It was not this time ... yet ... PSI -7977



Hi, there. Today I went to have a first dose of double INTERF / riba but the  doctors convinced me to compete for a place in study group with PSI-7977. Well .. they advised me it would be better option than starting tx now because I have a chance to succeed. Result: the beginning of the tx was in the middle of the year. Does this attitude was good? I can still change my mind and opt for the conventional tx now ...

I am going right now for my last visit of the PS1 7977 and BMS 790052.  Except for some minor fatigue in the beginning I have been side effect free.  I also went undetected at 7 day labs.  ( I will start a 6 month once a month check to make sure I remain und SVR.

I appreciate that you're having success. Side effects with the PSI are very strong and unpleasant? ? I pray that I may be contemplated by one of the new tx!
my best, Lia

I am currently in week 20 of the Atomic trial (12 weeks of Inf, Riba and PSI, then 12 weeks of PSI only).

All I can say is the 12 weeks I was on Inf and Riba were pretty hard to take. It was getting worse every week.  

The results so far of using PSI-7977 are really good.  I went from 10 million viral load to zero in first week of treatment.

My advice would be to get in the trial if you can.

is right. Here in Brazil it starts after Carnival. I will also have to go to another city, do all the tests again, except the biopsy. Day 26 I'm going to Botucatu city, where the study is going to happen, to bring the proposal / referral from my doctor.hopefully I can...!!!

gonnabhepcfree não mencionou isso, mas eu acredito que ela é GT 3 e só levou uma semana para ser UND se bem me lembro com PSI 7977 e BMS 790052. Ela pode corrigir esta informação, se necessário. By the way, eu tive que sair da cidade no meio da minha seleção para entrar no PSI 7977 ensaios. Não foi um problema. Eles gostam de acomodar seus participantes para experimentos. Todos em seu país sabe que você não pode interferir com o carnaval em 21 de fevereiro !!!!!!

gonnabhepcfree did not mention it but I believe she is GT 3 and it only took her ONE WEEK to be UND as I recall with PSI 7977 and BMS 790052.  She can correct this information if necessary.
