Wonderful! Such HOPE now, esp. for us "hard to treat" Geno 1a's (1b's turning out to be "easier"). Hope for ALL of us who have this damn virus. Now your new life BEGINS!

Awesome Sofimoore!!! I knew you could do it!!!! ;>) ;>) ;>)

How are the headaches and other sides you had before?
I hope they're all gone for you.... I'm so glad that better days are just around the corner for you dear!

Hi We3616, did you get my PM I sent you a while back regarding your trial @ UPMC? Please let me know if you did or not so I can either send it to you again or just wait for your response. ;>)

Respectfully,
Henry
