    • Close Hepatitis C

      My last shot was Aug. 16th- I had to stop after 9 shots. I had trouble with my white counts and had a bad reaction to neupogen so I could not take that either. I go for lab in Jan. so I hope I am still undetectable. I was after 4 shots but there is no studies that 9 shots and 9 weeks of ribavarin will be enough. It worried me alot!!

      Treatments

      Interferon, pegylated Working / Worked
      I was only able to do 9 shots!
      Ribavarin Working / Worked
      Took for 9 weeks- I was undetectable at 4 weeks!
    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 1983. I fought it for 10 years and finally went to Rochester and had surgery,( colostomy) and have had no problems with it. Now I am dealing with hep C from a blood transfusion when my daughter was born. That is how I found this site.I am 45, married for 23 years- 2 daughters-20 and 18. I started treatment for hep C in June. After 9 shots I had to stop because of my low white count. Now it is just a wait!!!

      Treatments

      Azulfidine Working / Worked
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Worked when needed. I became very shaky from it.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      The best thing I did! I did not have to live in the bathroom anymore!
