RE: Week 10 Shot

During week 10 of the Incivek triple I felt my worst. That is when they had to give me Procrit for my hematocrit values, which were way low. They cut my Ribavirin down to 600mg, then later raised it back up to 800 for the duration. But the relief at finishing Incivek was just two weeks away and I kept going. When you finish Incivek your whole outlook on life will improve so much. The itching, burning, etc. will disappear so quickly. And not having those three doses to do so carefully each day, with three fatty snacks is such a relief.

Congrats on your amazing progress. You are so close.

You've done very well Brian and like Kellie said, it seems like time has treated you well by moving quickly! Once you get past the Incivek I believe you'll see a pleasant break in part of the drug routine. Not having that extra dose of medication and fat three times a day will be wonderful! Hang in there Brother, the future is near...
