Day 20 On Abbott Drugs

Not really a question. More of a statement of hope.  For those of you who are tx or thinking or waiting to treat.

Today is day 20 for me on the Abbott Sapphire I trials. I just got my labs back from May 6, just 14 days into treating.
Came back <25 UI/ml   barely detectable.  By now I should be UD. I feel pretty good most of the time. I have moments of nausea, headaches and severe fatigue. But I seem to snap out of it. Probably from the Riba.......
Anyway.....just sayin

I'm happy to read about the abbott trial.  I was trying to get into a trial years ago and was bugging the NP about getting me into a trial.  Finally..... I shut up and asked; "what do you like?

She said she like the Abbott 12 week w/ RBV.  
That was probably quite a while ago, but it is still a great trial. I know you will do well.
I am in Gileads ION-1; quite similar to yours.

That is great news for you as well......You are going to do great on this tx. It really is a breeze for the most part.

My tx is on hold at the moment. Just a day behind. While they try to figure out this anomaly on my leg that has developed since Sunday......
Very large purpura from ankle to mid calf.  They have ruled out Riba rash and cryo so far.  
Feel wonderful though. Fatigue is ever present. Emotional at times.  I have 32 days left.....

Good luck

Wonderful news Cgal! I am on day 21 today. I have had pretty much the same sides as you . Nothing major. My labs after on for 7 days were great. Viral load dropped to 27 . (Was 1,400,000)
Hope you continue to do well.

So sorry I have not been back.  I have a little trouble navigating this forum.
Thank you to all for the well wishes.....I hope you are all doing well.
I am feeling good some nausea still at times.

Not sure if this is allowed. But it is weighing heavy on my mind tonite.......
