Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Congratulations Lee, that is fantastic news! And only a short time left, yay, I am so happy for you. That is just amazing that your VL dropped so significantly and such a good sign that you will reach SVR. Well, you really have something to be thankful for that is for sure!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Lee, Good for you! That's great to hear! What part of AZ are you located in? I moved out to CA last year but may be moving back to sdale, and will need to find a new liver doc. Am planning to start tx in the Spring, depending upon insurance " nonsense " getting figured out. I am a bit different from you, type 1b, 4.3 mm RNA, but I plan to clear this thing too!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Jax, my fiance, Tom went to Sahuaro, class of 1982. Spade went there too....small world, huh? Yes, it's hot, but my ex is there to help with the kids and my " support system " is there, plus a possible job with better health insurance. Cheaper to liver there than OC, CA.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Congratulations , how awesome for you ! Clear at 12 weeks I had my viral load tested last week and got the results yesterday. After 12 weeks I went from 27,400,000 to 0. I think this shows that a high viral load doesn't mean that treatment won't work. I have been doing Pegasys and Ribavirin for 13 weeks now with 11 more to go.I guess that I am lucky that it is genotype 2b. All my other blood work is normal. The side effects haven't been too bad and I still haven't missed a day of work. I do wake up every day with a headache take 2 advil with coffee and that has been working.
