STILL UND

HI everyone. Juat came from Doc . I am 2 weeks after last injection and I am still UND. The doc said I can skip the next 2 months and come back in October. He feels confident I am going to beat this thing. As far as how I am feeling I am still plagued with the rash although it is not as itchy, have quite a bit of scarring on legs. I have had a headache for about a week off and on this is new for me.  Besides that and some GI problems I am o.k The doc said that these meds stay in your system for 4- 6 months. Anyone heard it being that long,? I am just glad this may be coming to an end.

Last injection 13 days ago and Riba last pill on the  10th . Do you meant to say that I may have this rash for 6 months. Did you make it to SVR. I hope so after such a long tx.

That's terrific that you finished and are still clear.  For me it took about 2-3 months to feel like my old self again - energy wise.  Give it time, its a gradual process.  Exercise helps.  We'll all be watching for you to post SVR.

Congrats!

ps did you mean that you had your test last week and this is your second week without interferon or 3rd? I found that the INF got out of me in about two weeks but the riba not so quickly.

Oh yeah it's that long for the riba usually sorry......took me well well over a year (but I treated for 72).

Not sure why you got a 2 week test instead of a 4 week test but it's great news that you are still UND and I hope you make it easildy to six months and SVR.
