About Me: Female, MA, member since Mar 2008
I am 48, recently diagnosed with Hep C Geno 2 b.  Found during a routine blood test, no symptoms, no problems.......always healthy,   just a "wow guess what" from my (EX)doctor!!!  I am at a loss for the where, the hows, and the why's of it all, but determined to rid my... [More] self of it. I could use all the support/friends and info I can get from you brave folks out there!  This is all so new to me. I did decline the Liver Biopsy this week and opted for the alternative Blood test  "Fibrospectrem".... I think that was my first good decision. Results showed some mild fibrosis...but nothing that will do me in a year or so!!!   Is  there anyone out there who has any experience you would not mind sharing with someone so new to this... sometimes  I think i will burst with questions and fear!   It would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Wow, you're a 2b with over 30 million VL too? And you're killing it! I was worried too, until I read your post! I just found that I was 30.3 mill at start, and just did shot 3 today. I'm picturing UND for 4th week VL! And SVR for the both of us! Hang in there! cathy

Hi there, I've been wanting to write you a longer message and respond a bit more to some of your posts and haven't had the time, I hope to get to that soon. In the meantime, just wanted to let you know that you've been in my thoughts, I'm rooting for you and I enjoy reading your posts. Keep fighting the good fight!

type 2 also.. she has finished tx and has cleared the virus. She is a great support to me. She really never had any bad sx other then being tired. She reminds me that there are most likely 1000's of people treating and only a few people on this site. Everyone is different. I am not sure why it hits some people so hard and not others. I am just grateful so far. I have noticed that if I go in the sun i get itchy.... my liver counts are also coming down but the most important is the VL and I should know where I am with that the end of this week but it really has only been 2 weeks going into the third this week so I can't put to much into that. Keep in touch and I know we are going to be ok.....

How great you have the summer to do this and don't have to go to work. I swear today was the hardest day yet... I just wanted to lay down and sleep. I think I may be starting to crash and will need to take the extra shot. I hope not but I feel really sluggish today.. like walking thru mud.. I am not sure why I am on such a high dose of Riba.. I only weigh 147 lbs and it seems like most people are on 800mg. I am thinking maybe they started me high in case they have to lower it for any reason. Funny about sx... I read things like people starting to lose their hair after only a few weeks and getting rashes.. so far my only complaint is being tired...oh and I am having a hard time eating well... just want junk... and I don't usually eat that way. I keep in touch with Karen from this site. con
