I read that Pamala Anderson stated she has the Hep C virus but would fight it using holistic healing. I wonder if the virus believes in it, I hope that celibrities like her do not sway people from getting the tx they need by listening to that kind of garbage. Does anyone out there belive she hasnt got a high priced private Dr. for tx in between her "holistic healing" sessions. If she hadnt come out and stated it in the paper I wouldnt mention it, but there is a lot of scared people out there that take these celebrities too seriously.
This has been so anti-climatic for me - not that I wanted the results to be bad - but the fear that I went into this with was unbelievable. My Mom came to pick me up from work to go to the appointment and all she kept talking about was my crazy aunt (I know she was doing it because she was nervous too so I let her go on) and all I wanted to do was tell her to shut the hell up.
I guess this could be a reason for everyone out there waiting for results that there is hope...it could go in your favor - it isn't always the worst case scenario.
I want to thank everyone here for the support - if it wasn't for this board - I would have lost it (especially you Mike - if you are ever up to it - I want to take you out to dinner). I am not going anywhere either...I am going to do what I can to repay this massive debt I have to all of you. I will be here daily and do what I can to help.
I am on a mission guys...I have to do something and get people aware of this - educate people - help people understand that we need more funds to do research and find better drugs. Just because I am ok now - doesn't mean I can't be right back where I was 2 hours ago in the future. I can't let the awareness and knowledge I have gained about this virus be brushed under the rug like it doesn't exist.
Right now - I need food and sleep. But - tomorrow is another day and I now have a purpose. Thanks again everyone - for everything.

That is the best news I have seen in a long time on this board. I have nice enzymes but yours are truly beautiful. When I said to relax I never dreamed it would be this easy. Congratulations. Just do as the doctor said and keep an eye on things. I think you are in real good shape and, honestly, I envy you just a tad. Simply wonderful. Mike
Hello everyone...I have good news. I have either had HEPC and cleared previously or I am testing a false positive.
Here are my results...
ALT : 10
AST : 14
HCV AB, RIVA : indeterminate
HAV AB, TOTAL W/(IGM) RFX HAV AB, TOTAL : NEGATIVE
HB CORE AB, TOTAL : NEGATIVE
HCV RNA, QN, REAL TIME PCR
HCV RNA IU/ML <50
HCV RNA, QN, PCR <1.70
The doctor told me that aside from getting tested every three months for the next year to absolutely rule out current infection that I should put this behind me and go on with IVF treatment.
Do my results indicate this to you mikesimon? I don't know what these mean in terms of anything. I am still in shock...I just want to go to sleep.
