Hi Marie,

Thanks for the good wishes. I understand the information hunting and

planning ahead stage - I'm still in it myself. I'm on the same

dosage of Peg Intron as you, but am only taking 800 mg of Ribavirin a

day. My doctor prescribed the Peg based on weight but not the Riba.

Thankfully the lower dosage has worked for me - I don't know if I

could handle any higher of a dosage. I struggle with the 800mg a day

as it is.

I wish you the best on your treatment and a virus free future!

Hi Grace,

What sort of problems are you having with the Rebitrol?

(who is hoping it is not chapped hipps and cracked lipps <sic> LOL)
