Post your stats

Back in the early fall I started a spreadsheet on everyone starting treatment, mostly with the triple therapy, since about July.  There are about 85 screen names on it and I have missed many.  when I see people posting their PCRs and bad side effects, I try to get them on my spread sheet but I miss so many.  Can you help me?

This is what I want:
Start date
Whether you treated before or were treatment naive and if before, how many treatments and were you a responder, null responder, or did you have a break through
Are you cirrhotic
If you know your genetic IL28b - CC CT TT
VL at 2,4,6,8,12 - whenever you get it
Victrelis or Incevik or other
If you stopped Incevik early, when
If you had a really bad side effect
Whether you have anemia and have dose reduced, had transfusions, or procrit
Whether you have neuptopenia and have dose reduced or use neupogen

I will try to find a way to post it and keep it updated so we all can look at it somehow.   If nothing else, I can scan it and put it in my pictures.

VL at start: 14,400,000
Incivek
Treatment Naive
Grade 2, Stage 2
VL - week 4 - detectable but under 43 (lowest the lab goes)

Severe internal rectal pain (felt like shards of glass passing). Started about 4 days into treatment, peaked, subsided about 6 days later. Returned last week and has now subsided again. (This pain is well beyond the "discomfort" the literature states as a side effect. I broke out in a cold sweat and thought I would pass out, and I am a pretty tough person.) Hope that is not TMI, LOL.)

I included my starting VL because it might be interesting to know how many people with high VL get to SVR.
