- Gilead just approved me, and the meds will arrive on Tues.!!!!!!!!But I have no idea how to take it.Morning? Night? Empty stomach? With food?Should I stop taking milk thistle and my other liver herb?Does each dose have to be exactly 24 hours apart?...
- OK, I get that Harvoni is expensive. But insurance co's pay for lots of expensive meds, for cancer, heart disease, mental illness, etc. How can they justify denying this? Is it something to do with the stigma of Hep C and the fact that a lot of us...
- That was my third denial,a nd I'm not allowed to appeal again. I hate my insurance co. Yes, I'm stage 1 (Supposedly. An old fibrosure showed stage2-4) but I'm tired, have eye problems, etc. Next Nov. I'll have another chance to switch insurance...
- I hate my insurance co. They would have paid for inteferon all those years drs. were insisting I get treated immediately. Suddenly there's no urgency -- I'm quite healthy. Funny about that.
- I posted this earlier, but it disappeared. I was denied for Harvoni by my Obamacare Fidelis plan. I am really bumming.
- I am so bummed. After waiting for what I thought was a sure thing, my insurance co. denied Harvoni. I have an Obamacare Fidelis plan. The irony is I just renewed two days ago. I figured I wanted to stay with them since I'd be in the middle of TX....
- Saw my dr. yesterday who said a bunch of new meds will be out by the end of the year. I had been waiting for Ledospavir (I knkow I spelled it wrong) but he said there are several options, one for only 8 weeks. Does anyone have a list and does anyone...
- I'm out of commission with a sprained ankle and the pain is nauseating. I thought Tylenol's dangerous to the liver, so 6 years ago when I was injured, I took Advil. But then I think I read here that Advil's worse. What can I take? I'm also doing...
- For years, the conversation about Hep C was To treat or not? Was the brutal TX worth it for such a low success rate? And for the people doing it, support and advice. Now there's a low-side TX that works, and the whole issue seems to be money and...
- I am almost finished with the probiotics I got from Mak and am wondering if there's a brand people recommend (powder or veggie caps only) Thanks.
- This sucks. I am due for my next fibroscan, but when I chose my Obamacare plan, the dr. I was seeing (the only fibroscan machine in my area) hadn't decided which ones he was going to take. So I chose, and he's not on it. It's between 2 and 5 hundred...
- The girls want to bake. Thanks
- I'm wondering if people who cleared the virus feel better after (not better than during TX -- I figure that's a no brainer!) I'm wondering because so many of us have symptoms like fatigue that could be from HCV, or just from life and aging. Did you...
- I've been keeping a pot of quinoa in the fridge to put in salads, and lately I've been mixing it half and half with oatmeal. Yum. My winter recipe is cooked oatmeal w/ added flaxseed, coconut, avacado, and berries or pomegranate (whatever I can find...
- I've been trying to minimize my disappointment about being offered the all oral TX, only to have it taken away by my insurance ending and the dr. not taking any of the new plans. I guess I didn't want to admit to myself how that sucks, and I didn't...
