Hi Jonathan,

Seems you are coping well. Thats sweet and dont come often. Keep it up that way. I started to do some rowing every 2nd day as well as take a push bike to the office every day (10km = abt 6 miles both ways). They say a man should be sweating at least once a day - LOL.... I dont feel like having a beer or wine, my taste has become different. But i would kill a proper drink, which was never my favorite before.confuse

Anyways, the reason I was posting back is that you mentioned 48 weeks protocol. You are on Incivek, which means if you are UND after 4 weeks you normally should be on 24 weeks.

There is a link to HepC  triple therapy workbook on the forum for more details. Cheers and good luck!

Good to hear this Jonathan, what a great start!  smile  Being in good shape before tx really does seem to make a difference. Fingers crossed for you with the rest of your tx, hope you continue to have a smooth ride!  All best wishes, Jill xx

Yea for you!! I was able to go to the gym for 3 weeks before I put my membership on hold. I get breathless just walking up and down stairs now. Let's hope that you will be one of the 20% (?) that is sx free.

so week one is in the books and i went for my first blood draw this morning.  i have to say that i feel blessed, as other than being a little more tired than usual, i have had no other adverse reactions.  been going to the gym, and doing the same workouts, but i have lowered the weight, just increased the repititions.  i wil admit that when the end of the day rolls around, i am ready for that last popping of pills.

anyway, as i said, i feel blessed.  i pray daily that things continue to be relatively smooth for me, and that it gets better for all of you.  i am looking forward to the day i get that slayed dragon tattoo!
