actually, the opposite of what you state is true, although the trials were flawed because of different riba levels. And as two trials, showing one etc. or were the other, you do realize that the winner invariably have that trial funded by the respective manufacturer. That said, I did take the possibility of such an event into consideration in the per post dosing scheme.

"if that weren't true, then wouldn't peg intron in theory have more RVR's?"
----------------

It does.  But the SVR numbers are usually pretty even.

Hi Tammy,

I seriously doubt a glucose test would be included in a CBC. You might look for it in a CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) though. Sorry you’re going through this; I began to write you a response when you initially wrote this thread, then deleted it because I didn’t have the heart to tell you that you were having a slow response. This **** can be so discouraging sometimes. God luck going forward; I’ll be looking for your progress.

Take care—

Thank you ! I have never had an uti and after dx of HCV,1A Stage 1, Grade 0.Rheumatoid Arthritis. All in Nov. 07.I had a cbc from hep doc and hgb was 15.4 WBC  was 12.1 out of range.Someone ask why my wbc was elevated and ask if I had had an infection or cold recently.I went to rheumy and she said, uti.tx it and it got better...
Rheumy started tx with morphine for RA because I was going to start tx. Insurance fought me till this past Nov. and my first shot was Nov.07.I have never had staph.My husband say's I've always been the healthiest person he knows.Untill all this.
Should I ask to be taken off the morphine ? It doesn't seem to be helping anyways.I can take hydrocodone as needed for pain but I try not to.Thank you so much.You have also provided links to give to Drs.I appreciate your time.
Tammy BTW-Nice to meet you.
