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.

Was called yesterday to be invited to a research study.
I smoke herb regularly. I thought for recreational purposes only.
But after abstaining for only 24 hours my neuropathy pain has significantly gotten worse.

Does anyone know if the drug screen includes marijuana ? I'm sure it does.

Any advise to pass test before Tuesday ?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes it does.
Be truthful about your use.
Clinical trial testing is very in depth. don't bother trying to hide it, just tell the truth before they spend $$$ on evaluating you. Other people are in line trying to get into the trial.
Who knows, maybe they'll let you slide in? But once trial starts, you cannot use.

Sofosbuvir /Simeprivir aka Sovaldi & Olysio are also available to patients via prescription from doctors depending on your genotype, past tx history and insurance. MANY of us here are receiving or have completed tx with these drugs.

I told the VA, I live in pain, your answer is for me to take pain pills , stay incompacitated laying in a bed, I choose to smoke marijuana until the pain becomes manageable, think they only detect during urine tests, tell them you cant pee, ;lol,

Delaware - i try not to tell anyone what to do. we each have to decide for ourselves what is best for us.

BUT,I can tell you that the new HCV txs are short (12 weeks) and have virtually NO side effects for most people...some people get headaches but not unmanageable side effects on Sovaldi & Olysio! And then you are CURED!! *IF* you have a GT that can be treated with just S&O.
