Congratulations to all three of you. I felt the same exact way after I finished the 12 weeks. Amazingly I was just thinking about that (12 weeks) now near the end of the 48. I've all but forgotten those 12 weeks of insanity. For me the weeks after Incivek were better. Wish I could say that I've adjusted to the sides or that I'm coping 50% better, not true but maybe 10-15% better. Find something to hang on to and ways to keep your spirits up - will get you all through to the end.

We are all in the same lifeboat

Ditto.  I'm on week 16.  The first 12weeks were rough.  I had a shot of procrit on Thursday and feel even better now.  I still have problems with dry heave/vomiting 1st thing most mornings.  It was nice to so a few chores around the house today.

Rescape, Congratulation, I am so happy I was free from my Incivek on April 29. I am already feeling better. I am so lucky I am only through rash in the frist two weeks at the begining of triple treatment, then it was gone and not come again. I am still taking Riba 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening.

I am still waiting for my VL result on week 12. My doc told me my treatment should be 6 months.


Best wish for us all

Hello to all,

Finished my last dose of Incivek on Thursday; can't tell you how happy I am not to have that dragon in my belly anymore.  Between a reduction in my riba dosage and a couple of weeks of procrit and Neupogen my blood counts have improved dramatically.  I actually feel more like myself in the past week than I have in the last three months

Thanks to all for the encouragement to stay on the path to full recovery.  So many upbeat posts helped to get through a few desperate weeks.  Even work is somewhat manageable now!

Keep the faith and good health to everyone who posts.

Mark

1b, undetected at 4 and 8 weeks, fingers crossed.
