1585723 tn?1296821612 I'm very new to the world of hcv (though I'm pretty sure I have had it for over 30 yrs.) I've read many of your posts and you obviously have way more knowledge on the subject than I do. But I'm now confused. Aren't the alt and ast tests measurements of the rate liver cells are dying? Especially the alt? I'm grade1/stage1 so isn't it a good thing to keep my enzyme levels low and wait for even better treatments?

Avatar f tn Because a I have United Healthcare as well and it is also from Minnesota, I think this is the ridiculous insurance ever, every time we do bloodwork, that send me a bill saying this and that is not covered and the bill is over $200 that I have to pay out of my pocket.

Avatar f tn There are a lot of mixed medical opinions out there regarding this so you should do what you feel comfortable with both physically and emotionally...caffeine is tough to kick so if you decide to cut it out of your diet do it slowly by switching to a mix of decaf and regular...I personally gave it up while I was prego but I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks...however I quickly went back to my old habit and it is a b**** to kick it again!
Avatar f tn It sounds like you're having digestion problems. The most problematic of the foods you mention generally are first, the milk, second, the sugar, and third the coffee. But it's hard to say since diet is very complicated, and you don't say how soon after eating you laid down.

Avatar f tn t add to your problems. Any steady exercise will be good for your health, but if your arthritis is severe, you might consider a physical therapist or occupational therapist to get you started in a way that won't hurt you. Just a thought. All depends on how much you hurt and how nimble you are and how young you are etc. If you're just starting an exercise routine, start out slowly.
Avatar m tn Also cut out Caffeine, and eat plenty of veggies. Water is your friend and chicken bone broth does wonders. If you are a coffee drinker and it's difficult for you to quit then check out chicory root as a substitute. It actually has health benefits which you'll need in dealing with this problem. Probiotic yogurt is also a great addition. Make sure it's plain though. Hope this helps! There's more if you're interested, but this should give you a starting point.
