I picked up my last batch of meds on June 5. I visit my specialist on June 25 and if the results of my last blood test are favorable / und , I will be done treatment that day ( 34 weeks instead of 48!) 2 more shots to go, I cant wait to rejoin the human race.

Not to worry I will still be around--still have 4 weeks to go. Seems like the tx has saved the best for last! LOL!
The hands are better--just kind of stopped --it has been really strange. Now it is just constant headache--of course sitting through 2 days of a Texas lawyer talk about Special Education Law in a room full of principals and superintendents is a recipe for headache.

Hooray for the last box! I'm so happy for you! It has been a long journey. I'm glad we were able to share it. I just did my "halfway" shot last week....last box is a long time off for me, but I am inspired by you!

Just ordered my last shipment too- last injection will be August 3 and last Riba August 10! I'm super itchy and bumpy, even on palms of hands. Maybe because summer is here?

Yay Shep, last box..... very exciting. I think it's funny that whilst doing this treatment I actually look forward to the the next shot as it is another one down. Life generally seems to rush by too fast but during this chapter I am willing it to rush by faster, it is a shame really but there is reasonable rationale to it.
I'm counting for you- FOUR...............THREE...................TWO...............ONE, Blasting OFF and getting on with living whoo hoooo
This goes for nohcvforme & wilson dog too, super heros

That`s great Shep, the end is in sight at last! I`m glad you`ve got some relief for your poor hands, and freebies are always good for brightening our days!
Take care and all the best of luck with your labs next week.

Thank-you guys! Can't wait for everyone to place their last order!!
Saw the PA--she is awesome--they were worried that uric acid had built up but it looks like something else--just major joint pain. I think my thyroid meds need another adjustment. Go for labs on Monday. But bless that woman--she found some topical meds to rub in that have eased my aching hands somewhat. If it gets worse--then have to go back & she was talking about maybe quitting early---have mixed feelings about. Anyway.... she gave the medicine & did not charge me for the office visit. Then went to the grocery store & the produce guy gave me bananas for free. It been my lucky day!

Ah, Shep my friend. This is a great day. I will open my next-to-the-last box of pegasys and riba tomorrow, so eight more weeks to go. I am so happy for you, and I'm really not that far behind. And yes, what a trip it's been.

Now--waiting to go to the doc--my hands were not getting any better--swollen and painful. So broke down & called --they said come in ASAP.
Oh my--it has really been a long journey
Shep, I can only imagine how happy you must be! I hope that the doc can remedy those swollen hands.

Good deal on the meds, Shep. Those little milestones are significant. Hope they are able to help with the hands.
