Dr. I am 64 white female with COPD and Hep C and now Chirrosis I am a 2 time non-responder to Interferon and Riberviron, I lastly saw a Dr. Chiptini at Copper Hospital in Camden NJ I am on medicade and NJ Health HMO, I know you won't see me as a patient because of this. Dr. here in South jersey there is very little help for my condition, we only have a few (7) doctors who will care for HepC patients. It is very frustrating to me as I beleive I need the right meds to miminize the discomfort I have every day now, I have Osteo _Aritius in both knees and was told years ago I needad a double replacement but didn't do it, now no one will do it because of my liver, also my legs are now hurting all the time, I have weight on me too, can;t seem to lose apound I am 5ft 7in and weight 188, I never was this heavy? Had liver biopsy in 2008 .Stating my liver is showing disruption of normal shape and have severe portal fibrosis, Dr. I feel like I am running out of options and time, what do you recomend as far as any meds for me? At least I could tell this new Dr. what you said? Thank You
