VL up, Scared

Worried today, some of you may remember my VL at week 4 had actually gone up. I saw GI yesterday and we are going to continue till week 24 ( i am week 8-9 now)
This is my third time on TX,  I have relapsed. I am kind of freaking out,  I am very determined and stubborn.  But usually always hopeful.  I feel despair today.
I guess my question is has anyone else had a VL increase, then recovered from it and became UND?
GI did increase infergen to .3 daily, instead of 3 X a week.
Any info you can share would be great

Maybe, I need to do some research on it, I am not sure what it is exactly.   I have read a bit about it on this forum, but have to look more in detail. I could surely use an edge@ this!
Thanks doin!

Would you consider asking your doc to start you on Alinia?  St George is trying this in combo with infergen and riba.  It might just give you the edge you need,

best wishes

Thank's again everyone,  Other me on the EC, >:) I can't tell you how glad I am to have found you all!  

I was looking back at my tx on peg last year and noticed I started slow then as well. So feeling more hopeful today.

EC  Deb you and wyn both have insprired me so much since I started popping in here, all of you have! I have a great support system at home, but at the end of the day, if you never been through it, you just don't get it. So I am glad to have you all.

The everyday shots I think are no fun, but finding them easier (so far anyway) than 3 times a week. Infergen leaves your system quickly, so  my body never adjusted. I am not saying this is fun, either!

Riba kicks my butt,  But like you my EC Italia  friend I am so determined to get through this UND.  I was going to nag you but thought i better shush! :>)

I have a lot of faith, I spend time in prayer, so all prayers are welcome and returned,

Wyn I called nurse and asked for my original BL  VL, and so hoping soon.

Hugs to you all!

WC Italian Debby!
