I think in NJ any company with a certain number of employees has to cover IVF. Not sure if you are working. Blue cross NY does not. Big debate needs to happen because erectile dysfunction is covered but ovarian dysfunction is not. Male oriented society lives on in 2011. Good luck!

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

I was recently diagnosed with a large cyst (5cm) on my left lobe and 2 small cyst on right. Both benign. My questions is I have a constant sore throat and pain in neck and also indigestion/ in stomach every time I eat. I am convinced its my thyroid issues. The endo doc decreased my Liothronine from 37.5mgcg to 20mcg because of side effects. The last thing I want is surgery. Do others her experience these stomach pains/nasusea/sore throats.

Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

What I have heard is that Pegasys has just one dosage because it has larger molecules than PegIntron and therefore mainly stays in your bloodstream while PegIntron with its smaller molecules can find its way where Pegasys can not. Every adult has the same amount of blood independant of body weight, and therefore everyone should have the same amount of Pegasys. One is also not to compare milligrams of Pegasys with milligrams of PegIntron. They are not the same.

Seeing that there not doing any more trials in my area for Sofosbuvir I am now looking at Faldaprevir.Is anyone on a current trial with that right now.Also if you failed treatment with Pegasus,Riba and telaprevir would I still be able to do it?

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

Did i inject my self for three weeks with interferon that didnt work??What should i do with the one injection i still have in this fridge for the remainder of my vacation?? Is 10 degrees really to high??

Sorry if I was rude...I apologize. I don't want to add to your stress. This illness is no picnic. Again, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell anyone at work anything about your health, period!!! Read about employee rights and medical issues. Do cancer patient come to work one day and say "hey boss I got cancer". No way! No one can make you say anything about your health. Your health is your business. It is your legal right to say nothing. It is the law.

Now, I am embracing the fact that the TX is defeating a destructive virus that has been in my body for many decades. The change in disposition helps a lot. We will all be pulling for you. Be proactive in dealing with the SX's as they come up. Hope you can find some way to have a bit of time off to adjust to this TX.

I was in Mumbai for the first time in this life in 2012. I had always wanted to go to India and it finally happened by some miracle, MB be happy!

Characteristically hepatologist said for another autoimmune disorder I have (Uveitis) on my eyes that Pegasus may negatively interfere in case that is not contracted with Hep-C. In the oposite case ,that it is contracted with Hep-C, Uveitis may take advantage by interferon too. Only way to know this is just applying the treatment. I understand you because I am surprised by this facts too. But be sure I understood this very well and I confirmed the facts as well.

If you have problems giving it away locally, keep it in the fridge and quietly watch this forum. I found someone in need of the extra neupogen I had. Unfortunately there isn't always an easy, legal way to share our extras.

My husband has had Pegasus and Ribavirin treatment for 6 months. His two tests since then have come negative. We understand that I should not get pregnant until after 6 months from last dosage taken. For some reasons I want to get pregnant by the end of 5 months since the treatment finished. Would it be risky or we shall go for some blood tests to check the drug residual in blood? If there are any such tests what are they called?

I live in New Jersey and my husband and I need affordable health insurance. He owns his own business and we are paying close to $900 dollars a month for doctor visits, hospital, prescriptions, laboratory, diagnostics etc. We currently have United Health Care/ Oxford. We did have Cobra when I left my job, but that was too expensive $1300.00/ month. With our Cobra we didn't need referrals, but with Oxford we need referrals. Our copay is $30.00 for doctor visits and $50.00 for specialist.
