pegasus for kids

I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?

Although I visited ophthalmologist for this question I was not persuaded that Pegasus would not interfere my Uveitis negatively. On the other hand, hepatologist told me that I may take corticosteroids if my Uveitis gets worse. I saw the post by Willy50 in this thread http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-C/HCV-Clinical-trial/show/1414377 . So please does anybody knows something about this? I mean corticosteroids plus Pegasus ?

I feel like I have been hit by a truck migraines hot cold just a daily hangover on steroids. I am a non responder to Pegasus and switched after 4 months and have been on infergen for almost 2 months. It is working and I feel blessed just wondering how other people get by when it feels like you just can't get a moment of relief getting up to grab my son from getting into things is a challenge. I'm ready to give up please help on how you made it through....

I don't go to the doc for another 10 days but I've been doing some checking and I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to pay for treatment. I have transitional medicaid and it pays for 3 scripts a month. But I don't know if there's any limitations on what scripts it will pay for. Has anyone here been able to get on any government disability programs like through social security or through the state? Does anyone have any info on programs to help pay for meds?

Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.

The nausea and stomach pain is not typical for thyroid cysts/nodules -- however trouble swallowing, neck pain, cough, and hoarseness may be due to the cyst. Would consider treating with an antacid (eg zantac or pepcid AC or prilosec OTC) - as acid reflux would potentially cause all your symptoms.

Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.

I am going into week 3 of my treatment for hep c,I'm currently on pegasus,ribavarin,and incevek (telapravir) anyway my queston is I usually take it 10 in the morning and 7 or 8 at night. And I wanted to know is there a time limit for how many hours apart?cause the bottle just says one in the morning and once in the evening.anyway let me know.

The before insurance price for 180 1 time a week pegasus and 800 riba was 2200 for me.

Seeing that there not doing any more trials in my area for Sofosbuvir I am now looking at Faldaprevir.Is anyone on a current trial with that right now.Also if you failed treatment with Pegasus,Riba and telaprevir would I still be able to do it?

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??

6 million and started with Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy at third month my pcr become –ve I left the treatment after 24 injection but after 35 days of breakthrough when pcr become +ve I started the treatment again . now I getting Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy . my question is that at this moment I have taken 28 injection .

I am about to start Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy for the second time. My doctor said that I may not have been on this Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy long enough the first time. I did it for 11 months. would be interested to here opinions of what myi chances are of the treatment being sucessful this time around. I was really suprised that it come back. The first time I did the treatment I became anemic and looked like a ghoast until I was able to start procrit.

I am on vacation for 3 weeks now in Germany.I brought my ribavirine and interferon with me and stored my interferon in the fridge.Today i found out that the fridge is on average 10 degrees Celsius where on the package it says it should be stored at between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. Did i inject my self for three weeks with interferon that didnt work??What should i do with the one injection i still have in this fridge for the remainder of my vacation?? Is 10 degrees really to high??

Thanks a lot for both of u for such good advice......

I am on Sovladi, Pegasus, and Ribavirin for 12 weeks—and they are working—even on my uncommon genotype 4! Over a third way through treatment, day 33, 51 days to go! Doc has adjusted Ribavirin up and down and back up again, my hemoglobin has evened out, white blood cell count down a little bit, but otherwise other blood levels are normal. So excited this is working, makes the temporary side effects worth it!

Not even cortisone is able to extinct Uveitis (I have been suffering for 30 years ). Possible blindness. For this reason I am additionally afraid of Pegasus which may cause different autoimmune disorders by itself or make worse already existing ones.
