its good for everyone to get all sides of the story....as much info as possible...a slap in the face every now and then can be helpful...i did the best i could...i really didn't want to have to stop but when a retina specialist  said stop that was it...going into this i thought i would be one of the folks that had little sx...didn't work out that way...but the incivek is really something and i may be svr anyway....i will stay with the forum for a while to see how everyone does and to post my status ...good or bad...in hopes it helps out ....thanks...billy

LOL yeah 2006 that doesn't even seem possible to me how could time have gone by that fast? Wow.

Either way it's hard to leave until you watch all your friends (like you) get SVR - then you make a few new friends and want to watch them get to SVR.....it's a vicious hepc obsessed life cycle!!!!!!!!

Dog - well, that is excellent news to be sure!!!!    I certainly have my fingers  crossed for the chance that you won't have to do this again.  Your body is so very sensitive to these drugs, it amazed me.  Take care.

Deb - I guess we are both cynics at heart, eh?  Yep we have been here too long.  I am amazed and grateful for your continued support all these years even though you reached SVR in what - 2006?  Life is good.

I pray you stay undetected for good and  hope they use your stats especially for CC's for being able to do possible "shorter" treatment times.

However, I see a lot of congratulations for UND here and I don't read that you posted a viral load test.  Was one run and not back yet?  If not, when will you get your next PCR now that you are off treatment? ."

Kathy you are always reading my mind.........spooky, either that or we've known each other too long :)

Dog, Congrats on the 11 hemo and yes a lot of us after treatment have to start taking mega doses of vitamin D and also have cholesterol trouble.  It's just what happens.

dog, I am glad you are feeling better since you quit treatment - especially glad to see your hemoglobin at a livable range.

However, I see a lot of congratulations for UND here and I don't read that you posted a viral load test.  Was one run and not back yet?  If not, when will you get your next PCR now that you are off treatment?
