Pills, pills, pills

[Magnum]

On my next (5th) attempt in 2011, I will try Boceprevir. I also understand that it requires 12 pills per day, along with the previous 6 pills of Ribavirin and once weekly Pegasys.

I would appreciate knowing from those who have undergone this torture, relaying to me the chances of leading a normal life under this bombardment.

I say that, because I need to work, but I also need to cure. All help in knowing the expected scenario is greatly appreciated. By the way, I would like to hear from those who incrementally felt whatever side effects they felt throughout the 24 weeks or longer under this regiment... Thanks....

Magnum, unlike the riba the boceprevir has to be taken pretty much on time, as close to 8 hours as possible. I took mine around 7am, 3pm, and around 11pm. Give or take an hour. My HGB tanked so i was on procrit most of tx, but it also tanked on just SOC. Really for me the only sx that was worse  was the diarrhea....... Over all not to bad, i missed less work this time then before......... A cirrhotic SVR here

Best to you
