I think you will find on this site several people who understand. Addiction or abuse. I am one of them. Maybe you should try and get tratment for alcohol before you get on any hep c treatment. Believe me you do not want to go through treatment if you can not be compliant with it. It is a rough road and you need to be able to follow DR Orders. I would encourage you to go to AA oR Na. You sound very depressed you might want to talk to Mental health. I not judgeing. I have Been in your shoes.
I'm not gonna advocate alcohol use, but somebody posted a study not long ago that said alcohol use didn't affect treatment outcome. "
LOL is that the point or how many stages did her disease progress that it neednt have? Mine sure did. And for every one person who has not had treatment affected you can't know that there are another five who did not (or one or two who knows?)
It's always better to err on the correct side or why bother to worry about treatment?
And yes there are many alcholic/addicts on here so please dont think it's preaching, it's more like preaching to the choir.
I got this from someone who had been on the previous trial, but for 24 weeks.
he's just trying to get you to understand how dangerous it is to drink with liver disease. It fast forwards your liver damage at twice as fast, it really is concern for your well being and trying to get you to understand how damaging it is.
Some of the people here are dealing with cirrhosis, liver transplants, liver cancer...it's so hard for them to see someone ask for damage to their liver when they would give anything not to have these problems...and drinking with liver disease is just asking to have these things, even if you don't see it that way. It's not judging, it's fear for what your certain future will be if you don't stop.....
Katlia. I have never attacked you nor will I ..
There is an old saying I like ."Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie"
I wish you well in your recovery and with HCV..
Will
