first the good news...

still undectable at week 24... however... the dr wants me to do another 6 months because i treated before... i told them AGAIN that i never treated with Riba/peg only with peg and virimadine on a blind trial and as far as i know virimadine was a failure for a lot of people... so now they are consulting with the pharmacy.... and they want me to go to a dermatologist about the thing on my forehead that wont go the hell away... and my hair continues to thin ...another 6 months i will be freaking bald... but i should stop complaining... still undetectable ...

IF you dont have liver disease why would they ask you to do treatment? That makes no sense, were you on it for cancer or MS or something? Do you just mean interferon by itself, saying 11 months (by the way I did 18 months) makes it sound like 48 weeks of treatment for HCV, liver disease.
