Well I went through the treatment for 3 months and my viral count went from 15 millions to
0.After I became anemic. I could not go on . It was to hard on me .I was already suffering from depression ,O.C.D.,and bi-pollar .I am 56 yrs. old and live alone. I had no one to take care of me and no facility to go to for the year treatment. I was just told oh well. 10 billion dollars a month spent on a war and they can’t help me -

God Bless You Michael. You are never alone though. I have not walked one step of this journey without God by my side & neither will you. If you choose to accept him you will see. I was told by doctors it would be a miracle if I made it past Christmas. I am still here & I have my first grandbaby on its way in December of this year. God Bless. Kristina

I have lived much longer than any doctor had predicted so that goes to show the power of prayer! I have had such an outpouring of love from others that it helps to keep me going. My health declines but my faith increases each day. Success stories like your always makes me smile congratulations! God Bless You!

That is great news for your cousin! I am a true believer in some of the all natural herbs like Milk Thistle, etc. if used with the understanding they may help MAINTAIN liver health not cure it. Also, I just want to clarify that a negative result is not really negative…it just means low enough to be undetectable on the standard test. It is a matter of terminology and I am sure you knew that. Anyway, Congratulations to your cousin & you hang in there! God Bless!

Hi Margo, don’t quit unless it’s an absolute must. My 1st treatment was the worst. I worked f/t 7 months then became fatiqued, short of breath, achy, and real blah so I took temp disability from work. Rest, drink a gallon of water a day to flush your system and hydrate your skin. Get a good body lotion,take motrin and I take folic acid/b-complex, have supportive friends, I care for my yard and house alone I am on week 40. Start a hair loss treatment now. Treat this like the flu fluids and rest.
