Hep C Discussion Forum

 ALL members please do this. It will be helpful for everyone if you create a signature with HCV related information specific to you so that it can be quickly viewed by other members at the bottom of each of your posts. This promotes more accurate and prompt reply's to your post by other members. In many cases this eliminates the need for that member to look through your older post to find your information which can be very time consuming and unnecessary. If you need help with this then Tig, myself, or another moderator will be glad to help you.

To create a signature:
(#1) - Click on 'User Details' circled in 'Red' (shown in the image below)
(#2) - Click 'Signature' circled in 'Green'
(#3) - Enter your information in the 'Subject Body' area circled in 'Blue'
(#4) - Click on 'Save Changes' circled in 'Black'

You can view other members signatures to get an idea of what information to include such as:

age (optional)
gender (optional)
genotype
fibrosis stage (if known)
HCV diagnosis date
treatment start / end date
HCV medication(s)
HCV lab results (viral load, AST, ALT, etc)
any prior HCV treatment including date(s) and medications, etc.
SVR date (if applicable).
