I have geno type 1, my last ultrasound showed my liver was getting
fatty so my doctor checked some things  mainly my cholesterol and it

1st shot on 26th, ok so far.  Only slight flu symptoms.
Just a little body aches and feverish feeling but not too severe yet.  Not
quite as bad as expected.
I had almost the same symptoms before treatment so I don't know whether it's

I saw the gastroenterologist today.  He got back the results of the blood
test and the abdominal ultrasound.  First he said he looked at the
ultrasound and everything looked really good - there was no evidence of any

Hello group,
I've been a lurker here for over a year, and read as often as I
can....post rarely.
I have hep C gen 1 , stage 3.

I really wasn't sure whether or not to post, but let this not be seen as

Almost every site I've gone to for information about Hep C mentions Milk
Thistle to help liver function.  First, does it really do anything?  Second,
how much should you take (I got a bottle of the 1,000mg and the directions
say to take 2 to 4 every day)?  Since they were fairly ...

Got word this morning, one of my students' dad died over the weekend of
complications from hep-C. The student told me about his dad last
Thursday. The boy is just a sophomore in high school, what a lesson to
learn.

So did anyone dress up as a dragon for Hallowe'en?
