This way be way out there, but here goes...
Do you think that Coritsone or Steriods could also be a treatment for HepC.
Don't these drugs speed up the system and generate new blood flow?

Yes, steroids (specifically Prednisone) is the usual treatment for occult/autoimmune hepatitis, but I don't think it's used for regular Hep.

I have a friend who achieved SVR on tx and because she also had lupus her doctor prescribed Prednisone AND THAT BROUGHT THE VIRUS BACK. She had to go through treatment again. I don't think she will take Prednisone again.

yep steroidal tx's are IMMUNE SUPRESSANTS. they do the "opposite" of hepc tx... my kitty has to take the prednisone product and he always gets a cold when he's on them... boo hoo...
