what were your viral loads prior to starting treatment? Is a viral load
of 8 milion harder to treat? Randy

Randy-
Mine was 9.5 million a month before I started. At 12 weeks, I cleared. I'm a
1a and have been on Peg-Intron/Riba for 37 weeks now...so far so good. I'm
not sure about your second question.
Life is good

Mine was almost 3 million iu/ml.  Lower viral loads are said to have
better chances of SVR with genotype 1's but that shouldn't discourage
anybody.

VL was 1.7 million, my 12 week svr showed 3,100 there does not seem to be
any correlation between rate of repro and killing the bugger off your liver.
Hep C var. type 1b Pegetron 48 weeks.  22 to go.  LFTs show largely in
normal range since about week 8, my gastro nurse says that is good news.
Normal is a range, and from one end of the range to other is the same.
Normal is normal, there is no further gradiation about whether it is high or
medium or low normal.  She says no data correlates to quantitative
assumptions about VL while in tx.  Too many variables.  What does lupis do?
