Good luck Edie! That first shot is usually pretty

rough, but the next ones are much, much easier. Did

you sign up for the Be-In-Charge program?

Claudine,

Yes, I signed up for the be in charge program. But, then a nurse called me

and told me I can't join until I actually start treatment. She gave me some

800 number to call her back, and of course, I lost the number.

Edie not to worry it is normal for them to do that.

When they found out I was no longer on meds because of

work problems they removed me. I have not got in

touch with them this time. To be honest I have not

thought about them till I read this e mail...Take

Care, Connie

Edie great and good luck!

No way would I attempt treatment with interferon without an antidepressant!

Good for you. Even then, treatment can be a roller coaster for some.

I " was " a 1B, 1.3 million and currently undetected on combo down to 200

whatevers haha. And just 5 more weeks to go! yippeee!

How long will you be doing treatment? Is the Amantadine (sp) in pill form?

Be sure you get a baseline CBC before you start treatment (I'm sure the

study will do that for you). And ask them what you can and cannot take while

on treatment. Sometimes they are picky.

/Alley:

Because I am a 1a, I will be on the treatment for 48 weeks, unless I don't

respond and then I will come off earlier.

The amantadine is in pill form. I will have the once a week injection of

interferon. I am going to start on the Friday after my Tuesday dr. appt so

I can get the worst of the shot over with on the weekends.

Gosh, I really hope this works. I was reading that my chances of success

are about 47%. Claudine was saying I might have a slightly better chance

because the 1b's drag down the 1's as a whole.

I hope I am not too sick to work. Need the income now.
