There you have it. I think that everyone on the board that participated in a Boceprevir trial was clear after 4 weeks of blue pills (only two of us didn't clear and almost certainly got a placebo in our trial).

Pretty amazing stats! And congrats to you!

Great news on being und, but like greatbird says it doesn't mean its gone. Sounds like your in the arm where you don't have any options..... Lets hope they don't have to reduce to much. With bocep mine got as low as 8 but i was allowed procrit but even though in time my body adjusted............ Best to you

My hgb dropped with the boceprevir but I was allowed Procrit (which I hated, but it worked). Hopefully yours will stabilize without dropping too much Riba. Don't forget that UND doesn't mean the virus is gone, it just means they can't find it. That's why we treat well past testing UND.

Hang in there. I had a lot of trouble with bending and stairs, but I didn't go below 10.

It's still falling and was down to 9.6 as of last Friday's test.
They dropped another ribavirin last Monday out of my daily intake.
I am very weak, can't walk far and extremely breathless.
Hopefully they will lower it more now that I am UND.
