Same here as far as sxs go, though some of my labs are tanking faster.... Hope you get the call soon.

I get no sides...im on the PEGATRON..RIBA.   ...the BOC tastes awful tho...when i wake up inthe morning i actually run to the washroom to bruch my teeth...BTW....heres a tip....i wear a partial upper denture and i find it helps to keep my mouth moist while sleeping.....if i dont wear my dentures ..my mouth is so dry its insane...i have all kiNds of tips...LOL

I'm on a waiting list and they told me to stay ready to be called for Bocepravir. Tell me a little about the sides. Are they more or the same as the Peg and Riba combo torture? Are you injecting Pegasys? Let us in on your study and it's results...

Thanks,

i think i will be ok tho...since i am RVR...but its vey important to not miss the BOC...i just got lazy...next time the alarm goes off...i will jump outta my chair right away ...procastination is your worse enemy ...DO IT NOW...dont wait...BTW....im noticing my mouth feeling weird since i took the missed dose...and my lips are shedding some skin....nothing serious......it also maybe those salt and vinager chips i ate 2 days ago...o well...of to the employment office.....

I did the same thing with my Telaprevir, but was just a little less than 3 hours late.  I will never forget another dose because I programed the alarm on my cell phone to go off when its time to take meds, and carry the phone in my pocket.  Working out very well.

That is exactly what i first thought...if i called my nurse she would say ,just continue on and forget  about...but i thought about it because the day i first starte this trial i started at 1o am and i had to space out the 3 doses over a 12 hour period...so its not much difference to me if i space out the missing dose....also my instruction for missing BOC are.....if its 2 hours before the next dose...its ok to take the missing dose...what a bummer eh?....like i said...that black thunder clound just loves me

I think that's a great plan.  I know when it happened to me, I asked my trial nurse and she said I had to skip the missed dose.  I remember wishing I had kept my mouth shut and come up with a plan like yours.
