Dear Friends, Am a HCV patient. First diagnosed with HCV in Jan2001.Treated with Ribavirin tablets only.When LFT levels ok, Doctor okayed. Had not known the severeness then. Doctor( Gastro and hepatologist) had not informed me.Only in 2003 when I had severe tiredness, tested again..Diagnosed with HCV- genotype 1a. Undergone interferon alpha 2b injection full course for 16 months. Viral load came down from 32000copies/ml to positive in the first 8 months ,but below detectable limits.Continued further. Tested again.Positive, but below detectable limit again. Advised by the doctor to continue Ribavirin tabs for another 6 months. No developments. I discontinued all treatments loosing hope.Even after taking a full course of Interferon no use, having to spend all my possessions, no use Took some Ayurvedic medicines and siddha medicines and also herbal medicines.Tried all sort of medications I came across, ate whatever herbal potions people gave me.But maintained LFT ok. Again checked now recently, after I felt the tiredness overall. Viral load 1200 copies /ml. SGPT and Alkalene phosphatase levels slightly elevated. Am in a dilemma ,what to do next.. A doctor friend of mine, my class mate in schooling days,advised me to see another Gastro. Have to take retroviral drugs again!!!!, he tells me. Anyone. Give your suggestions.
