No More Peg For Me!

Yup, that's it, shot 49 of 49 has been done, the fridge is empty of little white boxes filled with syringes, there's a space on the center shelf where they used to be.

Feels good to be done with the shots, only 35 little riba pills left now...

As usual I feel pretty knocked out so I'm off to bed, I'm saving my thank you everyone post till I'm done with the dastardly riba BUT...

Thanks to all you wonderful folk out there who have made the journey so much smoother!!

Epi xxxxx

That's wonderful - no more injections.  Soon the pill jar will be empty as well.  You did it!  Now on to a virus free life.

I've been thinking about my fridge shelf, soon to be empty like yours.

Maybe we should put something special there as a reminder. Any ideas? Red high heel dancing shoes? Edible ones?

Congratulations again and hope you're enjoying a deep and restful sleep in magnificent new Zealand.

Congratulations and good luck!
I still have some Pegasys in my refrigerator just in case I get a craving for it. There's nothing like 180 mcg when you're feeling low.
Again, Good Luck!

Congratulations!!!! SVR here you come! I am 3 weeks behind you.

Please make sure and post you post TX info from the R 7128 trail. you will be the first  geno 3 non-responder to post from the trial I believe. There are many who will want to know.

For those who do not know what i am referring to Epi participated in the phase 1 trail of polymerase inhibitor R7128. She was part of the geno 2 and 3 non-responders arm. She has been UND since week 4. The trail drug was only taken the first 4 weeks appears to be great (with no sides) but the peg and riba are still part of the equation for the full 48 with all their wonderful sides.

I will be posting about my geno 1 results as I go along as well.

Congrats to you again Epi, it's been a long ride.

Congrats dear Epi on getting to the finish line with the INF and the riba not far behind.  You've fought an impressive battle and didn't let that dragon have his way at all.  Here's hoping you get to plunge that sword in for keeps.  I'll be waiting on your subsequent PCR's.  Take *good* care of yourself and I hope your recovery is swift.
