Undie Dance! Undie Dance!!!
The meds are working, hang tight. This is what we must do right now. Weeks are starting to move along.
Your vl was 11 at week twelve ..... that's awesome! You're responding you're just not a "super responder" and neither am I but our chances are still very good because we are responding. I was 430 at week 12 down from 8 million plus. I hope to be an undie at 16 weeks. My riba was also increased....boy does that add a whole new level of difficult. I think we started tx around the same time - I will take shot # 15 this Friday 7/17.
I am encouraged though as there are new drugs that have a 70% rather than a 40% success rate due for release in 2010-2011 ....if I should need them.
Stay strong and take care,

How is shot six? I'll be doing mine tonight? Still feeling side free? Have a good weekend.
48 yrs old diagnosed a few months ago, geno type 1a, told interferon will probably not help and I would have to be on it for 1 year so I am not being treated at all for it. It is horrible and painful and depressing. Need to learn more about it and find some form of treatment. I'm sure it will be a long road ahead.
