Yep, she's baaaaaack.............I've been having some really, really severe
fatigue problems and I'm wondering if any of you with advanced disease have
any tips for me.  I've been sleeping upwards of 10 hours a night and that's

Hi group, my gf has hep c and has been on treatment for 8 weeks.  The
pharmacy called her on Friday and told her that the prescription had a
typo and they wouldn't fill it til they got the Dr. to send over
