As an aside, I spent much of Sat and Sun trying to repair my daughters
laptop, which is misbehaving, (I'm told by someone who proclaims to know,

A year ago I was looking forward to July 30, 2004 with great
anticipation.  Last Friday it finally arrived and I took my 48th shot of
Pegasys.  Instead of celebrating the end of tx, I spent the day
scheduling my 4th liver biopsy to check the status of my liver since

the corner!  He is feeling better and his kidneys seem to be kicking in.

Is there anything I can ask for to end this queasy feeling?  I have
taken 18 days of infergen, plus riba.  The inside of my mouth is so
