Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hello and welcome. I was in about your place a few years ago. I had type 1b, probably about 18 years. I used some Milk Thistle, before I started treatment and it brought my alt/ast counts down. I had no cirrhosis either, and I started the interferon combo (with ribavarin) treatment. I have been undetectable for the virus since then. I did 48 weeks of treatment and when tested at 6 mos. I was undetectable, but still completed the course. Good luck, with whatever you choose. -dz-ihop2jan <ihop2jan@...> wrote: i dont know if i am using this right, as i have never used a chat orsimilar before.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 helo dave,thankyou for replying to me. i will use some milkthistle too, then. i do not know what alt ast counts are. i am not science minded, and i think it all sound all so complicated.i do have some symptoms of the virus, mostly feeling sick and real fatigue. it is heartenning to hear that you had success with your treatment. will you stay undetected, or will it come back, i hope it doesnt. please excuse punctuation, shift keys not working on keyboard.all the best, jan.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Most often they will make you wait one year after covering befor they would cover treatment. But these days all health insurance is costly. Untill my health insurance kicks in on my new job, we are paying $250 a month hor me & $175 a month for a secondary insurance for my wife.

I too want to live.But what it took for me to decide that was this wonderful man to come into my life.He made me realize what i had to live for.I have 6 kids and 8 grandbabies and one on the way. I have lost 50 lbs and i was sick for a long time ,but i think i have got through the bad part. Just keep in touch with this group, they are awesome!!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I know I ran into the same problem with my gp. I switched gp's and the new one, while he wasn't all that familiar with hepc, he referred me to a specialist. It may depend on your insurance, but I think under most you have the right to be referred to a specialist. At the very least I would ask the gp for a referral. There are doctors specializing in hepatitis, which are called hepatologists, we didn't have any in Green Bay, but a gastro-enterologist, has the expertise, at least of the liver. I found mine very knowledgeable. On your bloodwork, I would ask the doctor for copies of your results and pay close attention to the AST/ALT counts. Also the bilirubin, that has to do with the yellow juandice. -dz-ihop2jan <ihop2jan@...> wrote: My GP does not have the time of day to look into drug companies andsponsership, here, i get sent for blood tests once or twice a year andsee the hospital specialist once a year. unless some one has liverfunction problems, there is no treatment. they say my past tests havebeen ok, so no need for treatment.except, i had a 'yellow day', my younger son said i looked like bartsimpson.! freaked me a bit, it was just one day. i saw the doctor twodays ago, she was not concerned. can i find sponsorship myself?

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 We did Valtrex. Yes, there are many side effects. Buying it is not possible, must be prescribed here in the U.S. because it is a serious pharmaceutical drug. We had no success with Valtrex. helo >i still new here, i am indonesian, > my child is autis begins 1 year old, > now 3 year old, there is no progress. > > is there side effects from valtrex for age 3 year? > enzyme what yg used? > where do i buy?what brand? > > thank, sory my grammar is ugly. > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
