Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Jeezzzz Guys, you're gonna have me exhausted!!! I'm so thrilled for you Pete. Way to Go you phenomenal Dragon Slayer you! *Doing the patented Kanga Dance* Love anne Good news People I have some good news. Yesterday I was told I cleared the virus, after 8 weeks of treatment. I have genotype 1b, have had it for 33 years, and viral load had been as high as 16 million. I was taking Roche drugs as part of a Schering Plough study for patients with genotype 1. I had inflamation without fibrosis. So all I can say is, never give up hope. Don't let anyone scare you from trying your best to beat this disease. Of course, although yesterday was the day everyone with hep c hopes for, the day you learn you have cleared the virus, I'm not out of the woods yet but certainly headed in that direction. 40 weeks of treatment remain, and I could end up with some damage from the treatment. At least now I can plan ahead, feel confident I'm not being sucked into a slow downward spiral, maybe get a girlfriend, etc. One of the worst things about hep c is the cloud it hangs over your head. I feel that's gone now. Woohoo. What a long strange trip it's been. This group has a great spirit. People sharing mostly positive energy. Keep up the good work. Sure, some people need chewing out once in a while for venting a little too much despair. But I feel we should tolerate some bad behavior. The important thing is to include everybody with hep c into this group. This should be a place to share our crying towels or celebrate each other's success. Just try to be nice! my best to all Pete It's a pleasure having you join in our conversations. We hope you have found the support you need with us.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 > Congrats, Pete! > > Cleared at week 12, > > (15 down, 33 to go...) Way to go ! I was exercising today and thinking how different it is now that my virus is cleared. The liver is not working so hard to filter out virus, so that no longer causes my fatigue. It seems I'm able to exert myself a little more than before, though with my low red blood cell count, I'm still not able to work out hard. But I'm wondering if I'll be able to ramp up and finally build strength as treatment goes on and the liver gets even healthier. I'd appreciate any comments on that from those who've been there, done that. Just hope I can survice the reamining 40 weeks of treatment without damage.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 i also have a rash where i took my first shot last week. didnt show up for a day or so but its still there just where the shot was lol didnt know what it was --- s wrote: --------------------------------- Since I mostly post to whine about the sides, I thought I'd post something positive. :-) After about two months of a rash on my torso and arms that I could swear got worse every day, I'm finally seeing a bit of improvement. It seems to be getting a bit better in the area where it first started. Maybe it's running it's course.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 When I was doing the peg/riba, I used to get a red, round circle around the place I gave myself that shot. I tried to go in a different place every time but that didn't work out too well. Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
