		<description>Hi Ron,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nice to see you back.  Wonderful that you both had such a lovely vacation.  I'm waiting until after treatment end to take some (August), but it seems a long way off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your blogs are never boring.  The familiarity and ease you describe feeling at your current place in treatment are inspiring and provide me with comfort and security.  Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Welcome back Ron. After my own absence, I was a little concerned when you hadn't posted since before my holiday - as for your blog getting uninteresting - I find the fact that your side effects are getting less 'interesting' interesting in itself! Using blogs to find commonality amongst so many diverse experiences is very reassuring - I hope after 30 weeks of treatment, this is another shared experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ron writes&lt;/strong&gt;: Hi Nick&lt;br /&gt;
Good to see you back blogging now after a long (and sounds like eventful) interlude.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Well I for one am glad you're back Ron. I look forward to your regular imput. I finally got a treatment start date after seeing my nurse this week - 17th June. The meeting went well and I feel well prepared and grounded (thank you) despite being highly symptomatic at the moment. Please tell me what is Riba-hum??&lt;br /&gt;
Best wishes, Jayne&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ron writes:&lt;/strong&gt; Hi Jayne&lt;br /&gt;
A start date at last ..... good news.  Many have said that waiting for the start is one of the hardest parts, so hang in there.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Riba hum is mentioned by several bloggers.  To me, it is the 'alertness' in my mind caused by the ribavirin, despite any physical fatigue.  Someone recently said they felt like they had forgotten how to fall asleep (as the riba-hum keeps going despite their tiredness). Not too difficult to deal with and not too great a problem.&lt;br /&gt;
