You are so welcome. It's what we do. Congrats on making it to week twelve on Incivek. That means your quality of life is about to get a little better. Sounds like you have made some really good choices lately. Keep it up. Also, on a more serious note, it seems you may end up on the 36 week program, since you may have had a little virus left at week 4. Me too. So stick around and learn with us. It is so much easier when there are folks around that know what you are talking about. Alan

Hey everybody new member here!  I would like to personally thank everybody here for discussing treatment issues.  I'm on week 12 of Incivek Triple Treatment,  THANK GOD!  Undetectable after week 8, awaiting week 12 results.  Thank God again!

I started this treatment based off information from the brochures and what my doctor told me.  But I soon found out there were a ton of issues beyond that, and there's no way a brochure could explain what I was going to go through.  That's where you all come into play. 

I reached a very dark point about a month ago.  I have a boss that chose the worst possible time to get all super motivated and try to get us to work twice as hard, and doesn't care what I'm going through.  I have friends and family members that I had to break down and explain to them that even though I had a smile on my face, I was faking every bit of it and feel like dog doo doo, all the time.  The depression, the staying up late feeling like taking an SOS pad to my itchy skin, the constant irritability, the feeling like I'm missing out on my brand new 1st born child right now, a whole bunch on my plate.  But the good news is that I have support through AA and I have been seeking God big time.  But for wherever I seem to slip through the cracks beyond that, I have this site to come to read.  And I've used the information, a whole bunch! 

Just wanted to say "hello" and thank you so much!  Just as in AA, it helps to discuss the problem and the solution with the treatment as well.
