I am looking for anyone who may be on the Viramidine Study. I started pills last week(or a placebo0, and the Injetions using the Redipen start in about 3 more weeks. I know the information we share here my be somewhat limited, but I am looking to share the tx experience with others. If you are currently under way with tx, please share any sx info, or anything else you care to share. Best of luck and thanks.

It's funny you said that, it's like we are twins.  By the way I have twins, boy and girl....

Another thing about this is every one is worried about paying for someone else.  But they fail to see that in all states, NEW YORK is one of the big ones, that we are paying for all State, Federal and city workers to have a pension and medical for life.  Where do they think this money comes from?  It all comes from the tax payers like us.  Our senators and congreemen or woman get the best medical in the world and there pension for life is their salary for the last year they work before they retire.  Now, where does this money come from?  The tax payers, but if all had the same coverage as the pulic ,see how fast they start screaming. They are pulic servants, they work for us and some where along the line they for got that.

By the way still feeling great, the headache is gone.  I hope this ride stays this way.

I don't know about you or anyone else but I'm not an innocent victim here. I enjoyed a rock star like excessive lifestyle for around 25 years. I contributed to the current status of my health and fliviously spent 10's of thousands of dollars on a good time. Now I live a modest middle class life and it's time to pay the piper.
Why should I have expectations that my medical care should now be taken care of by someone else. If I need a new liver I was the one that destroyed the original one, and could have paid for one if I had not decided to spend that money on a good time. Personally I have taken responsibility for my own health.  boo hoo     Peace

It's like having a twin...I am so glad you are around.  :)

I'd rather pay more for gas to help with insurance for all rather than pay $5.00 a gallon (which it went up to from the current NY price of $270) for FAKE gas crisis' like after Katrina and watch the companies post billion dollar profits.

Oh yeah isn't the current President's family rich oil men I wonder how they made out monetarily if the gas companies made a billion dollars telling us there was no oil available?

Sorry but how hypocritcal can one be?

You are right about Mario Cuomo's mom getting Medicaid and how the rich and political powerful one's abuse the system, sadly this is the case on both the left and right.  I have researched this and was amazed how the people who need it are turned down in most cases and the one's who can afford it get it because of who they know.

How ever, what most people in this country don't relize is that the European countries with national health care leave little chance for abuse,thus saving billions of dollars.  We all know Europe pays alot for gas, but the heavy taxes they pay pays for every one's complete medical care and also provides every one with a pension for life.  By doing so they don't need Unions for worker,who bleed companies dry as we see happening right now in the car industries, etc.

I don't know about any one else, but I would gladly pay extra taxes on gas to get the pension and medical care and weed out abuse.  The system we have leaves so much for abuse, and we do need change.

Peace,
