This is a personal opinion on my disease Advanced Liver Disease* hepititus B/C* and viral/alcohol cirrosis* only 9% of my liver-works* 91% scarred and dead*..I AM NOT A DR*….! NOT..! NOT..! NOT..!
This is My experience only*..see a dr. if you have any of these*….!
I was diagnosed in ‘09 with my disease*..after liver-biopsies* blood-work* ultrasounds* throw in 2-colonosopies too. The drs. told me combination-treatment of an injection of interferon once a wk and 1200mgs of ribavirin a day* has cured some of hep-c*..you must be 6 months clean and sober and must take a state/fed phyciatric-exam before starting*..i did*..and started june 7th the combo treatment*.. today i am sorry i did*..! i failed miserably*..! i only completed 18 of a 48wk. treatment..! it took me from 180lbs. to 114 in 18wks. 6/25/09 i was rushed to the hospital..! -2 of dehydration/starvation*..they brought me back*..i continued..! the side-effects for me were horrendus*..the worst-flu* fever* chills*(cold since june) musule-aches* a stomache full of cement* hallucinations-(that have stopped* post treatment*) the massive-depression* massive-fatigue* headaches* hair-loss* living at 10%energy*..up-from 2% on treatment*..your all 100%..my spirit is high*..not my body*..have not stopped-i’m still in a wheelchair and a cane*..All from the treatment* not the disease*..delusions* (since-stopped too-mostly)..! Mentally sometimes its madness*..~another has killed themselves on this treatment as we speak*..! i had a viral count of close to 16 million* down to 0 for 8wks. when i went off*. i now wait to the end of march* when the drs will take my blood* if its 0..i beat hep-c in 18wks. Even if you complete the 48 or the new 72wk treatment*..you have to wait 5-6months to see if it worked=hep-c Free*..! I’m not holding my breath*..but miracles do happen* ha’..! we’ll see*..i will Not go back on if i still have hep-c…!!! will continue other treatment/options diet* no-alcohol or drugs* no-salt*..many herbs* bad-bacteria-eaters* I will never be the same after this treatment *..i’m in post-treatment just over 4-months now*….i don’t know* what my future holds*..maybe this can be useful to 1..that would be fine* ………….joy*hope*dream*LOVE* teddy:o)***~*..??!!!* ^*..look forward to the 3-6yrs the drs give me*…only God* know’s my date*..129lbs..now*….tomorrow-never-knows..enjoy* each~Day*

I’ve always simply enjoyed watching shows with Michael Cain. I was looking for information on Michael and somehow ended up on your blog. I’ve found this post grabbed my attention. I’ll go and take a look at the rest of your web site. Thanks!
