- My great niece in law just posted on face book that she had gone to the we all jaundice and with stomach and back pains. She is already has CF and a body full of tartoos. She said they were running liver tests. I panicked silently to myself. ...
- As I have stated before, I was diagnosed back in February by my GP. My ALT liver enzymes had been slightly elevated thru 3 different visits and then they jumped slightly but nothing really high. It was on a whim that he tested me. I went back to...
- Well today was my liver biopsy day. First, I learned the answer to some questions posed on here. I started a thread a couple of weeks ago asking questions about what to expect with a biopsy. There were a couple that replied and their doctor did...
- I go in tomorrow just for a consult with the surgeon that is going to do my biopsy. While I know what is involved surgically, I was a vet tech an have assisted in canine and feline biopsies. My question is for afterwards. What sort of pain or...
- Today is my doctor appointment. I learn his thoughts on what next: Tx or wait and why. The past month has been tough with all the damn waiting and not knowing. Then the past few days my anxiety has been high because the not knowing is what I...
- Just thought this would be a fun thread. It could be a recipe that you find useful/healthy for all us Heppers, or maybe something you want to try cause it looks and sounds good. You can give a description and provide a link or you can type it out....
- This thought was triggered by the recent topic of Exercise. There is a point just after being diagnosed but before one begins treatment or even meets with the doctor to learn about treatment options when there is a certain amount of thoughts racing...
- Just turned on the cooking channel and saw a show starting called the food hospital and they are treating someone with a liver issue of some type.
- I am a big boy and wear big boy pants so I will always step up and admit when I am wrong. It was the first time ever, but I was wrong......LOLI have scoffed at vegetarians all my life. I will for ever and always enjoy a juicy steak fried quail...
- I just saw Ozz's post but I did not want to hijack that post with my question. He said his Hep C nurse told him to take tylenol. Everything I have read and my Doctor all said no tylenol. Advil only. I have seen one book that said that tylenol...
- My daily coffee was one thing I did not want to have to give up. I can't imagine a day without my coffee. However, since turning over a new leaf last week, I make myself consume water in between cups. Then today I came across this article and...
- Just curious about the personal experiences of others: I have contacted my insurance company and apparently interferon is not covered. Is this common? I have heard that often times the doctor has to call in and get approval before it is covered. ...
- I know already the importance of eating healthy regardless of HCV. myself; a yer ago I went on. Low sodium diet without meds to control BP and it has worked and I really never missed the salt. I've cut out 90% of my sugar mainly by switching to...
- Now I know they say there are no stupid questions, but leave it to me to be the first, LOL. Anyway, I was wondering this weekend and I could not find anything that said so I thought I would come here to the experts. Can a doctor tell how long we...
- Doctor office called to tell me that HCV is definitely active. Al I could think to ask is what genotype. She said 1A or 1 B. so what do the letters A and B signify?
