pegasys

Avatar f tn I am 20 weeks as of yesterday and I've been feeling the kicks on the outside for about a week and a half now! It's the best!!
1986676 tn?1329862471 Can only speak from experience....to a degree. My Pegasys was lowered from 180 to 135 mg, in part due to the rash debacle. It has been lowered for three weeks now. I have six weeks of treatment left. The doctor is going to increase the dose back to 180 this week and see how I react. Although my rash was largely a severe reaction to the Incivek, he wanted to give my body a chance to clear the majority of the rash.
3939475 tn?1364445378 I was told by my doc that when you get further along that there will be less fluid so the movements will be stronger
Avatar f tn t sleep whole night and woke up this morning so late.............We are thinking of stopping the treatment as the size effects are unbearable......Hubby is a businessman and has to work full day so it dnt look possible to continue the treatment especially when there is no guarantee either the virus will be finished or relapse again............Need ur suggestions what to do.............
2114131 tn?1399240871 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??
Avatar f tn Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) is available as either 0.5 ml preloaded syringes or 1.0 ml vials that have to be loaded by you into the syringe. Both contain 180 ug of interferon. I received one shipment of the 1.0 ml vials and didn't like the extra hastle and volume to deliver. I requested to receive the 0.5 ml syringes from then on. I agree that the 0.5 ml preloaded syringes are easier to deal with and the smaller volume is also nicer.
Avatar n tn The main reason for CBCs is that the blood can tank so fast - both white counts and red counts - and you need to be aware of what is happening. I think the once a week CBCs are a good idea. Have you discussed with your doctor what happens if the WBC or RBC go down too low?
483814 tn?1214311480 You think I tell my co-workers I have cirrhosis of the liver and am failing to clear the virus right now? And maybe I'll need to have a liver transplant sometime in the future? No way!!! I may be ill but I'm not crazy!!! The love of my life left me when I told her about my illness six months ago. She just couldn't handle it. If I couldn't trust her to support me though the tough times I certainly don't trust people at work.
Avatar m tn Seroconversion is just a technical term to describe the losing of an antigen and the gaining of its antibody. I think a true seroconversion should mean not just losing the antigen but also the gaining of the antibody. Some people will lose the antigen without gaining the corresponding antigen immediately. HBV produces several antigens. The two most tested are the e and s antigens.
Avatar m tn I make ok $ and have high deductible insurance that I get through my job Doesn't pay for jack ..I applied for assistance through the Patients Access Network and also the companies of the meds I'm taking ..
Avatar m tn My rash I believe is from the Riba and the Pegasus. I am not on Telaprevir. I have read that the Interferon attacks rapidly reproducing cells like HCV, CA, skin, hair, mouth and intestines. Then with the decreased WBC, RBC and Neutrophils it takes forever to heal. Leaving me feeling dehydrated and thin skinned. On my first shot that I did with my NP she warned me to stay out of the sun.
3159290 tn?1384128440 ve begun my own personal war against this disease by making the public aware of its existance and that it can and does kill. the local paper featured me and my guide dog "which is my picture here on this site". its my objective to make anyone and everyone aware of this disease and how its contracted. if i save just one person from aquiring this disease i've succeded in my goal. i just simply refuse to loose my life to this disease without putting up a fight.
Avatar n tn "Due to the intensity and major side effects of the Incivek, it has been advised to start with the interferon/ribavirin treatment." If Incivek has changed their treatment protocol as you claim could you please post the link to that info, because as far as I know incivek does not have a lead in period as does victrelis, when you start treatment with incivek you start all 3 drugs at the same time.
Avatar f tn I stood there after shaking and kicking the machine just staring at it with watery eyes and by the grace of God, an older gentleman came by with his steel toe boots and kicked the **** out of the mac hine and my beloved chips fell he then patted me on the back and said its ok hahaha im gyessing hes been through that before. Preggies and their hormones.
Avatar n tn I am on my second week of 180mcg of pegasus a week and 800mg of copegus a day. So far I have not had any horrible side effects like I have read about. The worst I had was last week a few hours after my first shot I had a annoying headache that lasted about 5 days and I'm not sleeping to well at night. I was just wondering if anyone has had the same reaction as I do and if it will stay this way.
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 m tn , project scientist for HALT-C and a program director for the Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the principal sponsor of HALT-C at NIH". I would recommend educating yourself on the latest treatments and finding a doctor who is aware of the latest knowledge in the field of Hep C. Find out how you responded to previous treatments. When do you drop more than 2 log. When did you become undetectable etc.
Avatar f tn s any other way to help it other than remove it through surgery, and like Pegasus, surgery is the last thing i want. Especially considering im only 18.
Avatar f tn I haven't been been feeling well the past couple days and I've noticed my dog seems to be a little down herself. Sleeping more, loss of appetite, etc. Could she be having sympathy for her pregnant momma or am I just imagining this? Anyone else experience your dog acting to your own symptoms?
173145 tn?1301700850 ) So we are thinking Lola or Iris. Iris is the name of a greek goddess and we have a weiner dog named Hercules so i think it fits but i also LOVE lola. HELP..lol tell me what you think.. O and there are pics in my profile.
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 n tn No its only been two weeks since I finished those meds. My dr. said within the 1st week of meds the C was indetectable. She said that probably was due to the type I had, the easiest to treat? Its all new to me. So , it sounds like I need to do a follow up with her then wait that 6 months to see if its still true. They also said I had stage 3 cirossis, but no one has addressed this as of yet. I assume they will? It sounds like there is alot more I have to learn.
Avatar m tn The mornings are horrible, the nausea is still so bad, and I feel that horrible withdrawal craving in the pit of my stomach. The cravings are ridiculous and I have a lump in my throat and really scary thoughts keep popping in to my head. It has been a little over three weeks and there are signs of improvement but I am having a very hard time handling my life right now, I have no interest in doing anything , nor do I know what to do with myself.
