- IS NO LONGER SWIMMING WITH THE SHARKS...BECAUSE....SHE'S UNDETECTED!!!:-)Thank you all for being such a great support system through this journey that has had some rough moments for me. And this was the EASY tx!! LOL.Throwing good wishes and...
- So today, I go in for my BIG BLOOD DRAW -- the one I have been anxiously waiting for for 3 months, and have had scheduled for that same amount of time. The lab tells me they have no idea what Heptamax for Quest even is. They pulled in the other...
- Finally, today I go in to get my VL labs drawn!! It's been a l-o-n-g 3 months of suffering nasty side effects while not having a CLUE if this stuff is even working. Now I am done, and going in for the verdict!! Wish me luck, send prayers, positive...
- I have had it all along, but now I have it BAD. I'm taking allergy meds, using good lotions and natural oatmeal soaps, being very careful, little to no makeup, but can't get it to go away. It's starting to itch like bugs crawling, peeling off in...
- I think some of you will understand how this happened...Last night I was making enchiladas. I had opened the refried beans, tomatoes, etc... and had a can of enchilada sauce off to the side for later. As I was rolling up my burritos and placing...

- Docs says everything looks ok re: CBC... but several things are flagged on my 5/9/14 lab results:MVHC 30.9 L (Within range on April 11)MCV - 101.7 fL H (101.7 H on April 11)RDW 16.6% H (15.4 H on April 11)Red Blood Cell count 3.71 L (3.78 L on...
- I had hep doc clarify for me to what extent liver damage I actually have, as I was told 2 different things - one thing by the surgeon who took out gall bladder and who "saw" liver and performed biopsy, and one thing by hep doc who did scans later...
- I only ask this as I have NO IDEA ( thanks a lot doc!!) where I stand in this treatment journey, as to whether it's working or not, and it's starting to make me a little bit crazy. What if? What if I am part of that unlucky 5% of gen2b who won't...
- Did I read here that liver docs ask you to hold off on major dental work until TX is done? I just discovered a bad molar (no pain yet, but I can "feel" the jagged edge - possibly a filling has fallen out or decay between teeth - weird as I haven't...

- My PCP and gastro doc have both approved Valtrex for the shingles virus that apparently is being stubborn and won't subside. I keep having lesions after lesions and as soon as one patch starts to heal, another one comes. It's ridiculous. He's...
- Have had ears pierced and never been tested for HCV, but could have it? The thought crossed my mind today that people are getting infants pierced as a common practice. What used to be a cultural thing 30 years ago, is now a rite of passage for most...
- Anyone else get this side effect? I know it's a small thing in the bigger picture, but I feel almost like I can't get enough breath -- asthma-like and dusty, like a smoker's cough sorta. It was just a little bit annoying from the start, but now is...
- But I have a serious problem and not sure if it's side effect related or not. If anyone has experienced anything like while on TX, please tell me. Ok, I have had joint pain and weakness from the first few days. I figured that was part of sides and...
