diagnosed in 1992 as 1a
waiting to get in the Boceprevir trial, had initial bloods done already
extreme osteo pain
fatigue and forgetfullness are unbelievable= pre-tx
I think I've pushed off the inevitable tx, long enough and I'll be glad when I start...
All you ppl on here// support other's thru their pain and suffering while txing are da bomb!! It was a Godsend when I found this place to hang my hat...
Gen 1b
Diagnosed sometime in 2001
started tx 1/4/08 1000 riba and 180 interferon cut riba to 800 about week 30
Stage 2 fibrosis
UND at 12 weeks
might i add just the love my tx, with a side of sides!!!!
Genotype: Originally was 1A/1B, now testing as 1A only.
Infected in 1983, tested positive for non-A/non-B in 1985 - which was turned into Hep C in 1994.
First treatment (TX) was in 1997. I have treated 10 times now, but I've never cleared - just dropped 1B is all.
I've already tried Telaprevir (VX-950) during Prove 3, but got the unlucky draw of the hat and was randomized into the non-Riba group and did not clear (most likely because of no Riba).
Stage 2 Grade 3 (but according to liver doctors - borderline Stage 3) after 7 years of bridging fibrosis.
I have no prospects of treatments on the horizon, any time soon, but I have faith in God and I know that he is in charge of me and whatever happens to my health is no surprise to Him.
Basically, my only symptoms- off of TX- are just that I'm super-duper tired, and I have right upper quadrant pain quite frequently.
