12 Week -UND !!
« on: March 08, 2011, 09:57:15 AM »
Hi. 
Well, I just got a call from the Clinical Trial Coordinator at Duke said she got my results back from Friday bloodwork and I'm UND !!!  They won't tell anyone their 4 week results. I hope at the end of the 24 weeks. I am having some issues with my livie enzymes going up every week so instead of waiting four weeks to go back I have to go back this Friday.  I felt that I was doing everything right so the only things I know to change are:  I'm only drinking filtered water; quit eating girl scout cookies every night, and we aren't going to stop at Krispy Creme or Biscuitville on the way to the clinic.

I would never be in this happy spot if it wasn't for this site and all the people on it --I'd still be crying and walking into walls.

Now, hmmmm . . . I gotta keep that dragon down!

Yikes! Did 24 wk clinical trial with Lambda Interferon. UND at week 12 & 24. Relapsed after one month. No VL test at weeks 4 & 8. I would get myself tested at week 4 and 8 next time I treat if the doc doesn't order it.

I think that is truyl my favorite word...UNDETECTABLE!!!!!!!   That is awesome!!!!!!  I have heard of others having their liver enzymes go up, are they going up enough for them to be concerned????   

Girls Scout cookies are evil... if they are in the house.... I can eat a box at a time, especially those carmel delights... they are just evil... I cannot stop myself!!! I would have to have someone take them out of the house and God forbid I catch them taking them out of the house during one of my riba moments   :ahhh: :devil:

Undetectable,  what great news!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks you guys. I have really appreciated everyone so much  :kiss:

rjs -oh yeah -those carmel delights -they not evil  :angel:  Every last one of them -burp!
My liver enzymes are up to AST 115 and ALT 131 from  62/96 when I started the study. I guess they are worried enough to make me come back to check next week, but they won't let me start taking Milk Thistle (allowed if you already took it)  :uncertain: and won't tell me anything to do for it.  :surprised:  If they aren't down after this Friday -I am going to eat a lot of cookies!  The only reason we eat dinner is so we can have desert! I find myself perusing the counter where we keep the chocolate and stuff -just looking  :whistling:.  Mr. ScaredyCat said he wasn't going to eat any sugar for a week either -what? Now the dogs can open candy wrappers? Who IS eating all the candy?  Good thing I put those cookies in the freezer -  :happy:

Good going, but I gotta know....

Which girl scout cookies?  I'm thin mint fan.  But I think yall have the cookies mixed up or something.  Girl scouts are good and healthy young ladies who sell only calorie and fat free cookies.  Least I think that's what that little girl said........
