Congratulations to all! Hang in there and suddenly you'll find yourself at the last week of treatment! (was getting sporadic nightmares a month post treatment, about forgetting my pills hee hee)

Thank you Dave, your words were overwhelming...I was never, ever so dependent on anything in my life, like on incivek. I remember forgetting my meds twice at hOme, driving 10 miles, remembering and going back to get them. I am happy though, that I was able to stay on incivek, not a lot if people can. I am also proud if myself, it was hard at times, but I did it. I am not as weak as I thought. Thank you JoAnne and Allison for your support, may you all reach this milestone soon.

Dave thanks for your encouragement, I have three more weeks of Invicek!
I am wiped out! It's kicking me just thankful I am enduring it.
I can bear heat without having terrible spell that lasts for hours.
So no more outdoors for me and this can happen within 5 minutes course it's hot in the South!
Congratulations Margo.... U r my life line and been so supportive!
Thank you both, JoAnne

Congrats Margo! I knew today would be your last dose as you started exactly 12 weeks after me.  How does it feel to be done with the last of the PDPs?  You've passed another milestone and life will get easier in a few days to a week after Incivek detox.  Oddly enough this was the most significant milestone for me.  More than last shot and more than last Riba (which was a few hours ago).  When I finished the Incivek, I knew I could make it.

Best, dave

Yeah!  Soon no more of the PDPs! (Purple Devil Pills) furious

When my pharmacy called to send me more Pegasys I was horrified that I had counted wrong due to brain fog and had four more weeks than planned.  Greatly relieved when I did the math (three more times) and then declined my "bonus" drugs.

My last week of Incivek, I always knew exactly how many pills were left in my countdown.  You're almost to the "good" half of treatment.  Go Margo!

Can't believe one week of incivek left! I called to reorder thd interferon and RIBA and the pharmacy rep tells me that I have 1 more order of incivek. I almost had a heart attack, of course it was a mistake. I usually request my medication to be left by the door. Rep: "Are you sure you dont need someone to sign?" Me: "Positive, it's a private house." Rep: " If someone steels it, you would be responsible." Me:" " Whoever steels it won't be very happy with the outcome." Rep: Laughs. How can such a miracle drug, bring sO much misery.
