Today in the locker room bathroom at the hospital one of my victrelis fell out of my pocket. It was on the floor when another nurse was like what is this to my manager and they both talked about looking it up in a drug book. I stayed quiet. Then they picked it up and laid it on the sink then decided to throw it in...

My husband's doctor said that his bilirubin was high this week, so they are going to run a fractionization test. Has anyone heard about this? Thanks, Carol
Howdy all :) I was diagnosed with Hep C in 2008, genotype 1A (lucky me lol). Due to a lack of health insurance, I didn't rush into treatment. I had a few symptoms of the disease, but they were manageable....up until a year ago. After being fed up with the random spells of nausea/vomiting, and feeling exha...

My husband has bad heartburn, and so he started taking Prilosec OTC. It involves taking 1 pill for 14 days, and then he does not have to take it anymore. Does anyone know if this medication is bad for people on Hep C treatment or if it is okay? Thanks, Carol

I said to her i am ready to finance 1shot per week of Neupogen and go with neutrophiles lower than 0.5, but she said i have done enough. Time for my body to rest a bit (her words), so she will lower PegIntron from 120mcg to 6...
So after a long week full of phone calls to Dr office and the specialty pharmacy, I finally got my meds today! My plan was to start this Sunday, and all the hard work to get the prescriptions straightened out paid off. Life just got real, and all of a sudden feel like I've been punched in the stomach! Nerves...

Have any of you folks had this shot or any other steriod shot while on tripl...
