Russ,

       What Genotype where you. I believe you/me had the same type. Hey i'm
looking at May 1 my last day. the Parkinson's like side effects are almost
gone...I beat my 10 yr old in a foot race last week. In Nov I couldn't even run
10 feet...woobling and shaking bad. Now Im alot less shaky and take pride in
the spring in my jog.

                     

I'll see my gastro Friday and discuss it with him, my biopsy before
treatment was Moderate Periportal Inflammation (Grade 3/4). mild
periportal fibrosis with early septal Fibrosis (2-3/4). Thanks for your
reply. Tim

Dwight; Sorry about your news also. I would appreciate you telling me
more about the maintenance dose when you find out more. My doctor didn't
have much to say when I brought it up a couple of months ago. (at that
time virus was undectable.) thanks for your response; Tim

sh.t, Dwight!!  That sucks!!  I feel bad for you.  It doesn't seem fair
after working so hard to get rid of the virus that it would come back or
not go away at all.  Don't give up!   Elmo

Tim, sorry to hear the news. I just got the new today myself. Only made
it to shot 25 this time. My doctor was discussing the possibilities of
doing a maintenance dosages the last time I was in there. I go in
tomorrow to find out what my options are. I'll let you know what I find
out.

Got news today that my viral load is 634,000 after 48 weeks of pegasus
and riba. Ended treatment Jan. 9, 04. Original viral load was
13,500,000, Type 1-a. See liver doctor on Fri 27. Don't know if I can
handle another round of treatment anytime soon. I have talked to the
doctor before about a maintinance dose but he never made any comment.
You hep veterans give me some feedback.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes I was undetectable at 12 weeks. Thanks everyone for your kind words.
