... I got a call. I thanked them very much and went on about my business. I got to thinking it had been some time since I bought her something new to wear. (That of course does not count the endless $$$ spent on cruise attire.) That would have to be another post entirely. No, in this case something special th...

Hi friends, I am new here and found a link to this forum through another place. I was diagnosed two days ago and the initial shock was devastating. A physician, at the lab where I had gone for labwork, had called me in to discuss the results. He literally walked in and dumped the news on me. I sad there in sho...
Hello everyone, I was recently diagnosed with Hep C 1 B. The only reason that the doctor found it, was that I had so much pain in my right upper quadrant.

My (attached) post made it onto this Facebook site with over 3,000,000 members! Doing my part to spread Hep C awareness. But PLEASE, let's not talk about politics or election results in this thread. Emotions are too high right now.
Hello all, its been a while since I have posted here. Did Tx in 2012 with Victrelis, interferon and riba. Yikes! We called that the "Mind Scrub". To say I was nervous of starting a new treatment is an understatement and wasn't sure I was even going through with it until I popped the first pill in my mouth. I...

I had a blood donation yesterday, the nurse who drew my blood wore gloves but while in the process of collecting blood she went off doing other things like packaging test tube boxes and input stuff on her computer. At the end of the blood draw she folded my gauze pad before withdrew the needle, my worry is...
I saw this and couldn't find reference to it here on the forum. Thought I'd post it and if it's a repeat, my apologies. This is a very effective protocol. GILD- POLARIS TRIALS

Well 18 months since I finished 12 months of triple therapy hell. Had blood done a couple of days back. First time in a year. ALT is 27. Happy. Mental function is pretty poor. Thinking is difficult and I have little patience. But I'm not complaining. Back into cycling pretty full on at high intensit...
A bit dated (2012), but this article provides a wealth of current information as well. This is directed at the USA disability programs, SSI and SSA. It's a lengthy guide but a worthwhile read for those considering a disability application. Tig http://hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf...

Although it's a bit embarrasing to post these horrific photos of the ulcers on my face, this condition is not an uncommon complication of HCV. Yet there's not much info on the Internet about it. It's more common to see ulcers like this on the legs, but they can occur anywhere. If you see any "moon craters...
Hi guys I just got back from the fibro scan. The girl said she couldn't read the results but I saw a number coming up on the screen, near the bottom of the machine that changed slightly from 1.25 to about 1.67 ...I presume that was the score, and if so looks to be near similar to the blood test. Which was betwe...
I hope I spelled it right! The first of the good news is that I had my fibroscan, and I am at stage 0. Yay! Next good news: I was approved for treatment and got my first month of Sovaldi/Daklinza. Because of my CIGNA coverage and the copay coupon my pharmacy arranged, here is the grand total of my out-of-poc...
