Avatar f tn Today and yesterday I have statred to cough-up worms. They are 1/2 inch long and are inside mucus from my nose and mouth. I have been on 36 weeks interferon/co-pegasus treatment. My desease count got down to 21, so I am being dropped as a non-responder as my white blood cell count went down below 100. Are the worms part of the liver issue or something associated in any way? I have been told I have 50% of my liver left.
Avatar f tn s on procrit, neupogen, 1/2 dose of pegasus, marinol, promethizine, lortab, and prozac. I think I remembered all of it. Anyway, the question is about AHCC, my sister in law wants me to get this stuff. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth getting? Thanks!

862235 tn?1336060295 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.

Avatar f tn Pegasus and Dr. Lupo, I have almost the exact same thing. I have a multicystic nodule on my left thyroid and every now and then i get a pain in my neck followed by a minor sore throat and some hoarseness due to a cough i usually only get when it flares up. I recently have been getting an upset stomach almost everytime i eat and i thought it was due to my acidic levels.
Avatar n tn Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?
233616 tn?1312787196 Drug interactions in the Liver 101. What you need to know. My clinic has postponed treating any patients with triple therapy until their software is updated to include all of the newest information regarding P450 interactions. Therefore I’m NOT the only person realizing just how crucial and important this all has become. Ergo I’ve decided to regroup my thoughts and explain the basics.

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C with Cirhosis and history of esophogeal varicise (tied off x 5 since March 2010) my spleen is also enlarged. I have had ascites but it is now under control. My hepatologist has ordered Pegasus and Ribo for me. He says that I only have a small window for treatment success (which he says is probably very low 20-40% if that) and I am wondering whether it worth going through the side effect and complications.
3159290 tn?1384128440 well its like this: i went to uams in little rock arkansas for help with the type 1 stage 4 hep c for a year and a half. after that time i asked the dr. why i haven't been put on pegasus and he said he was afraid it might kill me due to having an ammonia attack 8 months pryor. i stated the fact to him that i had been given 3 to 4 years to live and i would rather die from trying to put this disease "under arrest" than to die from.
