two years post treatment

Hey guys, it's been a while.

  I finished the treatment 2 years ago now, feelin some what better than before. I have a pain syndrome thats how HCV was first found and I hoped that treating it would get rid of the pain, while that didn't happen. Now I have a lipoma in my sack that makes ya feel like ya dropped the lunch box.
  I read that HCV can be associated with lipomas, any one out there developed lipomas any where? Lipomas with pain?

Hey Harry just wanted to say hi since I hadn't seen ya in a long time! Don't know much about lipoma's or dropping lunchboxes.......but I'm glad you are finally starting to feel somewhat better. I think it does take a lot more time then we think it should.......it should be instantaneous but just doesn't appear to be. I hope all the problems go away for you!

I developed Olcranon Bursas on both elbows.  The Tx does some weird things to people-Cure or no cure.

Harry, good to see you back.

There is a study about lipoma  and HCV, but it only had 12 participants.

I didn't develop any myself though it certainly might be directly related.

Take care,
Eric
