On Hepatitis C Treatment / Re: Started Harvoni 3/12/15

Now it is 2/21 and I rarely think about hep c.  It is a thing of the past.

I got my covid vaccine 2nd shot 3 weeks ago.  Life moves from one drama to another.

Hi jeremy

People with liver disease should avoid any medications not approved by their doctor. Everything you ingest is something your liver needs to proseas you clean out of your system. Especially true for intoxicants. Also there is no over site or standardization of these products. So there’s no way of knowing about what possible possibly dangerous ingredients may be in the mixture.

Some people say that such things like kratom and magic mushrooms can help with joint pain. Do you think is it worth it?

Hepatitis C and HIV Coinfection / Mortality Risk Rises Sharply in People With Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and HIV
« Last post by Hep Editors on January 21, 2021, 11:50:27 am »
People with hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV coinfection are at a much higher risk of death when compared with people who have only one or even two of these viruses, researchers reported in a study published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases.

Around the world, hep B, hep C and HIV affect millions of people. Each virus is independently linked to higher mortality. With shared transmission routes and increased susceptibility to other infections, two or three of the viruses may occur together, a phenomenon known as coinfection.

Post Hepatitis C Treatment / Re: Recent Bloodwork Results Seem Good
« Last post by northfork on January 19, 2021, 12:44:19 pm »
Hello Lukey, I too was finally cured with Vosevi before it was approved. I was in the Polaris 1 study. Polaris is my favorite star for good reason.

 This whole thing with Covid perhaps resonates differently with those of us who battled and are battling Hep C. We may have more respect for viruses than a lot of people and we may be more resilient in the face of the limitations imposed by this contagion. At least, that is my hope for us all. Best wishes.

Hepatitis C and HIV Coinfection / Drug Use, Unstable Housing Tied to Lack of Hep C Treatment in People With HIV
« Last post by Hep Editors on January 19, 2021, 11:36:12 am »
Despite strong evidence that people who use drugs or are unstably housed can successfully complete hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment if given proper support, such individuals who are living with both HIV and HCV are still less likely to receive treatment for the latter virus.

That’s the key finding from a study conducted at the University of California, San Diego, in which researchers analyzed factors associated with whether people with HIV and HCV coinfection had received a referral for direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment for hep C.

I do have more faith in this one, with the 8 week Harvoni treatment  I was approved for 12 weeks but doctor thought 8 week . Long story but wasn't  a happy camper and thought the doctor was more into seeing if the  8 week would work and not what was best for me. I'll beat it this time
