For the past 3 days my eyes have been leaking a lot.  Also, I have
soreness around the eyes but maybe I was rubbing when I shouldn't
have.
Are watery eyes a known side of tx?

Met my BCLD's nurse practitioner today.  I really like the doctor and
I liked her equally.  She said some things I've never heard here.
Just thought I'd run them by the group.
She said they can't help noticing that their Type 1 patients who smoke

The doc just prescribed Fluocinonide for my rash.
One of the side effects is itching.

But, HOW do you know how long you've had Hep-C?
Do the doctors somehow figure out how long you've probably had it?
OR, do some know and wait a long time before doing anything?

well, I finally got the call today from my Doc's nurse. My first VL test
numbers came in today. OUCH!  right around 4 Million.
OH MY GOD!  They're supposed to be calling me back to let me know who my
GI doc will be, and they are making arrangements for my Biopsy etc..

Hi Guys/Gals,
My name is Adolfo, I'm 31 and live in Sydney AUSTRALIA. I've been HEP C+
for over 7 years now. I've already been through three months of Ineterferon
and Ribaviran combo (five years ago).

Has anyone experienced or has knowldege about elevated C Reactive Protein
(CRP)???.  I've had a high CRP level since stopping tx.  I still have alot of
joint and muscular problems.  All tests come back negative (which I am happy
about) but my doc does not understand the cause for ...

Did I miss read some time ago, and then catch part of a conversation
here tonight, where someone was saying they use a new toothbrush and
razor every time they give their selves a shot?
Geez..  That could get a little pricey     :-)

I had to fart yesterday in church....raised up on one cheek to sneak and
blew a really smelly one.  My dad gave me a funny look and smiled.  He
either liked the smell of it or thought it was humorous, one or the
other.  I'm just a chip off the ole block, I guess.  

Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to
people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that as an
observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to
Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance.

Something just crossed my mind and I'm wondering if anyone out there can
tell me if I'm way off base, or not.

I found out today I'll be shooting 15 mcg of Infergen daily, plus the riba
(riba-rage, here I come again!).  They do a VL at 12 weeks but have to let
them stick me every 2 weeks for CBC and PAC profile.  I told my boss today I
plan to be extremely sick (I think I can just about ...

Here's a NOObie question for you.
Having not even gotten to the point of getting to see a specialist yet,
or have a biopsy yet. Is there any warning signs that ones liver is
getting severely damaged?

I just did shot two -- really badly.  I cannot see well enough to do
this.  I thought the shot was done, pulled it out, saw it wasn't done
at all, plunged it back in and shot it.
Now I'll get all infected, huh?
