ricktate Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I started new drug study dec. 2 for Hep-C and it seems to be kicking the virus down for the count. Doc tried usual interferon last year didn't even phase mine. The best part I get the drug free and get paid to in test. Viral load went from 7,000,000 week 1 to 27 week 4. Not sure when going to be ready for public but Hep- C and liver transplants on rise because effects take around 50 years to show up.

CECAA850 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Wow! That's outstanding. Sounds like a life altering drug. I hope the rest of the study goes well for you with no side effects. Edited December 31, 2013 by CECAA850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks guys I had transplant 2 years ago and doing good. Please have your blood tested for this... not normally tested and they did not test for hep-c in blood supply till about 1979. My hospital does like 1400 transplants a year so its on the rise for sure. They are becoming experts at this even saving 2 people with 1 liver now.

The Dude Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thats good news, my brother has hep c. I will have to tell him about this, though last time they did blood work his numbers were very low. Hope all continues to work out for you and your health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well been on drug study 5 weeks and just tested clear of Hep-c after 5 weeks good news I talked to guy from east cost that flies in for his stuff said he tested clear after 3 weeks I think. But he said he started out with only 1,000 on viral test. I had like 7,000,000. Seems like this drug is kicking Hep-c butt. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
