    • About Me

      Diagnosed with HCV in 2000, genotype 1A. Went through 48 weeks of pegylated interferon/ribavarin about four years ago. It worked while I was on it but relapsed after I stopped. Some improvement in my liver biopsy after treatment so just getting blood test every six months and hoping something new comes along.

      Treatments

      Milk Thistle Not Working
      Been taking it since 2000 and so far doesn't seem to make much difference. But can't hurt.
      Pegylated Interferon Working / Worked
      Worked while I was taking it but relapsed soon after treatment. My liver biopsy showed improvement after treatment.
      Ribavarin Working / Worked
      Again, worked while I was taking it but relapsed soon after treatment. Made my skin really dry and itchy and I was weak as a kitten.
