Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Thanks Bob for the recipe book suggestion. I am going over to Kerrville and will look at the bookstore for it. Even if my viral load is zero, it could become active anytime. Am I correct in that? > Someone asked about recipes for liver health. The book: " The Liver > Cleansing Diet " by Cabot has many good liver friendly recipes. > Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 My best understanding is that they cannot tell you that your viral count is zero. It takes a certain amount to be considered " detectable " . So the question is, if you are undetectable is the virus really gone? According to my doctor, if I am undetectable at the end of tx(I was undetectable at 6 mos) they will schedule a test 6 mos after ending tx, and if still undetectable they will schedule another test 1 year after ending tx, and if I am still undetectable they will consider that I am in remission. He told me at that point it would be " over 90% " odds that the disease would not bother me anymore. -dz- --- quarles@... wrote: > Thanks Bob for the recipe book suggestion.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 I have heard varying reports. At first I heard 60%, then later heard that the 60% figure only referred to responders and many of them relapsed. Many figures consider all genotypes and type 1's, which most of us are, have a lower success rate. The best I could come up with was between 30-40% for long term success. I'm thinking that healthy habits and avoiding alcohol might stack the odds a little more in your favor. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Hey Dave!!! Got a question for ya ok???

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Dave, I honestly don't know how I got my Hep C.... Living in the fast lane over here sure could do it though.I found out I needed glasses.Now figure this one out for me ok....If a person KNOWS they can't see well, why is it they have to pay someone to tell them too? Why is it you just can't walk in and say I need glasses. Let's just find some that will be good for me and just omit the Doc. payment..we could judt pay his assistant whom already knows what to do!!!It's just luck that my sister-in-law works for an eye place and is getting the frames and lens for me at a discount..All I cared about is that I don't look stupid with them!! hahaha.Well Diane is gone for a while and SJ is on her way back to Oregon and Lynnjoy's hubby had a gallbladder surgery.......So where is Vicky?? Get in touch soon so I don't feel all alone in here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 I know what you mean. I lived in New Orleans and spent most of my time and money down in the French Quarter. This was probably around the time I contracted this dragon and I was using and drinking as if it was a contest. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Welll Dave I don't drink at all....I try to eat > right.....Living in Louisiana > it is kinda hard to do that all the > time.....hahaha....Thanks for the info I > appreciate it!!! > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 I noticed the traffic has been down a little lately. I was sick as a dog again yesterday. It was a little different though, I have been sick early in the day and getting better in the evening, yesterday I felt ok in the morning and got worse as the day went on. So far today I'm doing ok. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Dave, I honestly don't know how I got my Hep C.... > Living in the fast lane > over here sure could do it though.I found out I > needed glasses.Now figure > this one out for me ok....If a person KNOWS they > can't see well, why is it > they have to pay someone to tell them too?
