4 month post TX and any other questions

[OkieJim]

Hi all in the family,
Just got off the phone with my GI. My 3.5 month PCR Heptimax came back and <B>I'm un-detectable</B>. Next check will be in September.
Is it 3 month or 6 months before I can declare SVR??? Everyone on TX hand in there. It's a tough trip but in the long run the fight for life is worth it.

At 6 mos. is the HCV/RNA test or VIRAL TEST?

oaky-doaky okie!  Sounds like you are on the road to SVR. I believe if you are also clear in 6 months there is a 99% chance of being SVR.  Very nice.

Terrific news OkieJim!  I've been off tx for 10 weeks, but my doc doesn't plan to repeat the test until 6 months (Oct.) and at that time will determine if I'm SVR.  I don't know why some do at 3/6 mo. and others only at 6.  At any rate, Congratulations!!! on the great news. caruu

Does celexa make you tired. I slept almost all day yesterday, or just layed in bed. Today, I went to work, only find out the store was not ready, and now I'm home YAWNNING!! Went to bed at 10:30, slept till like 7:30, so I'm rested. Has anyone else taken celexa, and gotten so tired???

Woo hoo!  Just heard from my nurse and I was undetectable at 4 weeks!!  I'm 2b and had a VERY high viral load going in (33 mil!).  Feeling great, and hope this is a good omen of things to come.
