where to go next

[Timbo404]

Hi, My name is Tim
Two years ago i was told i had hep c. Four months ago i got sick with severe leg adema and the Droctors tell me my liver is failing fast. I'm loosing my work insurance in three weeks and do not know where to go for the help that ill need. or even really know where to start. After reading all the forms people have written, it looks like i'm in for quite a ride. The meds i'm taking make me really sick but i need them for the severe pain. I have read where people go into comas with this disease is this true. I've become really emotional My girlfriend has been very supportive, seeing as without her I'm all alone with no family.

One place to check would be the manufacturers of the different PEG-IFNs. Last I heard, both have programs to help those who can't afford tx.
