Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

In May, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to Achillion Pharmaceuticals second-generation NS5A inhibitor, ACH-3102, as part of an interferon (IFN)-free regimen to combat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. ACH-3102 was discovered by Achillion Pharmaceuticals and currently is being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial.

"The FOG" - is a scary thing. Been using argon oil on my hair for a few weeks to deep condition & leave it on for hours in the hot sun, hair up in a bun. Felt annoyed with the thick consistency, so heated it & added water, applied to hair. (you gotta picture this - I have very long thick hair).
Today, closely inspected the label on the dark brown bottle. In little letters under argon oil - "shampoo" - not conditioner LOL

Ptriss - those instructions on labels are intentionally getting smaller and smaller. It's all part of a conspiracy to kill off us "old folks" sooner!!!

My eye doc tells me i don't need a change of glasses prescription and i don't have cataracts - but i can't see shit, close up or distance, like street signs when i'm driving! I tell you it's a conspiracy! kill us off and save the medicare and SS money!!! They even sometimes make us take the wrong medications cause we can't see the damn labels or don't remember which one we already took.

Kramer - you've scored up enough good points to get away with this and more!
