Hey GT2 – great to read your progress reports and thoughts including the comic ones the cartoon says it all doesn’t it! I had no local support during Tx and am very thankful that I could contact GP2U at very short notice when I had a question. I live in North East Victoria and just yesterday I read in the local newspaper that 44 scripts had been issued by consultants for the PBS meds. Interesting really cos I wonder how their GP’s will provide the support.

Hi Ariel
Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, I’m crying! Everything you say is so true. We are part of a family. Living with HCV is something that is so difficult to describe in words. It seems that we all experience different symptoms and also different Sx. HepC is insidious in its potency and so this is a very personal journey shared with those who really care. Yes we are all mums, dads and friends together and I can only applaud James’ work and include the fixhepc team with my heartfelt thanks to you all.

Thanks Gaj
After reading the links I have come to a similar conclusion. I researched this subject before taking DAA’s and thought at the time that I needed to focus on only one thing at a time. First of all I had to complete Tx that has fortunately resulted in a status of SVR12 for me. Now I need to allow time for recovery and healing. However, I do like to be informed as well as hopeful.

Thank you Thurl, Gaj, Fitz, Cowboy and Price
I agree with your last post Thurl, I have symptoms still that may be related, may not be related. They are aching legs and joints etc. my full blood count is mostly in range. These symptoms only reappeared very recently and with the onset of our southern winter the overnight temperature can be 0 degrees.

I copied some extra info from https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000540.htm
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will do a physical exam. You will be checked for signs of liver and spleen swelling.
Tests for cryoglobulinemia include:
Complete blood count (CBC)
Complement assay — numbers will be low
Cryoglobulin test — may show presence of cryoglobulins (It is a good idea to check to make sure the lab has experience drawing and storing blood for this test.)
Liver function tests — may be high if hepatitis C is present
Rheumatoid factor — positive in types II and III
Skin biopsy — may show inflammation in blood vessels, vasculitis
Protein electrophoresis – blood — may show an abnormal antibody protein
Urinalysis — may show blood in the urine if the kidneys are affected
Other tests may include:
Angiogram
Chest x-ray
ESR
Hepatitis C test
Nerve conduction tests, if the person has weakness in the arms or legs

Thanks for your post Thurl
The topic is of interest to me and as you state, the subject does not appear to be discussed often or with clarity for me anyway. The word itself frightens me! I am now svr12 and I am mindful of allowing time for healing since completing Tx. I have noticed a return of some recurring joint pain this week. My clinic apt is scheduled for next week and I was hoping to ask some questions about cryoglobulinaemia. Here is another link
