I didn't think to ask her why I was just getting them. I was diagnosed in 2001. Has anyone else had that happen? Ijust wondered if it is an
indication of anything. My bloodwork didn't look any worse than the last time. thanks

I was dx'd in 2000, treated twice, 2001, and 2002-2003....Genotype 1, I still carry this virus around with me but haven't treated since 2003.
I've gone through many life changes and sadly, I wasn't very kind to my liver, so I am hear to change those bad habits and seek support, as well as offer support. God Bless

Keep up the faith and say your prayers every day.! There are a lot of old timers on this website with some really great advice. Hep C is a lonely disease because you cannot discuss it with most people. But here you have a lot of friends in the same boat. Thank you to all for the encouragement and prayers.View Thread

wondering if anyone else has these experiences due to hep. I would appreciate any info that anyone can give me on this. Thank you....View Thread
Instead, I get shuffled into a room, a nurse comes in, hands me a booklet, tells me she wants to sign me up for a clinical trial, here's the info packet-take it home & read it. I asked if I would be tested to see where my virus was at that point and she says "we already know you have it, there's no need to test for anything". I left feeling like complete crap. I was even more depressed than I was when I got there! I wasn't sure I wanted to do a trial, so I gave it a few weeks and decided to go ahead because they had told me it would cost thousands a week (or a month, can't remember which it was) to treat out of pocket even w/my insurance...after a few days, they called me back saying they were sorry but I'm overweight so I don't qualify for their trial. Call em back when I lose 20 lbs at least. Talk about knocking me down even further.
I called another place last week and have an appointment next month. I don't want to keep skipping around to different places...I want to get with ONE doc who will take this seriously. It's MY life and I'd like someone to act like they care. I have questions written down to ask...even though I already know the answers to most of them from my own research. I just don't want to be dismissed again. It's very frustrating and it makes me feel like I'm less of a person because I have this stupid disease.
So has anyone else had a similar experience or can you offer me some wisdom on the subject? I have a tendency to get really upset and leave the doctor's office thinking I'll just forget it, let the chips fall where they may. THANK YOU!View Thread
