I crossed the Finish Line

[brianmo]

I did it, I am done. I crossed the finish line at 10 pm last night when I took my last pill.Woke up this a.m. and realized I did not have to get food into my body!! What a relief.

I thank you all for your support. This forum has been a God Send of information and friendship.

I did triple Vic, Riba, Interferon. GT 1a, cc, 2/2.  First time tx

No helper drugs but reduced Riba at week 19 from 1000 to 800.

HGB stayed about 9.2 all of tx.

The worse side effect?  Itching. Scalp, body.  LIke little itchy crawly things all over me.  Used all lotions, creams, antihistamines.  

Best Side effect?  Becoming UND and Llama Lashes, I love them!!  (doc says they will go in a few months :( )

Congratulations!  And thank you!  I'm doing the same therapy as you and am still at the feel-dead-tired-but-I-must-take-pills-fall back down stage (only week 8 now).  Gives me hope I really can get through this.

Lama lashes?  Got them and for me they are horrid.  They curl up against the lenses in my glasses and continually smear them.  Don't know why the ladies always want them long and lush!

Everone keeps asking me if I use that stuff.   No, there is no way I would do a drug for lashes. I have to keep mascara on mine because they curl in every direction and  scratch my eyeballs!!  I have "crazy lashes".  Yes, it was a hard race, not one I hope to ever put back on my race calendar.  Lol

Thanks everyone......mo
