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 for hanging in there and putting up a fight. I have heard about "llama lashes" in the past but have never even seen a decent image of them. They actually *sound* kind of pretty. ♪

So happy for you. God Bless and pray that this desease  is gone never to return..........

Congrats...I love to hear when people finish...even at it's best, this treatment can be exhausting and anyone who can make it throught he whole thing comes from tough stock!

Take care of your self, it will take a few months to get everything out of your system, remember to keep up the water intake!

Hi Mo. Well done! I remember the scare you had about a month ago. You moved past that and crossed the finish line! When is you next triathlon? Cheers, GB

[stormy456]

Woo hoo!!  What great news!  It must feel strange (and wonderful) not having to take pills all day long.  Now on to SVR!!

[ceanothus]

Congratulations on reaching the finish line! Be sure to check back in with your SVR news when that arrives, and send those good-health vibes back here for those who are still in tx.

[flcyclist]

Yeah Mo!!!  As you know, so glad to hear yet another warrior crosses the finish line.  Well done my friend.  The reality will begin to sink in as you realize each day no more meds and begin to feel just a little better.   Hope to hear a SVR in 3 months.

[crigger]

  It was a hard race but you finished . congrats!  I wonder  if you could use that stuff called Latise if you could keep the llama  lashes . I do not like mine they curled up and the look like smashed curly fries.... it is weird

[aj7538]

Spool happy for u. Each day u will feel better and stronger. The relief at being free of all mess is awesome. Enjoy your holiday

[brianmo]

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
