http://www.heptrec.org/treatments.asp,  these are the folks that responded to my question within a couple of hours. and for the vets onboard:

http://www.hcvets.com/index.html  truly some scary stats on our service men and women..

as always JMJM, your patience is truly inspiring... I'm with Dyce these days, dragging my @ss around in a wheelbarrow..... bloodwork next friday, two weeks since upping the riba dose...I am sleeping an average of 6 hours a day, plus 12 hours at night the last two weekends...

Got to give credit to Willing for this - he posted these instructions some time last year I think:

From Willing:

below is that how-to-html post. Be sparing with animated images or befud will get on your case... those interested in the

anti-fibrotic effects of IFN should take note of the recent study madbyron posted above.

Everything we type into the "post a comment" window actually gets turned into HTML by the medhelp site-management software.
HTML is a a way of describing what a web page should look like. Often it's mostly text, but every once in a while there's
something called a "tag" that tells the browser to display something unusual. Tags usually have the form "<X> text </X>"
where "X" is some tag name.


For example, the "strong" tag is used for emphasis: if you type <strong> emphasize this </strong> in a post, what people see is

emphasize this .


The tag used to display a link to another web page is named with the letter "a" (for anchor). In the opening part of the tag you

insert the URL address.


For example, if you type <a href="http://www.medhelp.org">this link</a> what people will see is this link.


The tag used to display an image in the midst of your post is named "img". Once again you reference the URL of the image you want

to display, however the format is a bit different. For example if you type <img src="http://www.medhelp.org/images/logosm.gif">;

what people will see is , the bitmap that appears at the top left of the medhelp screen.


A caution : if the fog is piled thick and deep, which it often is for me, it's easy to stumble while typing the tag opening or

closing. Unfortunately, the software that manages this site is not very robust about detecting HTML errors in a post. In particu
lar, if you leave out the closing " while typing in the href="web address" no one else will be able to post to that thread, as I

discovered a while back.. Hope this helps. If you want to see what the actual HTML for a web page you're looking at try "View|
Frame Source" in Netscape or "View|source" in IE.

Ha fish, how are ya? The 10.3 hmg put me down but not out. It's hard to work like this fish but somebody gotta pay the bills and 2 teenage kids , theres no layin down. It keeps the constant sx's outta my mind a little too . Took a break from the puter , anemia headaches make it hard to look at the monitor. Lookin forward to next year.

[fishdoc]

ditto.  I am anxious to see if the extra riba has affected my hbg, I know this has been a bad week.  I know its getting harder, but hang in there, the reason your suffering is not for you, but for them.  Always keep the objective in sight, especially as the breadwinner in the family, they need you healthy, not just this year, but from now on.  Take care, and look over the veterans site, pretty interesting..

I'm anxious too there doctor fish , seems the more anemic we are the better the results . Have youe sx's gotten worse since upping the riba? I remember jim had to do a couple trips to the emergency room from the higher doses . We'll probably both be on procrit before it's all said and done.
