Do some foods help with Hep.?

My numbers keep going up and down. First results I was 860/1668, next test 193/290, next test 480/1200 and most recent test 260/450. I am giving blood again this Friday. I am seeing a specialist at UCLA now. He said we will see how my numbers are and then start treatments. He said I contracted this about 3 months ago, leaving epidurals I got in my spine for herniated discs as the most likely place I contracted it. I do have tattoos, but didn't get one in the time frame he provided. I have never shot up any drugs or had a blood transfusion. I suffer from all of the symptoms. Aches and pains, fatigue, fever, itching, orange urine, blurry vision, memory loss, My questions are, is it possible for a doctor to pinpoint the time when you contracted it?, how normal is it for my numbers to go up and down the way mine do? How bad are the side effects of the treatments I am about to start?
Thanks for any info.

The tests came back a few days ago and it confirmed that he does in fact have it. More tests are being done to see exactly where everything falls. I am trying to be as supportive as I can but despite that hes extremely depressed and feels that he is getting what he deserves for the live he used to live(he has been clean for 4 years). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that could help or even anything that would help him feel more optimistic rather than this is the end. His doctor didn't help him out very much, basically said you have hep c and sent him out the door leaving him guessing about everything which i imagine doesn't help any with thoughts that are probably running through his head.

It has been a month since the day I got a call from my doctor's office and the nurse informed me that I had hep C antibodies and she had set me up an appointment with a specialist. I went to see him the next week and he acted like it was no big deal, told me to go get some blood tests and come back in 3 weeks, which is this coming Monday. I checked the CDC web site for symptoms and they say that most people are A-symptomatic but some have flu-like symptoms and some fatigue. I was so fatigued today that I couldn't make myself get ready for work... my nerves are so on edge that I yell at my kids for no reason. I've been trying real hard to just not think about it because I know that will just make any symptoms even more pronounced but it isn't working. Am I the only person who feels really rotten even before starting the treatment? I have read what people say about how they feel during the treatment but nothing about before. Am I turning into a monster or did other people feel like this?

Thanks for any input..]]> feellikeagrump Welcome Wagon Mon, 17 May 2010 22:27:11 -0700
