Finished Treatment today. Gilead Trial.

My 24 wks are over as of today!   GS 5885,9451, and SOC. UND since wk 4.  Now I pray it stays that way!!!!  Thanks everyone.  There was a  glitch in the randomization at end of trail drugs to continue SOC or not for 24 more weeks.  By accident everyone who cleared by 2, reached UND by 4 was taken off everything at 24 weeks (not randomized).  So far 74 or us have finished and only 1 person has relapsed...SSSSOOOOO.....they are taking the rest of us off as we finish too.  Good luck to all.  Beyondmwd

Good for you.  Please keep me posted on your checks. Yes, I am feeling better every day.  My energy level is definitely on the rise. The toxins are still coming out though.  I still itch some, hair still coming out.  The smell is about gone though.  My head is clearing up some.  I'm back to yoga, kayaked Sunday for a few hours and even went to a little gathering in the evening one night.  AMAZING!  Good luck to us. Beyondmwd.

don't it feel great not to have to take any more poison? I know I was counting the days for the last 3 weeks, even made up a special calendar that showed how many hours I had left.
I'm 5 weeks post in the same trial and feeling just waiting to see what happens, now.
