much concerned and need help

[salvo]

I have not been around for a while after failing my last trial in Miami. My liver is all scared and I'm sure much worse then 2009-2010 but now My new doctor has put me on Pegasys proclick (180) the usual Rribavirin 1200 mg a day and the new Incivek 750 mg every 8 hrs. I'm close to 70 years old and I guess this will be my last chance as he put it, so I'm very concerned with the outcome and what to expect during this 3 month although I still might be on the old medicine beyond this 3 months. I'm going on my second week on thursday and I'm not feeling too good. My urine has changed color like I never seen it before and I feel bad all over. I'm also taking pills to get this Amonia out of my system and thats one indicator I'm much worse, because I never suffered with this before. Any in-put would be helpful, and if anybody was and is in the same situation would be helpful. Thanks

This is july 15 2013, and I have been off med for 4 days, since 7/11/2013. The way I can explain it, I've been on a flight for a year and I've just landed. Why I've put it this way is because I'm really not feeling too good and hoping its just the long flight.----- For a few months before it ended, I have been getting these low grade temperatures, that even the girl that checks them asked me if I dont feel good. ( from 88 to 100.1), Now that I have completed this 48 weeks,I'm going for blood work on the 26 and the doctor Aug.1, so I guess I wont know too much for another 2 or 3 months. My Question, is why am I getting these low grade fevers? and if they are related,when are they going to stop ?

It is so cool how you have kept this thread going throughout your treatment. You have come such a long way and now you are almost finished! Hang in there and keep us posted :)

My last blood work was about the same, not too much of anything, still UND and am hoping it will stay this way. Going on vacation tomorrow morning and four more shots to go. Last one on 7/11/13, what a day, to celebrate.Didn't  pick it by choice but I'll be happy when its over.See you soon.

Hi Salvo

Going down to 800 at this stage is not aa huge problem so no need to worry
I think once UND is achieved and also once Incivek is finished, dose reduction is not something to worry about, especially if it is minimal

I do not think that right now this will change in any way your success. you have done really well so far and things will be good more than likely

Fingers crossed  :)))

Good to here from you, Salvo. And really great to here you are still UND. 9 weeks to go, on the home stretch for sure now. That time will go fast, at least it did for me. You will feel better once you are off treatment.

I am so glad you are keeping us updated and we all want to here when you attain SVR. Here's wishing you SVR.  : )

I'm reading some of these old posts and I am grateful for all the help and knowledge. At this point because of reading some old posts, I was reduced to 135 on the shot for a long time now and just recently was reduced to 800 mg on the riba from a 1000, so That worries me a little that never went back to the required amount, but hey I'm still UND so I have to be happy.
