- Hi everyone, I've been HCV-free for almost 2 years now so I don't come around often. But my friends here helped me get through one of the toughest times of my life. I just read that enormous thread about God Mockers & Liberals. I'll come clean with...
- Where's the Capn been?
- OK so who cooks up these goofy names for the new HCV drugs. I just saw Marty's post and it looks like the weirdly named "teleprevir" will get the equally weird handle: Incevik. You kidding me? My vote is for:"Dragon Ball-buster Plus+"or..."See Ya...
- It's amazing to finally see Boceprevir get FDA approval. I was one of the guinea pigs in those trials and it's a great feeling to see something positive come out of that. Boceprevir was no fun and I'm pretty sure everyone in our community knows...
- Every year a lot of new folks show up on DS and others have the great blessing of reaching SVR. SVR doesn't mean you'll live for ever and it doesn't mean you'll never get sick again... it just means that you're extremely fortunate and you shouldn't...
- I'm going to see the doc tomorrow, because I'm still feeling some annoying symptoms that seem to point to thyroid. My TSH levels have been high throughout tx and didn't come down much when I finished.So I'm brushing up on thyroid stuff so I can...
- Here's something I don't get: So we take all these drugs to strengthen our immune systems so we can kick virus butt. Then the docs tell us that one of the side effects is that it weakens our immune systems. So if the purpose is to STRENGTHEN our...
- Check out the article below on Vertex Pharma and their HCV strategy (take it with a grain of salt, because it's a BUSINESS article). But they do confirm that they are on track for 2011 and that results continue to show 2-times better efficacy than...
- You can read the whole article at Hepatitis Central, but you can see below that bawling your head off and crying like a spoiled 2 year old is big-time good for you. So grab the kleenex, boys and girls. Cry yourselves healthy!"Whoever proclaims that...
- Unreal. My heart rate should be back to normal by Tuesday. USA played awesome. Canadians never gloat. Put the razor away, Len.
- OK, my good friends south of the 49th parallel, listen to the following song and it will prepare you for the cultural interchange between our great countries that is planned for later this afternoon. Play hard. Enjoy the moment. And...
- We've had a few "bad news" articles posted in the last few weeks, so here's some better news! I'm pretty sure the protease inhibitors are the start of something important in our fight. Maybe it's the cavalry coming, eh? (Hurry guys...)Hepatitis...
- We talk a lot about different sides... for me the rashes are a big problem. Last time it almost knocked me out of the program. Now at week 29 it's back and getting worse. Probably the winter dryness doesn't help. I wonder what causes it? Some...
- Anybody out there taking BP meds on top of all the other crap we're swallowing and injecting? I was taking 2 kinds: Altace & Norvasc . Once I started treatment my BP went so low that I dropped the Altace. It's supposed to be hard on the kidneys...
- What do you guys do to clear the brain fog? I know we had a thread about the fish oil stuff awhile ago. I don't think it does much. I heard doing brain exercises like crosswords or sudoko might help, but it's kinda boring. I'm at week 21... I...
