- I just read an article linking triclosan (found in antibacterial handsoaps and other products) and liver cancer. I'll be avoiding it from now on. No use taking any chances.
- My insurance company sent a letter stating I'm a candidate for a "personal nurse" with Conifer/InfoMed and when I looked them up they seem to be in business to save insurance companies money. I'm not sure they would be in my best interest. Any...
- I just had my 8 week blood done and I found out today I was undected. Yay! At the 4 week mark I was basically undected per the doctor. I really do hope the prices for Solvadi & Olysio go down so more insurances will cover them with no hassle. ...
- The courier service left my $56,000 worth of medication hanging on my gate. I am suppose to sign for it and by 3:00 still no call and I walked down to gate ( I live on 5 acres) to find my S&O hanging in the hot Texas sun. I was furious! When I...
- In the Solvadi advertisement I read, it stated cure* was achieved by taking Sovaldi with ribavirin and weekly injections of peginterferon alfa. So, does that mean Olysio takes the place of the riba and interferon and the same results are achieved? ...
- I took my first doses of Sovaldi & Olysio today. I'll update progress.
- I got the word yesterday that my insurance FINALLY approved the Sovaldi and Olysio combo! At first the Dr. was going to go the Sovaldi/Riba route but did a third and final appeal and my insurance approved after getting my medical records, etc. I...
- Have any members taken the solvadi/riba combo? If so, how long and what side effects? Also, did it work? Any info would be appreciated.....
- Well, I've been denied twice now. One left. I've had the same insurance for 22 years and I can't believe they have let me down so badly. Reason for denial, "Not medically necessary." WTH? I guess they rather pay for a transplant. They make NO...
- I just received my denial letter for the new meds. Next, appeal. My husband has worked for his company for 22 years and all that time, we paid our insurance dues and when you really need it, DENIED. I'm praying the appeal will work, but just in...
- I met with my new doctor that is a liver specialist today. They are sending in the request for the new meds this week. I need a blood test and a MRI of the liver. I also will take a class regarding the new meds. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
- For those who may find comfort, the Patron Saint of Chronic Illness is St. Juliana Falconieri and the Blessed Marie of the Incanation Guyart is for Hepatitis.
- I was diagnosed yesterday with cirrhosis. I was diagnosed last month with Hep C. I'm thinking I've had the Hep C for 30 years. I did a routine physical with blood work with my family physician and that's how all this came about. I didn't have...
- Well, I did the endoscopy and the doctor said I had cirrhosis. He said it seems early (whatever that means). I must have gotten Hep C when I was 16 and got a tattoo because I must have had Hep C for 30 years. I drank also but mainly on weekends,...
- I've been online researching medications, etc and found this website,www.hepmag.com It listed all medications used to treat hep c (so I could cross reference my drug list from my insurance) and has a lot of helpful tips, recipes, the latest...
