Oh well there is no use of me dreading the treatment until I am told what he wants to do. I hate to wait another year to treat, I have very little energy and body aches, I wondered if it is not the hep c instead of fibromyalgia. surely the treatment with the sovaldi included is not as bad as it was for the others who had a 48 wks of tx. Maybe I could do the 12 weeks or the 24.

Nevertheless, these drugs are only the beginning (Incivek and Victrelis). "These first-generation protease inhibitors will enjoy their day in the sun for maybe two or three years," says Raymond Chung, head of hepatology at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
As far as I know, Colchicine is prescribed to treat gouty arthritis. Myers Cocktail has been used to treat everything from clinical depression to hyperthyroidism.
Who treated you? A doctor or an 'alternative' medicine 'practitioner'?
I don't know what you mean by "UV treatment". Perhaps 'UV phototherapy' or 'ultra-violet light water therapy'.

In small studies, 83 to 100 percent of persons treated within 1 to 4 months of onset have had resolution of the infection. What is unclear is when to initiate treatment, at what dose, for what duration, and with which regimen. A practical but rigorous approach is to start peginterferon (in usual doses) and ribavirin (800 mg daily) for 24 weeks if HCV RNA is still detected 3 months after onset of infection.
Yes this forum is all about clearing the virus, but nobody minds if you want to use herbs. Just don't come on here selling them, I think that's what the main consensus is. If you want to clear the virus then you can't do it with herbs. By the way, I thought you were starting tx yourself?
If you have used herbs for years and you are so healthy then why would you even look into txing with interferon and ribavirin since you think they are so "harsh"? Just curious?
We need to know more details about your mom's health in order to give you our best opinions about what she might want to do - and what she might not want to do as well. Here's a list of some info you would want to find out and maybe come back with:
1. What genotype is her virus? Hepatitis C comes in several different varieties called "genotypes." Genotype 1, genotype 2, genotype 3, 4 etc.
The term RVR was used with peg-interferon and ribavirin treatment and is no longer used. It is already known that when a person becomes undetectable makes no difference in outcome with at least some treatments. Also the addition of ribavirin to Sovaldi + Oyysio makes no statistical difference in outcome as was found in the COSMOS phase 1 and 2 studies.
If HCV RNA rebounds and becomes detectable in such a patient before treatment is completed, this is referred to as virological breakthrough. Virological nonresponse is evident when the serum HCV RNA level remains above the limit of detection throughout treatment and is formally defined as less than 2 log10 decline in HCV RNA between baseline and week 12. A patient who has less than 1 log10 reduction in serum HCV RNA at week 12 of treatment is said to have had a null response.
I spoke with my Hep C specialist Friday about this. If I do relapse, plan B will be to treat with sofosbivir and ribavirin for 16 weeks, this will be available for G3's who have relapsed in a couple months. Of course he is optimistic about SVR....he is my Dr.
I also asked about EOT ribavirin saturation, seems the test for that is not available here, but again he was very upbeat, he pointed out that my CBC has held solid through out tx.
Interferon (which is what pegasys is) has been around a long time and the drug can be used to treat other things, including some cancers. If your partner is indeed taking these drugs then you must use a condom as the drugs can be transmitted to you and the baby though semen. If you partner does have Hep C the chances are very slim that it can be passed through normal sexual intercourse, however for the safety of you and your baby I strongly recommend you use condoms ALWAYS. I hope that helps.
