I have had a rough weekend. I have been very irritable and achy lately. The

also have had a sore throat for a couple of days.

Indianapolis,IN USA

the hospital now.  This past Saturday was week 18 of treatment, but they
are stopping it.  Her last test for viral load was negative, but her

influx of new posters but I have come to the conclusion that it is
better they be prepared for anything less than a successful outcome as
in my case. I had the PCR results yesterday and the little bastards ...

Well, I know I've only had one shot, and a few days of Riba, But maybe
