I'm 21 years old and just recently was told i have hep c. i made some bad choices in the past and i know thats how i got it. i also have crohns disease and have been on and off of pain medication for the past 4 years. i've been on all sorts of medications for it including a stint with chemo. about 4 months ago i started having pain in my upper right abdomen and the normal symptoms of my crohns got alot worse. including- throwing up, nausea, being tired all the time, sweating and basically just being miserable. so once i got told that i have hep c i went to see a doctor that told me that my count for hep c was 29.60 which i have no idea what this number is but was told it was high... does anyone have any clue what this number is and if it is bad. Also i am currently taking morphine- a new medication called embeda which is very similar to Kadian (which i've taken alot in the past year), and roxycodone 15mg... i've heard mix things about these meds being bad or being ok to take. These medications are basically the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning and fuctioning like a normal person- without these i would be in so much pain i can hardle move- is that normal? Any information will help. thank you so much.
