Yahoo! 24 wks of tx finished!

I took my last shot of Interferon last nite!  Whoo! Hoo!  Finally done...I can't believe it ~  all of this is behind me now and I have everyday that I'm UND to look forward to!  I want to thank all of my friends on this great forum ~ I wouldn't have made it thru 24 weeks of tx if not for the encouraging words and help form my friends on this forum and my wonderful/understanding 16 year old son!
As many of you know the last few months have been unbearable for me and everyday a struggle to make it thru the day only to look forward to the next day's meds!  I made it to the end....and hopefully SVR forever!  I will take my VL test on tuesday and should know by next wk if I'm still UND.  Was UND at wk four and wk sixteen....so chances are I'm still UND....I hope...I hope!  Lol
I wish you all the best in your battle with the dragon!  SVR wishes to you all!

Congrats on finishing your shots!! Hopefully you will
start feeling better slowly but surely.
BUT....
I thought 24 weekers had to take one more week of ribavirin just
like us 48 weekers after last shot and then get bloodwork done.

Is this not true?  I know I have 2 shots left to do (2 weeks) and 3 weeks left of
my riba before my EOT bloodwork per my Dr.

Could someone explain if there is a different between EOT re:Riba...

Congratulation to have escaped from hell.
I did my first tx 24weeks and it took 3weeks for my mind to get back to normal what a relief.
Then it took me 3-4 months to get well from severe knee, joint and lowerback pain, but it was easier to handle once the brain functioned.

You gonna make it take care
And may the good God bless and protect you and your son.

Thanks for the congrats!  I'm soooooo relieved I'm done....can't wait to start feeling like a human being again (not a zombie).  Lol

I'm sorry you had such a terrible time with the sx and couldn't make it thru tx.  It's a rough ride ~ and with your other condition it must have been unbearable for you!  Being UND at 12 wks is great....I hope and pray that your test comes back UND!

How long have you been off tx? I think I read somewhere you stopped on the 4th.  I hope everyday off the meds is a better day for you....I'm looking forward to getting my taste for food back too!

I'll keep in touch and please let me know how you're doing!

best wishes.....darla

Thats wonderful - congratulations! Wish i could of made it that long but am glad I at least got 13 weeks in before they cut me off. I test in a few weeks - was UND when last checked at 12 weeks.

Let me know how you feel - so far my first week after tx has been worse then any of them but I have autoimmine syndrom. The good news is food is starting to taste better and my mind is starting o recover a bit.

Let me know how you are.

Take Care,
