Seem to have lost you, and I recall there were a few of us. 4 2/3 days remaining on Incivek. 12 week labs today. (at 4 weeks the viral load was too low to count but still detectable, thus my dream of only 24 weeks total treatment is out the window). I guess if it's still detectable after today's they may t...

Ice on head to sleep?
(Preview)
It's weird, but I'm finding that an ice pack on my head, face, and temples gets me to sleep much quicker. I use one that the Pegasys came in, wrap it in a paper towel, and in bed I move it around my head for 15 minutes or so. I don't know why, but it feels great and is very relaxing.
