Hiya I'd like to help Greg maintain good nutrition if possible - to that end ...Anything with fats/oils or any spice (fresh herbs are ok) seem to have a disastrous effect on his digestion - both things are easy to cut out but I wondered if anyone has some comments on what kinds of foods are best tolerated...

Just had my 6 month post tx appointment at the hospital on Thursday, and have been experiencing a resurgence of riba- rage since then, directed at my doctors.

Why...
It's been a while since I have visited the forum. If you remember I was a little down & getting very impatient with all the waiting I had to through to even start the TX program.. Well guess what?! I finally have! WOOHOO! I know it seems kinda odd to be excited about going through all of this for the next...
Hi all, I was going to be starting tx last week. The insurance company has denied my pharmacy claim for Pegesys, even with all of the medical information they requested and my doctor sent them. I do plan on a appeal. Is this a common thing to happen? Much thanks, Nikki
Hello, I'm going to see doc about starting tx. Is there a big difference (results wise) between these two procedures? Prob. infected 89-90 geno 1 vl=2.7 mil pmrad5
How often do you generally go in for blood work will on tx?

So my doc wanted me to go have a colonoscopy after treatment I went and had it done and now they think that I have chrons :/ I now have to go for more testing
I heard b4 starting that when one's on tx they might experience 'depression' or 'haziness' and similar terms. Hearing this, I made the assumption that it would be because of the sx (headaches, bone aches, nausea) that one might feel down and out. since i have a relatively good hold on my moods and how i r...
