The Fly
(Preview)
A fly lighted on my table just as I sat down a decade ago. Quite alarmed, I jumped up and called the exterminator. Over he came and tented my entire house; pumped it full of poison. "It needs to stay for a year!" he said. All through those long months the fly looked dead. The exterminator f...

OK, so I guess I can post in the "on treatment" section now ;)... yesterday I took my first daily dosages of riba and incivek and had my first shot in the evening. Except for waking up with a really ugly bitter taste in my mouth (which is still there), I haven't felt any other sx so far.

Victelis or Incivik?

Hi all, Just staring week 3 of Peg and riba. The plan is for 26weeks of Vict to be added after week4. Geno 1b, VL 1.2m. In Australia we have had delays in getting access to the protease inhibitors.

How fast do you feel the interferon effect?
(Preview)
After first shot it took 6 hours to take effect, now its minutes at week 18. I understand because it accumulates in the body. Warm feeling in the body that brings a weird feeling that makes me uncomfortable in my own body. Yesterday, literally 5 minutes after my shot, the "cleansing" began....

Incivek why 12 weeks?
(Preview)
I've heard that there is something about building up immunity to it? The reason I ask, is that as I get near the end of my 12 weeks- I seem to be having fewer sides? Or is 12 weeks just what they found to be optimal in the testing? Why not 10 weeks or 14?
