Hey guys, i need help and advice on wheather or not i should start treatment with the interferon etc. I have heard nothing but horror stories about the side effects and the long term side effects. My fear is that i will be worse off with the treatment than if i dont do treatment at all. please help!
Hi all, I was wondering where to post, since i'm not on treatment. Would like to exchange the aches and pains of this virus as well as information about remedies and other alternative health care while in limbo land. Any ideas? Thanks, Iris

Hi everyoneI wanted to give some positive feedback for people that have Hep C and were blessed enough to respond to treatment.Im not sure if this is a new room but it doesnt matter if we are all here to receive love and support.My PCR and liver alts have been normal after doing combo treatment in 1999 an...
...a question that probably has no answer for most, but I've been asked several times: "when did you get Hep C?" Is there a way to know? Perhaps some folks can connect the dots, and point to a specific incident, such as a needle prick in the medical lab, but otherwise- who would know "...
My stomach hurts all the time. From a small ache, to instant puke in a blink of an eye. Some thing is always churning in there. I don't usually throw up. Just feel like I might. Does anyone else suffer through this UUggggh blaaaaaaaaa, Iris
Hi Everyone,Feeling have been running high on the forum recently, culminating in escalating verbal abuse, particularly regarding the use of marijuana.I would like to say this:Tx is a potent mix of drugs that can cause extreme mood swings, anxiety and lots of other psychological problems. For som...
Hi everyone and a warm welcome to all our new friends. My Pc is finally fixed. I think I got a virus from playing pool, online. I hope everyone is well and hanging in. I see Greg and Moocow are gone. I read some of the posts that were leading up to a blow-up. It is sad. I don't have too much to say about it, everyo...
Hello everyone! My partner is Hep C positive and has been for about 27 years now.

She says it is highly addictive and definetly not advisable to be for 48 weeks on it. she says maximum 2 weeks. She says she doesn't see the why curing hep C has to involve getting myself addicted to a very powerful substance, when there are alternatives. i have read about Zopiclone's addictive propert...
