In the great state of Texas a woman was charged with negligent homicide for
giving her husband a "sherry" Enema!!! Hahahaha.... It seems that he could
no longer drink alcoholic products by mouth due to stomach  ulcers. Arthur,
for those of you too new to the group, was a great ...

I went to see the eye specialist recently.
When I was on interferon/riba tx, my eyes started watering badly after
about 18 weeks.  This eased after a while.  After tx, I saw my GP
about it and he diagnosed (without looking) that I had blocked tear

Admittedly it is much easier to get a quarter of the way in when you only
have 24 weeks to do, but none the less I remember thinking how far away it

perhaps it is closer to the mark to say feeling much less ...

The bad news is the tx did not work, 6 mos with geno 2b and vl went from
3.2mm to 100m, the good news is I went to UCLA to see a great Doc and he
told me that he has never seen a stage 0 liver biopsy report before, he said

Ok so as our story begins, I'm pretty Ugh last week, only made it to
work one day.  Almost out of Green.   Friday rolls around, and I didn't
make it in to work. DAMN!   My Buddy whom I get my green from is at
work, and I don't have his phone #.  It's going to be a LONG weekend.

I have 3 150 mcg (Peg-Intron) redi-pens and a couple hundred 200 mg
ribavirins left over.
Does anyone here need these?
Anyone that is having to pay for this stuff?

This is my first week since starting treatment without a hospital visit, my
blood work is supposedly stable and so I only need to be tested every 4
weeks from now on.  Not sure I believe the stable thing either 4 weeks seems
to early to tell, and at the last measurement my ...

It sure seems as though the composition and purpose of this n/g has changed
drastically. For some months I felt as though I had found sort of a home
here, now it just seems so different.Not nearly the sort of welcoming
support it once was.Well, even if I do not post, I still will ...

Got my lab results today:
HCV RNA undetectable (< 50 IU/ml), AST 13, ALT 16.
If that isn't a cure, I don't know what is.
Genotype 1, 7 months Peg-Intron+Riba.

This should be a good one for debate...enjoy :-)

Hi Kids,
I'm new to the group and tested positive, haven't started my nasty
treatments yet. I may put it off if this report is true. In case you are
not aware, Forbes.com last week reported on Vertex Pharmaceuticals new
