Post I QUIT!

After 32 weeks of shots, I decided to call an end to it! I took 6 kits of pegintron to my doctor to give to someone who might be struggling with insurance companies.

I don't feel any different, yet.

Cool


WES
WHOA- I -I I dont know what to say- what brings this on, after enduring 32 Wes, thats only 16 more for 48, or at least 4 more for 36, is there somthing we/I can say or do to help, I know its your decision, and it sounds like you are very serious, but Wes, it sounded like you had this treatment under control.

Did you consider switching treatments, others elsewhere had such bad sides from Pegintron that they were told to quit, as a last effort, switched to Pegasys and most are doing much better,and can now tolerate,people are switching vise visa also, but the Pegasys seems to have the lest sides.


Man, you were so close,please let us know what is happening, please,

Try to be Positive, and Be Well-
Neil

Well, I think the car accident is what really kicked it in the azz. after damaging 3 disks in my neck and doctors here all afraid to treat pain (maybe they're keeping it for themselves ) (one doctor told me it was all in my head and that there was no reason for me to be experiencing any pain) we decided it was a good time to stop. I'm sure I would have made the entire 48 weeks, or longer (as planned) if the car accident hadn't happened or if i could have located a good pain manager.

I'll still be around to see how all of you are getting along.

I hope your 12 week PRC is CLEAR, Neil!!!

Ya'll take care!

Unhappy

Wes! What car accident? How badly were you hurt? Are you ok? I had no idea you were in an accident. Please let us know.

As for turning in the Peg. Since your a 3A why not. You cleared the virus at 12 weeks so you will be fine as far as the HCV. I know you discussed going 48 just to make sure but most research suggests thats not necessary for 2 and 3s.

Take care of yourself and I really am concerned about this wreck. I just wish you could find a doctor that would cover all your needs. I know from experience that sometimes you have to exaggerate your pain to get their attention.

Thanks ITR-
Right,[ Ribo memory ] Wes, you are clear anyway and have beat the Dragon bug, yup.

Still, I did not realise you are still in that much pain, I feel for you bud, had two discs remove, know that road too well, I hope you can find a Doc to help you with that, keep trying, if it takes 10 Docs, to find the right one, thats what it takes,

Funny huh, when you do not need drugs, it seems some are stuffing your face full, then when you do---

I wish you the best in news and health, quickly wes
gonna miss your great contribution to this board if you do not come back.

Be Positive, BE WELL WES+
