Re: A full recovery.../My dream

[Guest guest]

So glad for you Rob

I am 3a and went to a neg viral load by week 5 I have been on Tx

for 17 weeks and was originally told 6 months that went to 7 months

and now I just got the report from Mayo that they plan to keep me on

Tx until my liver fails and I need a transplant.

Does this make even 1 iota of sense????????????? They obviously don't

think I will attain SVR but to not even give it a chance??? I am so

disgusted. This was supposed to ADD more years before transplant.

Gads I wish I went alternative! I JUST KNEW I could not trust these

sons of a bitches Oh I am so mad!!!!!

THank you for your support. Prior to my starting treatment I

volunteered for a acupuncture trial at my university. I did not know

it at the time but I was in the group getting the actual treatment and

during that six months my vital hep stats did come down. Mind you, I

was also alcohol free and on a hep recovery diet but in my case I

think that this alternate therapy helped me.

Cheers,
