It's your decision to make, but I hope, when the new drugs arrive, you
will reconsider. Or at least consider reconsidering;)

I know that if, after my 72 weeks of hell ends, (on Friday the 13th,
of all days, February 2009) I discover I have not cleared the virus,
retreating would be the last thing I'd want to do--at least not right
away...

But I'd hope that, when it becomes possible to retreat with the
addition of telaprevir and/or other stuff, I'd do it, at least if $$,
work and life permit...

Honestly, though, the notion of going through THIS again...YIKES.
YIKES CUBED.

To add to CJ's energy formula, try green tea and spirulina-- but not mixed
together :-)

That other thread with Chardonnay is way complex, eh?
