Greetings all! I've been reading your board for info on the new treatments, and have found it very helpful. By way of introduction, I have genotype 1A contracted through a 1981 transfusion. The hospital wrote to tell me my donor had passed in 1986 of "complications arising from non A non B virus...

It's 2:54am and I once again cannot fall asleep. I know that the lack of sleep is leading to my increasing irritability. I just came back from Plymouth MA, on the ocean near Cape Cod and I should be as relaxed as a bump on a log, but I am not. I broke down the other day and took some Benadryl because I was so desp...

Hey everyone... I had my 12 week EOT labs done last Thursday and got a VERY chipper phone call from my PA this morning.... UNDETECTED ... SVR12!! I don't have the specific numbers for the other labs but he said LFT's were excellent and my WBC was back to 10.2 which is within normal. For some reason he stil...
I guess this question is not worth creating a topic but I am breaking my head on this one. I recently bought very good quality hairclippers, I guess I should get rid of them as soon as I start treatment? Also I cut my baby's hair once with it which freaked me out when I found out clippers can also transmit the...
I'm on sov/oly/riba and have developed a little rash on my right shin. It's not really bothering me that bad but thought I should check it out. I read about how some rashes can turn into something serious so thought I should check into it a little more. Anyone else have this? (see attached image)
Hi All, I just found out I have Hep C and not the gall bladder issue they thought it was.. I found out when I had to go to ER for Gall Bladder.. This was kind of the beginning of a whirlwind for me ( and I am sure others). I am not sure which type or damage etc etc. I do NOT like my Drs. They seem totally disintere...

Hey all Ran across a small article from the Hepatitis Central web site on Pomegranates, which caused me to dig deeper to find the authors of this study from India and the paper that was published in the Nature.com web site. Here is a small excerpt from the article and to link below to the full article A vas...
Hi all,Ribavirin will still be around for a while, and it's an interesting drug.It has a multi-pronged action on the HCV, and this is still poorly understood. The correct dosage has been debated for years, but most agree weight-based Riba is the way to go. That means an average male will have 1,200 mg/...
4 week post EOT labs show undetectable!! Does anyone know what my chances of relapse are? I'm positive about the outcome, but won't be satisfied until the 12 week test.
Hi all, I'm new here and I'm Josh from North Carolina. I have strain 2 of Hepatitis C and my GI doc prescribed Sofosbuvir and Ribivarin. A company called Avella Speciality Pharmacy in Arizona filled my medicine and it was totally free through a nonprofit organization (which I'd have to find the name of...
