Rocco, I'm starting my first week on Hep C treatments: incivik, ribivirin, pegasys. Aside from getting used to the daily routine, not unduly bad. Although I do have skin rash already. Have you begun treatment?
I have been on the treatment 4 different times. just finished year treatment as maintenace doe half of normal. went off medicine month ago still have very low white count and platletts. have geno type 1 and respond on treatment just so many side effects
i have hep c and just found out april 1,this year i now have liver cirrhosis and am suppose to start hep c treatment .just wondering if there is anyone in a similar situation of being treated for hep c after finding out they have cirrhosis?
i also had 3 biopsies and last was 3+ stage started treatment at maintenance level after 3 other times full dose. Depression is big with me as is this time white count and all times platletts. Been geeting 3 shots neuprin week since april to raise white count. Stopped medicine first sept and white count still 2.8 platletts 83. its tough treatment for some
a family friend had it and took all the treatments, he had been in bad shape. he was in rough shape during the treatments, they thought he might have even developed lou gherig's disease but he did not, it's just the drugs really weaken your system in order to give you long term health. he's healthier than most now and does everything, he has no limits and he does push it, karate, biking, travelling, etc..... good luck

hello i also have genotype 1 i also have hiv an cirrious i only had minor side effects from the treatment that i know about it was a long 48 weeks but in my situation i had to go for it an pray it works wwish you the best
I have the same genotype, and I was told to do interferon for the 48 weeks. I don't want to. I am vegan and want to do intravenious vitamin C treatments, before I do the later.
i have hep c and just found out april 1,this year i now have liver cirrhosis and am suppose to start hep c treatment .just wondering if there is anyone in a similar situation of being treated for hep c after finding out they have cirrhosis?
OMG I need the NEW drugs name so I can research it, and force my doctor to use it in me. I am not told about details from the variety of docotors I hve been to. I have mild fibrosis, thats what the Biopsy says. I have the hard one to cure, also. It hurts soooo Bad.
I found out I have hep c Oct of 09, they wanted me to start treatment in the spring of 2010. I put it off because my son was getting married in September and I didn't want to be sick. I plan on starting in the spring, the doctor said no winter treatment due to depression. I also have cirrhosis with what they say is quite a bit of damage. Your replies have been very helpful.
