ive have been diagnosed with hep c about three summers ago when i know i contracted this. is time a big player in the success of treating this and id been taking percs crack cocaine and also suboxen and alot of ibuprofen for cramps am i gonna die?
You may die if you continue with the drugs you have been taking. If you have stopped all street drugs, and don't drink alcohol, you will likely live a full life span. See a doctor and find out the status of your liver damage. Time does play a part in treating effectiveness in that the younger you are when you treat the better your chances for clearing the virus. Suboxone is liver-friendly and will not hurt you.
Time doesnt play a part in treating effectivness, but the longer you wait the more damage to the liver it does. Find youself a good hepatoligist, get all your blood test done and also a sonagram of biopsy. Hopefully he will set up a treatment regime for you. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and went on interferon after 6 months it didnt work for me. I then went on daily shots of infergen and took my last shot Sunday I have been clear for 52 weeks. The treatment wasnt easy but it was doable. I never missed a day of work. So look into treatment options, and dont give up hope. Im living proof you can be cured of this.
