reached UND b/w week 12 and 16.  1200mg copegasys and pegasys once a week.  i took every shot and pill as directed, it wasnt easy but it defininatley was worth it.  10 mths after treatment i started feeling normal again. i drank lots of h2o didnt miss a day of work. i kept working because it kept me from dwelling on my condition which is the reason ithink i tolerated the sides so well.  its not an easy thing to go through but i didnt have a choice.  the worst time for me was 2 wks without electricity during hurricane katerina and not being able to get off my street., but i survived that too. i couldnt leave town b/c iam in the medical profession.

Thanks Teri
