Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I have a 1 scaring and mild 2 for inflamation. I have been reading alot and some of the articles say that I should be on monitored. What stages are needed to start treatment? Should I wait? I will be participating in a blind study. One group will be getting viramidine 600 mg. and pegylated interferon, the other group will be getting ribavirin and pegylated interferon. I will not know which group I will be in or the results of the testing. Has any one heard of viramiding? It has not been approved by the FDA yet. I guess I am toying with the idea of waiting because I don't have any side effects yet. But I may not get the opportunity to be in another study. No one has any advice??? Of coarse the hospital thinks I should do it but is it worth it at this stage of the game??? Any advice is welcome. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 The best answer I can give you is this: you will never be stronger that you are today. The longer you wait, the chances increase that you will have lost the strength to go through what is a very taxing treatment, both physically and psychologically. I stopped after 4 weeks. And I'm a 46 y.0 otherwise healthy man, but just couldn't handle it...see my post (who am I, anyway). Good luck with your decision. I'm not suggesting you rush into this. Certainly you should weigh the pros and cons and educate yourself. But I found the advice that you never going to stronger than you are today pretty motivating... Hope that helps.
