cant help with analysis rick. sorry. sorry too to hear that you're a non-responder. i guess the best person to ask is your doc. hang in there my friend cos all sorts of things will be happening in the next few years to help with hepc. in the meantime you gotta stay strong, be positive and try to keep smiling cos smiling helps to brighten up the day, lighten the burden. whereas stress doesnt help at all.
