2nd Treatment: Daily Infragen and 2x Ribaviren - Have I company?
I have Hep-C Gynotype 1 a.
After the 9/11 Blood Drive I donated blood and then got a yellow
postcard in the mail from the Red Cross saying I have a potentially
fatal blood disease...please don't donate again.
[[[[[ scream. cough,... oh holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! ]]]]]
I did 11 months of weekly Interferon and 2x Ribaviren. It was an early
"sole therapy" now have a 2nd incarnation in dual therapy with strong
results.
I was ZERO detectable virus from the first month's bloodwork until month
10 week 2.
Shucks.
Ending January 15th, 2006, I did 11 months of Daily Infragen and 2x
Ribaviren. I was ZERO detectable virus until 2nd Post Treatment Blood
Work ( 6 months after ending treatment. - I was still ZERO detectable at
6 months after ending treatment.).
Has anyone else gone this road I just went? What was your experience?
Is there any serious tx after what I have done?
I'll compare and contrast my experiences on this board if anyone is
interested.
Thanks

Hi Hal!  I'm confused....did you beat the dragon, or didn't you?  
My experience is a bit different than yours, I used daily Infergen for
awhile, did several weeks of Pegasys at the same time I was doing daily
Infergen, along with ribavirin (1400mg/day) and amantadine.  Finished
off the tx with just weekly Pegasys and the oral meds after I'd been
undetectable for awhile.  That was the formula that worked for me, I'm
still undetectable more than 2 years later.  

Look at it this way, Hal......  At least you won't have anyone picking
over your body for spare parts when you die.  They still might cut the
top off your head to examine your brain, tho.  :-)
