UND, woohoo!  Plus you've turned the corner on the half-way milestone.  From now on you get to count down the weeks instead of up.  Great to hear Malcolm!

All the best, Dave

clap.gif Good on ya,  congrats, giggles about the rooting..  had to get my google on for Australian terminology,

so I see said the lab tech to the medical person.. You've had quite the journey.. I hold my coffee mug

up to you Malcom you & the others are an inspiration ...  I do have concerns as I am a petiete shelia and I

know  one size does not fit all... Glad others on here shared as well as their Doc's realized meds needed to

be adjusted...

peace and love MJ aka Stephanieflowerpot.gif

They lowerd mine quite a few times last year I don't think it's unusual to lower Ribv with drop in HG      I couldn't tolirate 1200 Mg for long     For me I never went  down below 9.4 and when I did get close to 9   I was taken down to 3 ribv = 600mg  i was very short of breath after that stayed a 5 Ribv

2 weeks ago  I was at 9.6  taking down to   4 Ribv

 my HG is just over 10.?  so back to 5 ribv tomorrow They adjust me all the time

 That's so great to hear- I'm cheering for you Malcolm!   wootj.gif

 

 

-I was going to choose the word "rooting" instead of "cheering" but some little birdie told me I ought to google that; apparently the word "rooting" means something very differant than what I intended to convey:

Thanks Jill. As a medico, I'm often a lousy patient. I've been very compliant so far, but I think I need a dose reduction to get through another 24 weeks!

Kiwi, I know you won the Bledisloe! I watched the bloody match, and we were disgraceful. Good luck for your last few weeks.

Hi LC, as my Hb has dropped below 9, I'll be pushing for a reduction in Riba. Here in Aust., they are not keen to do that. Next VL probably not until 36 weeks, but I may get one at 30 weeks if I'm flagging.
