Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 yes,, daily interferon shots,, its not pegylated so it wont stay in your system as long,, it can help if you are having trouble either clearing or if you relapse,, Ask Liz about it, she did daily shots for awhile but had to stop because of her heart trouble,,Aleshia <aleshiagolden@...> wrote: Thank you all, Daily shots i would give myself ?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Retreatment: I am not sure, but what I understand is that your doc will monitor you viral load after treatment---as long as it stays down that is great progress and great for you and great for your liver. There are some new drug treatments too coming up with better results, so the horizon looks good for all us,good luck,edJackie on <redjaxjm@...> wrote: maybe the doc can switch her to daily shots and kick it the rest of the way out,, what do you think liz?elizabethnv1 <elizabethnv1earthlink (DOT) net> wrote: If you still have a viral load your doctor should continue the treatment unless your sides are life threatening [Hepatitis_C_ Central] Re: suggestions for supplies to have on hand Moisturizing eye drops(not the get the red out type).

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 well the viral load replicates every 4 hours so there is no way it will stay down,, and unfortunately, most ppl when they relapse, it replicates with a vengence and rockets sky high for awhile but then it usually settles down to the pre-treatment level... I have never heard of anyone keeping the viral load down with tx,, it either goes undetectible or it comes back with a vengence... edward wrangler <ewranglerasc@...> wrote: Retreatment: I am not sure, but what I understand is that your doc will monitor you viral load after treatment---as long as it stays down that is great progress and great for you and great for your liver.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am sorry I haven't updated everyone here yet about my echo results . It seems that I dont have an enlarged atria but mitral valve regurgitation and with symptoms of congestive heart failure . So I dont know if a pacemaker is still an option ,,I do know that mitral valve reguritation requires valve replacement .
