Being critically ill is a great reason to start treatment for hepatitis c. Ironically, so is NOT being critically ill. If you are very ill with hep c, you obviously need to either save your liver ASAP, or find a new liver. And if you can save your liver, you need to, because the number of people who NEED donor livers outnumbers the number of AVAILABLE livers many times over. Thousands and thousands of people die in the US alone waiting for donor livers. Don't become one of them. But if you aren't that sick, consider this: The sooner you start treatment after contracting hep c, the better your chances of clearing the virus. This has to do with many things, but largely with the fact that as hep c replicates and damages the liver, it creates abnormally structured scar tissue in which the virus can "hide" from interferon/ antiviral medications. The less damaged your liver is, the easier it is to get rid of these nasty little &%4(a)ers. Here's a video (posted previously) about someone who, like yourself, had a genotype requiring only 24 weeks of treatment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYMTmCoGtoo
