Hi everyone! It's been a while since Renee (LadyAlaise) or I have posted. Renee is 2.5 years post treatment and doing well. Looks like she slayed the dragon for good ;) The past few years have been good in that she's feeling better, but I had a nasty foot infection develop that would not clear. I wound up h...
Hi everyone! I'll post a brief update about Renee and I in the partners section, but I have a question regarding a client I work with. He has Hep C, and we're trying to get him in a transitional program. He did a brief stay to try it out and staff reported that he was very intoxicated one night. He maintain...
Well, got the call from the pharmacy today. And spoke to my hepologists nurse. My viral load is just over 6,000,000. My platelets are 82 and ALTs are 43. And he put the claim through on both my insurance plans while,I was on the phone with him, and it seems I'm covered 100%. I asked him the cost to just know f...
I finished 24 weeks of Harvoni about 3 weeks ago. Muscle and joint pain is much improved and the fatigue is beginning to lift. About a week ago I noticed some dizzyness after working out and also at other times during the day. Haven't had this symptom prior to or during treatment. Has anyone experienced...
hi, I belonged to this forum a few years ago when I was on triple therapy. It didn't go to well, had to stop at 8 weeks because of rash. I'm still feeling the effects of that treatment, I hope Harvoni has better results. Anyway I will read what others are going through and know what to expect. Thanks in a...
Hi, like the idea of the train to health. Understand concept of the Dragon, it slept for years. Would wake up now and then, breath of fire, and fall back to sleep. Serious decline in the last couple of years, maybe 3-4 years. Went from years of stage 2 to toward the end of stage 3. It is refreshing to hear o...
Hi everyone JA few years ago I wrote a book about my personal journey with hepatitis C. The book was quite successful in my country (Bulgaria), as I was the first person with hep C coming out of the closet. Now the book is translated in English and available for Kindle on Amazon:http://www.amazon.c...
(Sung to the tune of "Unforgettable") Undetectable, that's what I am....... I am positively thrilled. However, my hemoglobin appears to be dropping so I'm being retested next week and may have to reduce the Ribaviron. I saw some posts about that in another section and the posters tal...
My Dr and I have a date Monday morning, and I am trying to use this opportunity to clear a lot of things for ME as I get to eot here shortly. 1) Why does my Healthcare system tell me they are not allowed by law to say undetected on my undetected viral test? Probably more BS from them, but they still said it...
I stopped drinking alcohol 25 years ago, that's probably the reason I am still here to write this today. Now at the age of 60, I would like to stick around another 20 or 30 years or more. Are there any ideas out there on how to reverse and regenerate my liver ? thanks ,
Won't have my 1st VL test until week 4...but after 2 weeks on Harvoni of the 24 weeks treatment all other indicators came in with the normal ranges except blood platelets @ 131 (normal being 150-400)...previously before treatment they were 95. AST 29/ALT 34 from 70 & 77. Direct Bilirubinm 6 down f...

I got sovladi generic in India but cn't find ledpasvir. I thought to combine with Ribarvin,as friend is starting that,but Dr. here says bad combo. Help any feedback?
good p.m. my harvonian family, I have such awful heartburn like I have never felt before. It feel like the dragon jumped inside my digestive system and throat. I wanted to take Prilosec but didn't take it until I know if it's okay to take. I feel really under the weather. I have no every even to get ou...
New member here. I'm 35 years old, genotype 1b. Fibrosis F1-2. Treatment naive. No symptoms as far as I know, I feel healthy. Most likely had Hep C since I got a blood transfusion as a newborn. I was diagnosed in 2009 after some routine blood work. Joining the forums as I'm about to start Viekira Pak. (Was...
I was just invited to join a research study thru the Mayo clinic on the study of how our genes determine the susceptibility of getting billary, primary and portal duct liver cancer. At this point I know very little about it but should have more info after next Fridays blood draw which is all it requires,...
Thank you all for the support! I don't feel too alone knowing that others have transmitted Hep C from needles. I've been clean for 6 weeks now! It's quite a change not waking up on the floor or walking into walls. I told my entire family to hide all of their prescriptions.I got lab results back. I'm trying...

I just received my Harvoni prescription yesterday! I am scared to start this Tx, but I am also excited and hopeful. I plan on start the Tx on Monday April 20,...

He has no renal impairment and his kidney ultrasound and detailed urine report is perfectly normal. He is cirr...
