no one know what will or won't work for them...just because their is a "cure" doesn't mean it will work for you....that is why research is still very important...there are over a hundred unnamed virsus' that can mutate at any time...looke at the new bacteria....CRE....there is a difference between virsus' and bacteria' and there are many, many of both.  If you have a few hours go to CDC site and search for un-named virsus...then virsus' w/no cures...then do bacteria's....  

Dear rooferguy...there are major reasons to eat healthier and exercise more whether you have Hep C or not....go to posts "good stuff for your liver" post and "new to treatment"....and there are other ones on here too..these are just the more recent. there are many posters there with good dietry information. Just yesterday they came out with this report that processed meats, cheeses are linked to higher cancer rates...

As for being different...that is part of life...whether you are ill or not...if I was an alcoholic and stopped...then my life would be different....if I had melanoma...my life would be different...if a child, friend or relative is affected by a disease...you will be diferent.  

Exercise, diet changes will affect your body and your mind.  I am not a goody two shoes but have learned along the way that this is true.  Every so often my hip will pop and I haven't had tx...I will have joint pain and hand pain..have photo-sensitivey...have thinning hair...took interferon,riba and peg...  

ANYTHING THAT IS A CHEMICAL CAN PRODUCE A CHANGE IN YOUR BODY.  I am always astounded when on this site the lack of knowledge people actually taking the medications seem not to have....the info IS on the packaging...it is on the website....Ying-Yang,,,good and bad,,,every action has a reaction..

Arthritis is very painful...sorry for your troubles...good luck.

huh?

Are you able to read and then comprehend? I know that my brain fog is pretty sever most of the time!

"the nurse for the University of Pittsburgh Liver Center Guru, again, the nurse apologized by saying "Sorry. We destroyed your life" over and over again... "Sorry. We destroyed your life"!... "Sorry. We destroyed your life"! = their meds destroyed my life (not my HepC).

Understand rooferguy?

Maybe do some searching on here about P.I.S. (Post-Interferin Syndrome).
