      Hi paul1190, I,m sorry to hear you got the whole whammy!!!! It sounds like we are experiencing the same symptoms. The weigh loss thing is a bit distressing isn,t it? are you fighting the possibility of the big C with antioxidents like tomatoes, and a salt free diet?I don,t know about you but my Liver LLLoves tomatoes!!!
      Are you taking medication for hvc or cirrhosis?

      well, i found out i was HIV,and had hep c, and cirrhois all within a months time. so, yeah i got the wind knocked out of me. i found out in 2002. since then ive responded great to the HIV meds. my viral load is undetectable. but because of hep c, and cirrhois, ive been hospitalized three times since feb 08. i took ribavarin and pegysus for almost five months, but it was so hard on my system, that the dr. took me off. then i got esphogal verices. that hospital stay, i was there eight days
