Excellent news...for a change
« on: November 22, 2006, 04:40:11 pm »
After a month of some pretty bad news health wise, I am very happy to report that my first vl load count since starting on the GS-9137 is: ....990!!!

Last vl load count on Oct 18th was 175,000....Nov 15th was 990!!!

This is the lowest my vl has ever been...ever. Not in 13 years of treatment has it ever gone below 1000. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanks for letting me share the good news!
Christine ;D ;D ;D
