Infergen

Anyone out there been on Infergen?  (if so, what kind of side affects). My Hep wants me to start this because the Pegintron I was on has not eliminted my viral load after 9 months.   My gastro guy cut me back to maintance does, but my Cryoglobulinemia is coming back already.

Hepo says the Infergen is for non responders, and has a greater success of eliminating the viral load.

I never knew about upping the Riba back when I had to go off treatment.  But now that you say that ... THANKS!!  I am going to ask about upping my RAGE first.  :)

It will be a lot safer and allow me to keep on driving.   (If there's even a remote chance of a breakthrough with seizure meds, I don't drive of course.)
