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.
The vibe around the my Liver Clinic is that no surprises are being expected on this combo. I guess shit can happen but it's not expected.
Just saw a freezing tx for knee pain on tv recently...also there are various injections. Me, I've had knee replacement. Hope you get some relief and hope you reach SVR-12. Pleas let us know.

Just got a call for an appt. in Sep. to do a Fibroscan - whoo hooo! My doc finally talked the hospital in Phoenix into buying the Fibroscan. Things in that regard have gotten much more accurate than they used to be. No more needles in the liver for this kitty. No more liver ultrasounds either (not that I minded them) - this Fibroscan does it all! :)
At least you are UNDETECTED......That in itself is a cause for a celebration (to me anyway, who still waits for that wonderful news).
Don't let it take over your life, IT WILL.....
God Bless....
Nobody wants to go through treatment again.
We'll wait with you. Hope that helps.
Look at me, I had lost hope, doc going to take off tx and "boom" UNDETECTED at week 18.
This virus makes us all basketcases, so it is best to do things to put your mind some place else.....I did that a while back and I am not sure if that is what helped....."mind over body, etc"
