Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification. I suppose that’s one of the risks of being in a trial. Hopefully, your friend won’t have developed a ns5a resistance from the failed experiment.

No sorry Nadia,but i will ask.nhs wales do not do many such tests.It used to annoy me that they didnt do an il28b test before starting you on interferon.That was a good indicator if it would work or not but they just used to prescribe interferon anyway,even up until recently.

Way to go……..

I’m the same….. Food food food

Feeling pretty good.

Strangely the meds seem to be quite strong in the last couple of hours before the next one is due. They used to spin me a little in the first few hours but now it’s a little like being stoned for the first two hours or so.

Hi guys, by ‘spin’ do you mean actual dizziness?
Wonder what causes that and if it’s anything to do with blood pressure..

Sounds like you’re both doing well, enjoy your lunch

Thanks Nadia, I have some ‘instinct’ that the Meds can poss. change pulse, heart-rate, BP
I think regular observations on these, maybe from GP would be handy.

I still get a few headaches, but I’m full of a cold at the mo anyway, so may be that.

I felt a bit ‘giddy’ for a couple of hours after taking my first dose, but put it down to excitement/nerves (I felt the same way when I was encapsulating the Dac).

Anyway, first blood test soon Nadia? Those results’ll make you feel tons better.

I was the same. Two weeks was long enough for me to wait, so I had a vl test (which the clinic messed up and had to re-do) and GGT (my only high liver reading on the base line tests). GGT result came back the next day and had dropped massively. The meds were working!
