Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 , Thank you so much for replying. I feel pretty tired and sore. The RMSF settled in my hip and has caused some pain there. I was hospitalized last week and they put me on meds fo rthe dizziness (it has affected me neurologically). My Dr.s have ben helpfui and I pretty much so thank them for saving me from anything scarier than this. I went in thinking I had flu, right away they said well let's treat you for a TBI and see what the labs show. My Dr. pretty much so fell out of his chair when the bloodwork came back. He looked at me and said " we have a bunch of work ahead of us you ahve super high levels of RMSF " He called some collegues and they ahve called at least once a day to monitor my symptoms. I feel very blessed and I just pray at some point mhy energy will return and my dizziness and pain will dimish. I knwo this is not a gauruntee but who knows. I am in Raleigh NC however due to my timeline the tick was picked up on the PA VAborder. UGH a simple trip to Amish country has made for a interesting story.

I believe I got infected 4 years ago and I have been on antibiotics for a year now. Are you just seeing your regular MD? None of them seem to be very helpful or well versed in this disease. I know your post was from a few days ago..how are you feeling now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi Terry, Thanks for the welcome. Are you gentotype 1a? I am. I might get in the Vertex clinical trial Phase III. I would most likely have to do pegasus and ribavarin with the VX950. They are getting excellent results with that new drug. Adie Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: Hi Adrienne, welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi, So sorry to hear of your relapsing. VX950 is supposed to keep genotypes 1 from replapsing. There are many other new medicines in clinical trials now. Maybe you can get in one for genotype 2s. Wouldn't your treatment work if you went on it for a longer time? I wish you well.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks. I read your 2nd message first. I take Dr. Zhang's herbs. There are 2 that are good to take during treatment they lessen the side effects. There's a third one you can take for depression.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I had brought my alt counts into the normal ranges with the use of milk thistle alone, to the point that my doctor told me to stop them until I had my next blood test, because at that time people with hepatitis and normal alt/ast counts were not considered good candidates for the treatment. On that note, I just had another physical and my liver function is still completely in the normal range. Hallelujah!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 , this drug is a protease inhibitor like the drugs they use for hiv . Go to the Vertex site on the net . Unfortunately the earlyist the new drugs will be available is in approx 5 years. I believe vx 950 has only been tested on something like 12 people with nice results . The upcomming study will enroll around 400 people ,last i heard 200 at s Hoppkins in Baltimore land, my home town and 200 at a hospital in Florida . You Can find all the current info on up comming studys at www.clinicaltrials.gov this gives locations dates and all the info you need to enroll. Around this time their are quite a few hcv study drugs you may want to look at .Schering has a protease inhibitor granted fast track to market by the FDA too. Go to the clinical trials site to find a trial in your area, hopefully you will find one that you are interested in. Watch out though early trials are not set up for you to get a cure this will be a side benefit if you are luckey, they are usually set up to test for toxic properites like bad reactions how well the drug is tolerated ect,ect always ask what the study goals are. When you sign up for studys you sign papers saying the drug company is not responsible for ANY adverse reactions, cancer, death whatever so you may want someone else to be the first batch of lab rats then if things look ok and you cant wait for FDA approval and thats no gaurantee either , celebrex ,bextra , vioxx all had FDA approval and now its come to light many people who took interferon / ribavirin are having side effects that will never go away ,eye probs , joint pain , arthritis , brain fog and more . Check out Delphi forums on the net their are many hcv groups their . Go to the index on delphi forums under health and wellness ,support and recovery to find the hcv groups, a few are Janis and friends hcv , Seekers hcv support, Hep hideout, Hep central, Hep city to name a few .Most if not all have chat rooms and are much better then the groups on . You have to register but its free. I did 18 months on pegintron type 1b ,took me 8 months to get my first viral negitive and another 10 to get the cure 18 months total . That means technically i was a non responder .Usually most docs declare you a non responder if you dont show a viral negitive at 3 months some will let you go 6 months. I worked in a viral research lab and knew things most docs never learned ,like how to get rid of hcv the first time and be sure of it . Its easy ask and i will tell you how to do it.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 AdrienneMy last round of treatment started with 1 shot daily plus riba varin for four months then shots 3 times a week plus Riba for another 12 or 14 months.My Dr. is waiting for protease inhibitors to be approved for hep c.
