Best of luck with everything. A few weeks ago my doc cut back my riba because I was so anemic and very sick actually. I must say I feel much much better already and sleeping better too. He also tried to put me on an antidepressant but those
kind of drugs made me feel awful....I have researched and opted for St John's Wort and feel just fine....considering.... I am sure you will feel a big difference soon!  :grin:

St. John's Wort is specifically cautioned against while taking Incivek. Just wanted to let folks know St. John's Wort reduces Incivek's effectiveness..

Hate to speak too soon but I am feeling like I might just be able to make it through treatment.   Anemia is getting better and the awful, painful stiff neck and swollen glands I have had for the past 3 weeks is getting better too.   Starting to feel human again.  But then tomorrow is another day.   Soldier on everyone.
