I hope the picture of the girl on the front page has caused tricks to
the eye.  The photo makes her look HepC yellow.

I'm the girl, but you wouldn't recognize me today... have a look at the
Fambly Album! Now I'm SVR, fat and happy, and, yes, there is life after tx!

That yellow look, then, is just the way the photo was taken.  Right?

It is good to hear you have SVR, but if your liver was compromised
enough to give you the yellow tint that shows in the photo then you
would still be in bad shape  Right?

You see a lot of yellow people at Emory.  Most of the time when you
get yellow, treatment is no longer an option.

Glad to hear you are well.

The yellow cast was applied with PhotoShop... seemed to suit the subject.

Treatment, in most cases, allows the liver to repair varying degrees of
damage caused by HCV. Before tx, I had bridging fibrosis/cirrhosis, but I
haven't had a second biopsy to see how much, if any, the situation improved.
However, I was highly symptomatic before treatment (had been for nearly 20
years) but now I have few, if any, symptoms of liver disease. My only
complaint is aching joints in the morning, but this may only be mild
arthritis and, because it's more of an annoyance than a problem, I've not
seen a doctor about it.

I never did go yellow, one reason that doctors didn't think to look for
hepatitis. It seems that there's not much rhyme nor reason to who shows
jaundice with hep c, although it's true that end-stage liver disease will
always cause jaundice.
