Hi. Talk about anxiety!!!!!!!!! I got the results back today on my latest viral count, you see, I found out last fall that I have Hepatitis C. The brand I have is the genotype 1B that is MOST resistant to "treatment" and it indicates that this type is most likely to get liver cancer. In Dec. my viral load was 930,000. I guess that's fairly low. They don't even want to talk interferon until it's over 1,000,000. I found out today that I'm at 1,700,000. I'm taking the herbal protocol as reccomended in Stephen Harrod Buhner's book "Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver". I'm in this civil lawsuit and decided last week my health-whatever I have left of it-is more important than winning, or even exacting justice. So we've been talking "settlement" for the last 2 weeks. I'm so upset with all of this I've had 3 periods in the last 30 days. If any of you guys pray, I sure would appreciate some prayers because I sure am scared!!!!!!!!!!! My sons are grown and I live alone, otherwise I might consider going the interferon route. The OTHER thing about that crap, aside from it being ineffectual in 60% of the 1B genotype, is that it can cause horrible depression. It's not advised that those that have a history of mood disorder get treated with it. I'm not sure Selegiline and DLPA can stand up against that!!!!!!!!! Other than that I'm just fine! I'm 47 and my blood pressure is 110/70, my cholesterol is so low it's in the adolescent category. I walk about 6 miles per day. Pray/meditate, eat lots of salmon and oatmeal (not simultaneously!), I have a juicer-I juice carrots, redbeets,apple and celery EVERY DAY! I'm trying SO HARD to be healthy and strong to deal effectively with reality as I "know" it!
I'm sorry to burden you guys with this but I just need to know there is someone out there. Maybe Dr. Bob will make a Hep C category.
