Hi everyone, had my doc appointment today and it's good news so far. The qualitative PRC they did a couple of weeks ago (30 days after treatment) came back 'not detected.'

The last time (first time) I snorted cocaine was several years ago. After that, I didn't do it again, after last night. We were at a club and a friend of mine came up to me and asked if I wanted to do a line. I passed on that occasion. I was happy with the music, company and drinks. So I guess he went with a few oth...

I created this account to maybe inspire some of you to live healthier and understand that the benefits of physical exercise are well worth pushing yourself to stay active.

Hi Everyone. Is this where I should be posting as I am a nonresponder, I guess? I'm not on treatment anymore, as most of you know. I was responding to treatment but my Platelets, RBC's and WBC's got all too low so I was taken off tx last Dec. Two months later I went from undectable to detectable. So what I wan...

I was wondering if a ct scan would be a good idea. I go to a free clinic here in my hometown. They said that they could arrrnage for a no cost ct scan of my liver, if I wanted to have it performed.

Today was my first appointment at the University Medical Center. I am SO thankful. As I mentioned before (I know I haven't posted in a while) the doctor I had didn't want to do anything for me just because I was "too young". So I saw my new doctor today and had about 10 vials of blood taken so he co...
