weeks. I'm not sure how good that is. I have had my blood tested at week 4, but I do not have the results yet.
