Hi this is only my second post, I am a Hep C genotype 1 in my 6th week
of treatment.  I understand that us genotype 1s have a longer treatment
period of 48 weeks compared to genotype 2s and 3s who have a 24 week

After a visit back to my "blood" doctor a couple of weeks ago, I got
the numbers on my iron straightened out to the point I can figure out
what I need to do...
When I was diagnosed with Hep C a couple of months ago, my initial iron

Hi - I just finished week 37 and for the last couple weeks have had
cracks on the corners of my mouth.  Has anyone else had that, and if
