well I was officialy taken off treatment Feb. 15th after 20 weeks of a 48 week treatment plan. My blood platelets droped too low and would not come up. However got my 3rd undetectable viral load test back in a row. I'm praying to stay that way, Doctor said he doubts it but it has happened before.

 Will not ever do that treatment again.....EVER

 They did reduce my riba. to 600mg once a day and the peg, to 90 mg. can't belive how good I feel now,getting more energetic,

Just hope It's not temp. You all keep up the fight.......best of luck to all

Ted, sorry to hear you had to stop tx ESP after
20 weeks. I am hoping your SVR remains.
How low we're your platelets?

Ted, lets still hope for a SVR. Sorry to hear about your platelet response. Had they tried reducing the Riba? I can relate to never doing this again, still not sure why I'm doing it. I'm just hoping this will take care of it once and for all. Now you can get on with getting your health back, funny the day to day stuff takes on new significance when it is taken away by the sides.
