Thanks giving weekend, 2006 diagnosed with Hep C,1a, stage 2, viral count 3 million.
- had it for 20-30 years.
- blame my parents for not tellin me bout the dangers of drugs!
- my symtoms prior to treatment, tired all the time, soar aching muscles, soar joints, fast visual change, mental confusion more than normal.
- Neurologist found the virus after two years of symptom complaints to Doctor.
- started treatment Feb. 07 for 48 week, finished in Dec, 07 SVR after twelve weeks.
- weight based ribavarin treatment, had to decrease mid course due to low red blood cell count.
- it was hard for most of it, could not walk twenty feet without having to sit and regain my breath.
- hunting was real tuff, my son would prop me up against a tree, load my gun and turn on the walky tacky. The squirells were pickin on me all day, but sitting out there watching life go by is worth it in the end.

Acute hepatitis 1971, looked like a jack-o-lantern & thought all these yrs. it was gone.
DX Oct. 2008 w/geno 1b
3/4 then, don't know now
Starting VL 210,000
TX Nov. 08-June 09 in boceprevrir trial for 28 weeks; cleared on SOC lead-in.
SVR if they will ever run the darn sample (guess turkey and lab work do not mix).
Interferon hangover (great term, Speed) with some stupid autoimmune stuff still going on 6 mos. post-EOT. Hoping for the best; very glad to regain my normal lifespan prediction. I will meet my grandchildren after all.
