Hi Mike

Good to see a fellow Texan. I'm finishing up Triple Treatment myself in about 5 weeks but with Incivek instead of Victrelis

Good luck with your treatment and let us know whats happening. Lots of good info and people here.

Hi Mike, glad to hear you are UND :) this forum has a lot of experienced people who went even thru multiple tries with interferon based therapies. Also a lot of support and tips for clinical trials going around in USA (mostly). So you will have proper way of online support here

Hi Mike welcome! - I'm glad you found us. I'm not on the Victralis, but I'm on the Incivik, riba and interferon. I'm on week 9. I've received so much kind sincere & compassionate help here. I wouldn't be able to do this w/o them. Use the search button at the top of the page for questions - or just ask. biggrin Kel

Hi Mike and welcome - my husband is another who is also just finishing up on 48 weeks with Victrelis with 5 days to go.  He's had a bit of a rollercoaster ride at times, but has managed to get through it all.  This forum is a great support.  All the best.  Caroline

Hi and welcome, Mike.

As an F4 you can expect low platelets particularly with the Victrelis triple. I did 48 weeks and ended up with a platelet count of 38,000 but they soon come up again after EOT. How was your 8 week VL? The fatigue and Sx are worth it and we've all had them. The Forum was a great support for me, and helped get me to the finish line. The Rant'n Rave section was very useful at times. Best of luck. Cheers.

Hello from Texas. My name is Mike and been on the TX for 11 weeks now. I have had some good day's and very bad day's. My Sx are feeling very weak,dizzy,headaches, body aches,congested, confused,etc. I had low platetes and Dr put me on Promacta which is slowly bringing the count up and starting to feel a little better but not much. I really like the forum and it's like you get more help here than I do at the Dr office, Thank You!
