hi again everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

This is mostly in response to Janets inquiry as to

whether we werent posting anymore. I think the answer

is alot of us sort of sit back and read and dont

always have something to say...but, bellieve me, I ,

and Im sure many others read posts daily and learn so

much from this group. Yes, often it is bantor between

two or three people, but thats fine too. I for one am

glad to be a part of this group, if mostly silent.

I am a realapser (after peg-interferon and ribivarin

48 weeks). I was clear at 6 weeks and at 12. After

dropping alot of weight , they reduced my treatment

and (in my opinion and that of Dr Ben Cecil and my new

specialist) that may have been the problem. Treatment

should have continued or maintained the level. But,

either way, Im now seeing a ID specialist in Sarasota

FL who does clinical trials . (On the web they are

Bach & Gadafsky). I go back in April to see what /if I

will start treatment or a trial. My VL is 4 mil but,

as of last year I had very little fibrosis, so they

tell me I have time.

Though Im not too symptomatic, its an emotional

rollercoaster, as you all know,, deciding whether to

go thru it all again. Im not willing to sit back and

wait for " the cure " so will likely start again.

Sigh, Im a Leo (see I have been reading, and

Liz) and have been thru infertility treatments and

still never sufferred depression til this monster came

out and grabbed me.

Im here, Ann
