hep c symptoms slightly different

[cruella08]

I have hep c genotype 2 I have extreme joint pain both arms shoulder to wrist. I have red sores dominant to my right side arm some on my leg. They itch, are painful and very slow to heal. Are these symptoms? They were the symptoms that made me see a Dr. but they are unresolved. Suggestions?


This discussion is related to Hepatits.

The research is from people who are on the expert level and have researched with the highest bestest brightest doctors in the world.

We are saying the same thing.


Good luck to you as well.

It appears that you mean well but when you are dealing with people such as Mikesimon who has been here almost ten years and dealt with transplant and the best medical teams in the world as well as hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of personal research and experience in addition...well....it is just our duty to point out the discrepancies and incorrectness of some statements.  

Believe it or not for the most part these people who are on the expert level and have researched with the highest bestest brightest doctors in the world - are listened to because they know exactly what they are talking about and do not base their entire ideals on one little study from here or there.  

The collective shared intelligence of just a Willing and Mike alone is better than any doctor you could possibly ever find because not only are they brilliant but they have walked the walk and DO talk the talk.

Good luck to you and your hbv.

I can tell no one read the material pertaining to HCV. That is all I am asking. Forget about viral load, supplements, any recommendations I have made. Educate yourself regarding the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase procces of the HCV.

"telling someone to take supplements immediately without having any idea of who they are or much about their condition is highly irresponsible"

"It's downright scary is what it is. I sincerely hope people have more sense than to follow this type of advice"

I wish you all well and my hart goes out you all. That was why I came here. I will pray you all look into this. I am not personally making any claims at this point now. What is the harm in just reading the science and let me repeat the word Science, SCIENCE, proof that is what I have posted. Selenium regarding the condition of HCV is not well known by most who suffer from it.

I wont post here any more. You can reply to this with such remarks as good riddance etc,
I do wish all good health and a more proactive approach of managing your health with simply expanded knowledge of cutting edge research and science, of course with the care of a qualified health physician.

It's downright scary is what it is. I sincerely hope people have more sense than to follow this type of advice.

Well said Nygirl, no need for me to respond to shellywinters et al.

viral load is not used to determine disease progression with hcv. It does not correlate with liver damage or how long a person has had hcv. My viral load was 7 milliion 12 years ago, and has since been as low as 400,000 and in the many millions. when I started treatment my vl was 2.6 million.

telling someone to take supplements immediately without having any idea of who they are or much about their condition is highly irresponsible. it is one thing to speak of your own experience, it is another to say take this supplement immediately. You are not their doctor, you do not know fully about their condition, you don't know if they have allergies. It's quite alarming to see someone do this.
