Thank you all Post TX and anyother questions
Thank you guys,
I finished TX yesterday. I feel so relieved now. No shot tonight. I have to say the positive attitude made all the difference in the world. For those that don't know me I'm 2B VL 1mil+ Grade 3 Stage 4 52 yr male. I did 24 weeks Pegasys/Copegus. Go for PCR Monday. I was undetectable at 12 weeks. I want to thank all you guys out there I couldn't have done it with out all the knowledge I recieved from this family. Now the wait to see is I'm 2B or not 2B. My mind is making me feel good. I'm going to do something outside tomorrow. I know I don't have any strength yet. I just want to go outside and enjoy the sun. All you newbee's it is a real roller coaster ride on TX but it does end and it works most of the time. Keep on fighting. We are the Pioneers and Warriors.
Love Peace and Happiness.

yes I do still have my appendix and when its hurting and I push on it...it does hurt but not worse. The pain is almost right behind my naval. Sugeries I have had is 3 C-sections. When I push on it though it doesn't radiate back and forth. Its hard to explain and really..I have never ever had anything like this until lately and that is why I'm thinking it has to be the medicine messing up my stomach. It has been a burning feeling there during the day but it seems to be more noticable at night when I'm still and can't seem to get comfortable. I appreciate so much your input and I do know its hard for you to make a diagnosis over puter.
Vicki, Thanks and yes I will ask my doctor about this on monday because he could prescribe this for me at the pharmacy!

hello, i just did my last shot on feb 6th..i did 60 shots in 56 weeks...genotype 1 viral load was 685,000 stage 1..liver damage less than 20 percent...but did not show negative until week 16 although my viral loads dropped after 1st month.i had my labs done the day after my last shot and had a dr's appt on the 12th...after the 1st week of post tx i was feeling a little less fogged and more positive in my thoughts,i still feel the fatigue a touch.
my last appointment almost had me floored ..my dr came in and said its back....i could not believe this at all..we talked of how this could be...i almost walked out then and there.he left the room biefly and consulted his assistant ,then came back in and said i was still negative.the misunderstanding was not fully explained but the assistant came in and said yes he was tested down to 50 and is still negative...not tested down to 5. my dr said that the lab techs are now saying they can test for hep-c down the level of 5,but he doesnt believe this to be proven or correct. i assumed that if i was tested down to 5 that i would be postive again,but not very sure. i have my labs done again a month from my last appt and go see him 2 weeks later..has anyone ever heard of this testing down to 5 ?? i not sure of the appropiate measure after the numbers.

Just wanted to see how you'll were doing,you'll were the two that really gave me some good advice when I first started tx and it really made things alot easier- I know they were alot more of you'll that helped me out, but the fog is quite thick in da swamps down here. Only 12 more darts to go-YE-HA or is it HA-YE. All in all it hasn't been a very pleasant hep journey, but I can surely tell you one thing thatit sure has bee a memorable one. Galen, still using the Nioxin, plus 5 or 6 other people in my family started using it also(They all love it). Well just wanted to chat a bit, I know you'll are probably lurking in dem shadows out dere someware- See Ya'll- HD
YIPPY,PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE DONE AND CLEAR. IT'S SO ENCOURAGING. YOU ARE IN THE LORDS HANDS, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU!!! (Philipians 4:6-7) I PRAY YOU WILL BE CLEAR AGAIN AND AGAIN.
i hope you will still join us here. i feel we have become friends. You are a very special person and have so much to give to others. GOD BLESS YOU JIM.
(i am going on month 5 and suppose to only go 6 months, but i am going to present some scientific research to my doctor to try to persuade him to let me do closer to the 48 weeks. (due to being so overwieght). i read a study that says being overwieght,and particularly a bmi of over 50%, is as large of a factor to clearance as geno type. i am 3a.) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
LYRIC AND DOCSGOLD, i was scared to death to start the meds too. but, i have been pleasantly surprised. i take the pegasys and that seems to have much less sides than the pegintron.
i have been on this board for well over a year and i waited almost a year to start tx just because i was so afraid of the meds. i so wish i would have started as soon as i found out. i know i must have gotten worse in the time i waited.
the treatment was/is in no way as bad as i had built it up to be in my mind. i could deffinately work if i wanted to, although my biggest side effect is that i'm not sleeping well, so i'm glad i don't have to work right now. You guys should do well, i think the worst sides are rare. The rest, MOST,in fact are treatable,tolerable and revearsable. i've heard of alot of people doing pretty well on tx. we all have our complaints. a few do have a really bad time but not the majority.
HARLEYDUDE, GREAT TO SEE YA BACK ON BOARD AND DOING WELL!!! I GUESS LIFE MOVES ON... THERE ARE SO MANY ""OLDIES"" THAT I DON'T SEE THAT OFTEN AND MISS THEM. SO WE ALL NEED TO COME BACK AND SAY HI FROM TIME TO TIME AFTER WE'VE KILLED THE FOE. ONCE WE BUILD THESE FRIENDSHIPS IT IS HARD TO SEE THEM GO. GOD BLESS, SANDI
