hepatitis c [View all]
To those of you who, like myself, suffer from Hepatitis C here is a good word and some hope. I was diagnosed approx 20 yrs ago, and the disease was progressing non stop. I went through the interferon and ribavarin regime but I couldn't cope so I stopped. My liver specialist then prescribed Sulvadin with Ocylio (I think the names are correct). After 2 wks i had a viral count test which showed a load of more than 2 million. 2 wks later i had another viral load blood test and it showed negative - not a trace of the virus! Amazing. So now I'm in remission. So to those of you who suffer from this disease take heart. There is hope.
However, there is one caveat - the pills are very expensive and cost (hold onto your pants) 1000$ a pill!!!!! The insurance really didn't give a hassle and are paying for it but to those who don't have insurance the company will help you get the pills even if they send some to you free!!!! Amazing.
Anyway good luck to you all.
