- As I posted on the old site I am in my 5th time treating this stuff. Three months in and three to go. Some days I feel like I got run over by a big truck, others just a compact car. Still it's easy as pie compared to the first couple. I urge...
- That's right try number 5, started in the bad old days of peginterfuron and ribavirin all the way to the last one with Haverony?sp. The last 2 times I was cured after treatment but the virus came back. So all you people wondering if it's worth it...
- I would like to strongly urge anyone putting off taking the new cure to go for it. I have taken all 4 cures over the years and the latest is basically side effect free. Nothing at all like the older ones that were hell sometimes. Unfortunately...
- Haven't been here in quite awhile. Always come back when I need a hand. Have failed Hep C treatment 4 times. Virus is still active. Liver still compensating but in last stage. Find myself always tired, can sleep 10 hours and get up and take a...
- Personnal observation. I thought I was tired, lethargic, etc. due to Hep C and liver slowly failing. But, after I got the call about the next treatment and probable cure. I am up as heck. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I...
- Am meeting with VA DR in June to discuss treatment options. Have already failed 2 and 3 drug treatment. So, with the new drugs out there does anybody know what combination the VA has decided to go with?Thanks
- I was given lactulose by my liver Dr for constipation and to keep me regular. It worked but had to stay near bathroom, if you know what I mean.A month ago I had triple bypass surgery and they told me lactulose was a little to harsh and gave me...
- Just had triple bypass done on Jul 16, able to come home last Sunday so figured I'm pretty blessed in that respect. 2 Questions, at least to start with.1. Had a stent put in about 9-10 years ago and while I did not become the health fanatic they...
- I notice Sofosbuvir mentioned treatment naive patients with geno 1. Did I miss news about anything for those of us who have failed a couple of times before?Thanks
- Saw both Drs yesterday. Both gave me hell for smoking, which is odd for the VA they usually don't say much. Even have a butt hut by the front door with heat and AC. So, I guess I'm quitting.Checked ammonia levels as that can cause confusion etc. ...
- I ask my Dr what to look for as far as liver going bad indicators. About all he tells me is look for jaundice. Yellowing eyes, that's all the ideas I get. I'm tired more, muscle ache in arms and shoulders more, not as regular bathroom wise as I...
- Does anyone know somebody or have done themselves gone out of US to get treatment. India, China, S America wherever? I live in the middle of nowhere North Dakota so getting on a drug trail is near impossible. But, if I could go somewhere and get...
- Someone posted they had not treated because they were afraid. Don't let your fear control your decision. The side effects only last for awhile and being cured lasts forever. Always keep the happy ending in sight. I've failed treatment twice and...
- I am beginning stage 4 with HepC. Tried cure twice no luck yet. Anyway, I find myself really tired all the time. Can get 8 hours sleep and get up and take a nap. Never feel really rested or energized. I drive truck and catch myself falling...
- Anybody ever tried acupuncture to help with liver or other Hep C conditions?
