Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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 ?
Avatar f tn Pegasus and Dr. Lupo, I have almost the exact same thing. I have a multicystic nodule on my left thyroid and every now and then i get a pain in my neck followed by a minor sore throat and some hoarseness due to a cough i usually only get when it flares up. I recently have been getting an upset stomach almost everytime i eat and i thought it was due to my acidic levels.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
483814 tn?1214311480 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hello group, I am new to this support group but unfortunately not to Hep C or to treatment. I'm a repeater. I was dx in 2004, I am 56yr old, genotype 3a, first bx was a horror story, but results pretty encouraging, stage '1 to 2' with 'some' fatty parts. VL: 4.5 Liver enzymes were really elevated, I had been starting to see effects of chronic hep for a couple of years before I was dx. Extreme fatigue, no stamina.
Avatar f tn Chronic just means that you have it more or less permanently. Acute just means that it is in the onset stage and may of may not become permanent (chronic). Your viral count is relatively low. The G.I. doc should tell you more. Good advice about the STAT-C drugs. You may have to wait for FDA approval of STAT-C drugs but I would be wary if your doc recommends standard treatment on Pegasus + Ribavirin unless there are some unsual circumstances. Best luck.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone, I wanted to share some great news, and also thought this may be encouraging to people who have been told they have less chance of SVR because of certain factors. My husband is txing with Pegasus and Riba- he's a Geno 1a with probable cirrhosis. He also is slightly overweight, over 50 year old, and has diabetes- all negative predictors of SVR. He started tx with a viral load of 2.8 million- by week 4 it was down to 1200. By week 8, he was UND.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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??
862235 tn?1336060295 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.

7469840 tn?1409845836 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!
Avatar m tn Characteristically hepatologist said for another autoimmune disorder I have (Uveitis) on my eyes that Pegasus may negatively interfere in case that is not contracted with Hep-C. In the oposite case ,that it is contracted with Hep-C, Uveitis may take advantage by interferon too. Only way to know this is just applying the treatment. I understand you because I am surprised by this facts too. But be sure I understood this very well and I confirmed the facts as well.
Avatar n tn I will be starting treatment shortly and I'm wondering what to expect insofar as side effects from Boceprevir. I'll be doing the Pegasus and Ribavarin in addition, but I've already done those two and know what to expect. I'm slightly apprehensive about the Boceprevir. Help?
