Avatar f tn To my knowledge there aren’t any issues with concurrent use of suboxone and IFN therapy.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I'm new to MedHelp forums and would like information on Hep C & hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2000, after the birth of my son. I was also diagnosed with Hcv geno type 1 about 6 years ago. I started triple therapy tx with Sovaldi almost five weeks ago and have been researching hep c information relentlessly. ( this is also my 1st tx) Can someone tell me if my hypothyroidism may have a chance of going hyper?
Avatar f tn There is a hepatology group in Houston, "Liver Specialists of Texas." They are at Saint Lukes Hospital and have a research group that conducts clinical trials on new hep-c meds used in conjunction with the standard combo therapy (interferon and ribaviren). As part of the trial, your meds and doc visists are free. There are hepatology groups or individual hepatologists nationwide who are involved in these same clinical trials.
248382 tn?1274938634 I do not know anything about Reclast, but maybe my treatment on Rituxin is along the same line. I have Hep C, 1B, grade3, stage4, with fibrosis. I have done all 3 therapies, Peg-Intron,Infergen,and Pegasys(102 weeks).I could clear for 5 or 6 mths. on therapy and then it would blast me again. The Hep C has brought along Neuropathy, Cryoglobulinema, and Vasculitis.

1614821 tn?1299187646 i have hep c and i was wondering if there are any programs that offer financial aid for treatments
Avatar m tn I moved to Montana to reduce stress in my life hoping my medical condition would improve. I have hep C which has progressed and added cirrhosis. The viral load went down to undetectable and conditions stayed the same per MRI without change. the viral load is now back up. I can't find a job nor do I have health insurance. It is recommended that I do another round of peg-interon/riboviron which didn't work the first time but to reduce swelling in veins to esophagus stomach.
Avatar m tn Well i see you made it over here now to the hep c forum, you might want to put your yes or no questions in one thread since there our others here. Answer to your question is yes but you will always have the antibodies.
2203249 tn?1338990446 U know that my boyfriend had hep c and started treatment back last may. He only had to be on it for 6 months because he was such a quick responder. Every Dr. appointment since then he has been UND until this past monday...tests show hep c is making its way back. His viral count is up to 5600. We are both beside ourselves as the dr was so positive about hep c not coming back with his genotype but apparently it did. We go back to the dr in 3 months to decide what to do next.
Avatar f tn I need to begin treatment for Hep c but I am currently unemployed and have no insurance or resources. Does anyone know of any assistance available?
847050 tn?1240133779 Get married, I did. I haven't passed it on to my husband. Having Hep C isn't a prison sentence. Educate yourself as much as you can about so that you can talk about it with him. Practice safe sex and enjoy your life!!! If you are REALLY worried you could look at getting treatment despite what your doctor says. Perhaps you could seek a second opinion.
