Birthday and weaning down on my Riba other posts

[susan400]

Hi there friends.  Today is my 45th birthday.  I just got back from having a delicious scrumptious chocalate cake desert at a restaurant.  Then, my sister and I went to the store and I bought a few clothing articles.  It felt good to get out of the house.  I'm in the process of weaning off some of the Riba.  Since I was on double dose (8) and never gained remission, I'm going to be stopping treatment.  But, I'm doing this in a weaning down fashion.  I'm down 2 Riba's from my 8, to 6 now.  When I go back to my doctor at the end of the month, I'm going to have him switch my Infergen from 15mcg daily to 9mcg every other day.  I'll probably stay on that for a month or so.  I know that I'm really not hoping to accomplish anything by doing it this way, but since I never managed to get a remission, at least by stopping gradually then, my liver won't have such a shock with just stopping instantly.  I hope to be all the way off by the end of Aug.  Do I know what I'm doing??? Heck no!
Well I hope all of you Dads have a great Father's Day.

Happy BD!!!     i would just quit all the stuff.  i dont believe there is evidence that it will be a shock to your liver.   if you arent getting remission and going to stop tx.  just stop.   this stuff is extremely hard on our bodies and minds.   you need a rest.   i dont see what you have to gain by staying on it longer.
