inquiring mind update
« on: November 02, 2011, 05:31:13 PM »
Got my 16 week VL results yesterday, still UND!!!! This despite being on 600 mg of riba and stopping incivek a tiny bit early. Hope it holds  :grin:

Also...responded really rapidly to the procrit. After 2 shots my hemoglobin was up from 8.5 to 11.5. As a result I can go ahead and up my riba back to 800 mg.

Haven't been on the site as much as I'd like because I'm still pretty tired;the NP said my body is still compensating since I was low for over two months. Also,experiencing some depression despite the 40 mg of citalopram, but not going to add anything to the mix at this point. It is manageable. Overall pretty excited about where I'm at with treatment right now! Hope everyone is well.

IM, it is so good to hear from you!  Congrats on the continued UND!  That is indeed encouraging to those of us behind you along the way.  I am in week 14, get labs again this Thursday, hoping the procrit has picked up my blood some.  I feel some better, just did shot 3 of procrit.
Welcome back, we have missed you.  Hoping you continue to have manageable sides, and don't be a stranger.

Hey Anna!

     I've been thinking about you! Thanks for checking in! I know we don't talk alot but I always see you on here! So when I didn't see you on here lately I started to worry a bit. I'm glad your UND still and glad you are responding so well to the Procrit. I'm sorry to hear about your depression. Me too girl. I hope you feel better soon. I'm here if you need a bud!
