Exciting stuff!!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! This is the kind of information absolutely the most important to me now ... I don't feel I can wait too much longer to treat or I'll regret it. I also know, without a doubt, that Interferon will fry my brain.

Lots of good oral stuff coming around. Abbott is going to phase three. I remember Nealy here who did the Abbott 450 in phase I, now it is going to phase III.

Interferon will soon be old medicine! Well it still has a few years, but we are def. getting closer!

I hope it's obsolete before a few years from now. Please, dear Lord.... Honestly, there is no way I can wait a few years to treat. Of course, if I find out that I am too far into cirrhosis (and still compensating), then I guess I have no choice, really. Well, we always have choices...

Thank you!! now this is something worth reading about phase III, amazing! thanks kramer for being cutting edge.

catmagic ...catmagic ..chill my dear friend! You are revving your engine in neutral and wont have an gas left when you need it! lol
Yes we all want to get on with treatment and get healthy again. Even if you were to be assessed as cirrhotic today you have time on your side.
Please read this link about cirrhosis and try to relax a bit about it otherwise you could set of a whole other bag full of stress realted illnesses!

We will get there! :)

Oh yes and stress itself will tear up on your liver and just about every other organ in your body!
These drugs will be to market in time for us!

Oh, friend ImK, thank you. I wasn't quite as revved up as I guess I came across, BUT, yes, I do need to chill out. I am the kind of person who was born sizzlin' - lol. Nuttin' I can do about any of it at this moment anyway. Please keep sharing this kind of info. as you find it. Lemme read that link now....

p.s., ImK, just picked up my new anti-anxiety med today - Ativan. No more Clonazepam - very liver not so friendly. No more Xanax either unless I pop out with a panic attack and need to come down fast - been known to happen. For most of my adult life I treated my anxiety disorder with BEER, and lots of it. For 20 years after the onset of hosting this virus without asking it in, I doused my liver with booze. So God was good to me ~ I quit drinking in November 1988. Saved my life.

I'm a brooding Celt. Runs in the family. Brooding, worrying - all lead to anxiety. Stress. Self-induced. Gonna get better tho' - I am. I have to now. Yep.

Catmagic I took Ativan, for a full year when my partner died. It worked very well for me and I had no problem stopping. Hope it works as well for you!
BTW all tranqs/sedatives if taken long term have the potential to promote mental decline but for a short period I fell they are worth the risk to help prevent other stress induced illness.
