Good news and not so good news.. my sister has beat this monster all by herself!! No tx, she has been asked to go to university for testing. But she is afraid they are going to to some sort of freaky testing. Guinnie(sp?)pig testing or something. I’m SO happy for her. The really bad thing about it is I feel very alone now. I disgust myself sometimes. Ugh..
The not so good, I really can’t afford 4wk test at this time. Didn’t realize dr. had ordered pcr in Jan. Paid cash for LFT, CBC and Tsh. Got a bill from lab, called and told them I paid the day I got the tests. I still don’t understand why they didn’t charge me then. It’s 50% off if you pay cash within 7 days. Didn’t get bill till 45 days later. Called dr got results. So I will have LFT at 8 wks.(I really want to know now) I might make them wait for payment and jus do it. Lol
So great for my sissy..she got all the good genes..
She called me 5yrs ago
after she was diagnosed. I didn’t know you could clear after 30+ years. Probly all that rope I smoked.
Thank you Mnem. I have been drinking lots of bottled spring water, purified tastes salty to me. My coffee consumption is due to working nights. Needless to say insomnia isn’t a problem as I sleep when I can anyway..
Many warm wishes to you on your journey to health.
p.s. Gaj, where can i get one of those cupsThank you for your quick response.
I will wait til after tx. Don’t want to mess this up. Never even thought about it doing that. Knowledge is power, and thank you for sharing and caring about all of us. I bow to you dear Sir.
Since it helps the lymph system, would that mean it would help flush out dead virus after tx?Hi ratus
Greg helped me also. 
I don’t understand what that means either. But there are GREAT people here and I’m sure they can explain.
Welcome. So glad you chose life.
Thank you. I stole the traincar pic.
And gaj i used your links. Didn’t know to reply to all in one post. Still learning here. This place gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, oops that’s my cat.Ooo, I didn’t know I could use patch or gum. I thought it was the nicotine itself.
On a quite similar note, I have kept my coffee to 2-3 cups a day but have started drinking black tea. Is it the caffeine in the coffee or something else? If its the caffeine (which I tried to check but dosen’t seem to be in drug interactions), then the tea is just as bad as the coffee?
I really do want to do this right.Hmmm… thyroid med, levothyroxine comes back yellow on the dac. Should i quit taking it? Didn’t quite understand what I was reading. The color code helps.
thanks all. 25mcg take in the morning with blood pressure med, take sof/dac in the eveningThank you. I have been trying to read everything here. So much great info, so many inspiring stories. Of course I cry, I laugh and I go oops. Oops been taking vit C. Thats done.
Begging my sister to get tx. She says after me.. so she may be here in a few months. Until then I told her to come and read the forum. And she told me to watch Dallas Buyers Club. So Sunday I’m going up to help paint and watch.
When I found this wonderful place I wanted to paint it on a railroad car. Lol. Lots of exposure. I asked my gp to tell others like me about it, but he didn’t act like that was gunna happen. But he is monitoring me and asked what I needed him to do. The meds were not in his data base, but they are now. I have the lft order for the 4wk check. I’m hoping it’s good not just for me, but for him. The interest is there and I think he might at least tell someone if all goes well.
Again, and again, I thank you..Thank you all. I think it worked.
As you can see, the lack of testing made me unable to get meds here. I filled out the e-trial form twice but couldn’t give test results I didn’t have. They e-mailed me to see if I was having problems completing the forms.. I told them I just couldn’t afford the program, but that the forum was very helpful. I hope you all don’t mind me being here. I thank God you are here.Still learning to get around here. Not sure how to get all the stuff at the bottom. I had to look up GGT, on my bloodwork its alb/glob i think. It is 1.8 with normal range being 1.3-2.5. So thats ok.
I am 58yo, and lived with this (unknowingly) for 34 years. Diagnosed 2 years ago, no insurance. I figured it would kill me. And we all gotta go sometime.
I’m not sure why i typed in generic hcv meds, but so very grateful i did. Today is my 15th dose. A little light sensativety the first couple of days..but so much energy. But the last 3 days i’m crying all the time. Idkw
Thank you all for sharing here, it has really helped me to know this can be beat. Bless you
