    By any chance did you give a urine sample? I had similar results last year and the results freaked me out. I have prostate issues and some symptoms mask urinary infection symptoms. The subsequent urine test confirmed e-coli infection in my urinary tract,aka, UTI (urinary tract infection).

    Follow Dr J’s advise as I have elevated glucose readings, also. An A1c test might
    help. Hopefully, it is only a minor infection of some sort. Good luck!

    It sounds like you’ve heard this before…

    One of my favorite quotes. I’ve used it (the quote) and I still live the message
    that the quote conveys…..3 cat lives out of 9 left now.

    I never heard or read this quote until you posted it a while back. My friends
    think I’m suicidal to be doing things I do at my age.

    Your poem is excellent. Keep doing your great work. You are one of a kind

    You are the man, though. Without you, your website, volunteers and helpers, we would not
    have a home to visit once in a while.

    We need to thank …..you.

    I second this gesture. Mike is an excellent person to contact. I recall a couple of years ago
    a suggestion or two regarding a “sticky” section to highlight very important or frequently
    asked questions that would benefit those who visited this website. It would be noted in red
    or starred or whatever. I apologize in advance for not searching and might have missed the
    answer why or there might be one.

    In any case, it appears the urgency has dissipated……. Gilead is not the “bad” guy anymore,
    pricing gouging comments have declined, uncaring USA GI doctors, etc. etc. etc.

    Hep C is still alive and doing well here, unfortunately.

    Mike is the man. Get in touch with him. Thanks , Mike, for your tireless efforts .

    WOW……Gaj was one of the first peoples to not only help me but countless others on this forum.
    I am stunned. His insight and guidance was second to none. His wisdom will surely be missed.

    I thought for sure he would beat this. His encouragement was so upbeat and informative.
    I wish i would have been able to shake his hand and give him a big hug one day.

    His contribution to the forum will definitely be missed. For new members and guests, his typed
    words will be embedded on this forum forever……..RIP, my friend.

    It has been weird moderating. I posted twice and one has stuck so far. It now says under comments
    “Closed”. I guess we got too close to the money.

    Hi Carol,

    2 words: Pill Cutter!

    It is a triangular holder, with a small blade on a pivot bar. Kind of like a miniature guillotine for pills. About 2 quid in Boots or Superdrug

    I’m sure Dr F’s recommendation is solid….spend the $$$ for the best

    It took a long time to go from 2000 to 3000 members here at FixhepC.
    Are there other sites now promoting HCV eradication that is as good?

    FixhepC is the best site for information and potential SVR status.
    I guess more exposure is the key, but it appears complacency or
    whatever has set in.

    Hi re_roll

    3-4 beers, sometimes a 6 but not everyday anymore. Still trying to get it down to once a week. It’s hard as I am single with a stressful job. I’m either stressed or bored. But I never drive or cause any mischief.

    Since HCV eradication and education is our goal here, I will make this short. BTW, you have done
    a very good job. Now that I know that I am SVR 99.9% (one is never cured), I like to drink w/o
    the sickle dude in the black robe following me daily. Having beers or cocktails after a stressful day
    is relaxing and therapeutic. Don’t know you personally, but if a few Heineys can cause issues for
    you, then quit, If not, enjoy life. It is shorter than anyone thinks.

    Moderation, moderation, moderation………YMMV.

    GF….good for you. I’ve been around for a while. There are good and
