| Lloyd  Enjoyed your book.  I suffered through 6 months 
                    of the Inteferon Ribavarin combo (against my better judgement) 
                    a few years back with poor results and have several friends 
                    that have suffered a variety of side effects on that poison. 
                    Out of about a dozen 
                    I only know of one that got to the "undetectable" 
                    level and remains that way after six months (and he had one 
                    of the less potent genotypes). A couple of others were undetectable 
                    only until several weeks after completing over a year on the 
                    crap. The rest, like myself knocked the numbers down a bit 
                    or were non-respondant.  I knew better from talking to others who had gone through 
                    the horror, but took a gamble that it would work for me (mostly 
                    to appease my loved ones).  The only thing positive I take from that experience is to 
                    pay closer attention to my gutt fealings about what may or 
                    may not be in my best interest.  Thanks for sharing your hard won experience. May your health 
                    continue to improve!! God bless, and F**k the pharmaceutical cartel.R.
