Just a quick note to say hi! Sunshine 007s if your heart starts to hurt really bad thats your splein swollen. Itr feels like a heart attack.Swolen belly you most likely have to have a tummy tap which is nothing.Get to you GI Doctor.If your breathing gets bad go to nearest emergency room and have tummy tap. There is a new drug on market thats not as bad as interferon check into it. My prayers are with you ,Iv had hep-C 35 years ,black stool is not good but white or gray is worse and dark pee.Take care of yourself there is alot of help out there.
