I was wondering if anyone out there had to have there ribv up to 1400 mg/day? and if so did it work. You see my 12 wk. vl was still pretty high and my DR wanted to up my pills to see if it works.The DR said it does not lower she is taking me off of TX. I have gone 13 wks so far and more blood work next wk. Can't they up the shot more? Maybe if they give me more it will work. many questions I know I need to ask my DR which I will at the end of the month..

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
i did 1200mg of riba a day. I'm taking it that you are type 1a on a 48 week TX. do you know your VL?
i don't know any of the answers to which you ask, i just wanted to wish you well
There would be no point continuing to take those heavy duty meds, when it's obvious that I was a non responder.
But the good news is, they are currently working on new meds for those who are non respondent, or partial respondent, so in time, there will be a new combo treatment for those in your category.
No, frankly I for one, admire your doctor for not pushing you to do more weeks, when it is obvious that you are a non responder.
Sorry that you had to wait 12 weeks for your PCR to be told that you were not responding to the meds, at least you tried.
Love & Respect,

One day at the time.
