Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Tonni Please dont be afraid to pursue ways to improve your health, like trying treatment again with the new drugs or getting a biopsy. Do whatever it takes. Doing nothing is almost a sure way to have future problems that may be alot worse. Thats what I am mostly afraid of, but treatment and biopsys freak me out too. I dont guess theres any easy answer once we go down this road. I wish there was. Another idea is alternative stuff. I have been on hold for treatment for over 2 years now because of my heart. While I wait on the doctors, I do a liver friendly diet and some suppliments, and try to keep my head screwed on correctly. I have a whole list of suppliments, diet, and info in the Links Library. Click this link and scroll down to folders 006 and 007: http://health.dir./group/ /links I was taking sups for 2 years until I fell off the wagon last October, and stopped. My labs were staying in the normal range, and my viral load dropped by 1/3. I go see my GP and do labs next week, so I will see if the sups did help, and if stopping has made a difference for the worse. If my labs are worse, then Im going to go back on them. I probably will anyways, because I think that they do help. They wont cure my HCV, but thats not the idea. The idea is to improve my general health so my body can fight. Several of us have been doing alternative things to maintain. Just a suggestion. Its not all that expensive. I live on 670 a month SSI, and I can afford some. love don in ks now my pain seems a bit different...mine is not topical but inner bone from the butt down and from the elbows down...my hands and feet are always in pain and the more you use tem the more they curl up and don't want to work and then it feels like the muscles and boes are also trying to curl up and almost fear they will break if used...

He can't stand alone, who needs to. He can't speak our language, but is more understood than most. He can melt anger with a smile. He can quiet a loud room without speaking. And he can teach every single one of us that the little things are what are important. He is our gift and we are forever grateful. http://johnathanourgift.synthasite.com/index.php Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (18) Recent Activity: New Members 8 New Links 39 Visit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
