Hi guys,
some of u know and some might not know, that i hvae Hepititus C, its effects left untreated is
cirossus of the liver(liver failure). it is the #1 silent killer in the US. most people dont know they
have, cause its symptoms are like many other illnesses. I am not sick from it or near liver failure. I did
how ever decide to try the treatment for it (only 40% chance of it working). well my 6months treatment
test was done last week. at this point the protacall says, if viral count is unchanged or not below a certain
level we must stop cause treatment isnt working. well my tests showed that my count went from millions
of virus to 10, yes 10 which means almost undetectable. and also means the treatment is working like it was hoped.
so now i go for the last 6 months to permenantly put the virus into remission.
i take peglated Interfuron(shot per week) and Ribavirun(4 pills aday).
Ive been very lucky with treatment(it working) and not having anything near
what the side effects could be.
lastly id like to say, i would like any of u who had blood transfusions before 1985 to be checked
specificly for Hep C, they had no screening for it or knew exactly what it was before then
so lots got into blood supply.
the gambit of Hep C is, u could never be ill from it and live fine, or u could end up with
liver failure/transplant. the transplant is why im going treatment route. to avoid the last resort.
Thanks
Mike Koon
