Guest guest Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hello Deborah,this is really freaky, the similar scenario, for me it is buster bar, thank goodness there is not a DQ close to my house.My daughter was over for dinner last night, I sent her home with a big bag of tomatoes and basil.I never had an ultrasound of my liver, I went for the biopsy right after diagnosis. I would really suggest that you do also. It actually made me feel quite better. They label from 0 to 6 in different categories,like inflammation, scarring etc. for the overall condition of your liver. My numbers were 0 or 1 in all categories. It would be a good point of reference for you in the future. If the numbers start to change then maybe I will have to revisit my thinking on treatment.Maybe my next test will be another biopsy ,just for accuracy,and if the numbers are still good then switch to ct scan. Go for the best if you can. There may be a time when my insurance changes and then I might have to compromise. I actually am having oatmeal for breakfast this morning, not a big fan but everyone raves about the benefits so I " ll give it a go. speaking of going..... bye,  ________________________________ From: deborah brown <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Hepatitis C Cc: deborah kay mand <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Sent: Thu, July 22, 2010 10:11:42 PM Subject: Re: newbe  lol,good girl,drink it all up thats funny because i also hate water,i cant drink it without lemon.i fill a big ball mason jar and drink it all up in a period of about 45 minutes first thing when i get up.im at war with a few wrinkles so water is great for that i have a garden too,and i do thee exact same,we share with our neighbors,i feel good doing that and we always have way to many tomatoes. i eat tomatoes everyday in the summer,great cancer fighters. i break down and eat my milkyway or hersheys with almonds, we need that,lol. i heard that icecream was bad bad bad but last yr i just had these almost everynite cravings for it well then i cut it out for about a month and then went to dairy queen and got a strawberry fudge sundae,i felt sicker than sick after i ate it,so i havent done that for awhile.  im glad you are feeling good.yeah i had an altrasound on my liver a few months ago and they said it all looked good BUT that doesnt mean deep inside where they cant see that there could be damage starting,im fully aware that a biopsy is the better way to go but i feel theres no need right now to worry about it because ive chosen not to do the treatment.my immune system is also very strong,i havent had a cold in yrs,ive never had the flu of any sort.so i guess im lucky there. ok,i just got home from work so i gotta get my feet up,i think i have a spur in my left heel,ouch,lol.you have a fantastic wk-end,hugs From: maria rudloff <mariafrancesr@...> Subject: newbe Hepatitis C Cc: Hepatitis C Date: Monday, July 19, 2010, 9:30 PM     HELLO EVERYONE;I am overwhelmed at the response of the postings. I am really new to this and maybe I have not even accepted that I have hep C. I was quite naive about the severity of it all, and a little imbarassed to say that I have been relatively symptom free until recently. I have decided to not have treatment but maybe it is going to be time to reconsider. I guess I have been just burying my head in the sand.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 , there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, when, how or where you contracted this disease, it is what it is. What makes me really upset is what the doctors are prescribing doesn't work for many people, particularly with genotype A. I've been taking a combination of natural supplements for about six months. Can't tell if they are working as I don't feel any better or worse. Maybe next round of blood will have some answers. When the doctors prescribe a treatment that costs $5900/month, how in the world can the pharmaceutical companies don't seem to care if the treatment works or and they don't offer anything else. Keep your faith, drink lot of water. god bless, and you aren't alone. Jackie  ________________________________ From: maria rudloff <mariafrancesr@...> Hepatitis C Sent: Sat, July 31, 2010 10:41:23 AM Subject: Re: newbe  hi nilda, i share your opinion on privacy. believe me, i live for my family. to me all others are strangers and there is no question who comes first. i have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren for now. i think there will be one more and that is all. makes a lot of shopping for christmas.... i keep saying that i will cut back but maybe this year. have a good weekend/ ________________________________ From: Nindy <nindy327@...> Hepatitis C Cc: deborah brown <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 9:09:46 AM Subject: Re: newbe  Hello!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 , there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, when, how or where you contracted this disease, it is what it is. What makes me really upset is what the doctors are prescribing doesn't work for many people, particularly with genotype A. I've been taking a combination of natural supplements for about six months. Can't tell if they are working as I don't feel any better or worse. Maybe next round of blood will have some answers. When the doctors prescribe a treatment that costs $5900/month, how in the world can the pharmaceutical companies don't seem to care if the treatment works or and they don't offer anything else. Keep your faith, drink lot of water. god bless, and you aren't alone. Jackie  ________________________________ From: maria rudloff <mariafrancesr@...> Hepatitis C Sent: Sat, July 31, 2010 10:41:23 AM Subject: Re: newbe  hi nilda, i share your opinion on privacy. believe me, i live for my family. to me all others are strangers and there is no question who comes first. i have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren for now. i think there will be one more and that is all. makes a lot of shopping for christmas.... i keep saying that i will cut back but maybe this year. have a good weekend/ ________________________________ From: Nindy <nindy327@...> Hepatitis C Cc: deborah brown <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 9:09:46 AM Subject: Re: newbe  Hello!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi all , I hear the frustration and feel it too. I have genotype 1a/b and spent a lovely weekend of severe diarrhea vomiting and had to get iv fluids. They did some tests says it is related to the hep C and everything is viral. Funny because all my students got food poisoning at the local wendy’s before we went to clinical everyone was sick. Yet. It is all viral. My white count was ok. So I guess it hit me harder than the kids. I am just weak as hell and I have to head back to work tomorrow because I am pretty much the supporter of our family. I would rather be hit by a bus and call it a day lol. Anyway I guess I will get my negative butt back in bed and hope for the best and that the screaming sshhhh leave me alone tomorrow at least long enough to get thru work.

Keep your faith, drink lot of water. god bless, and you aren't alone.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Deb, WE have been on the road for 4 days and I have had fast food so that is what is wrong. I know it. Today I did not eat the crap the others did and I am better still have 2 students sick. They don’t have hep C but we all got nasty bug somewhere. I am better just still weak and so shaky I don’t know why this but it will take more than a dragon to get me down, I am to mean to die!!!

From: Haj <emily_sweethang@... <mailto:emily_sweethang%40sbcglobal.net> > Subject: RE: newbe Hepatitis C <mailto:Hepatitis C%40> Date: Sunday, August 1, 2010, 8:16 PM Hi all , I hear the frustration and feel it too. I have genotype 1a/b and spent a lovely weekend of severe diarrhea vomiting and had to get iv fluids. They did some tests says it is related to the hep C and everything is viral. Funny because all my students got food poisoning at the local wendy’s before we went to clinical everyone was sick. Yet. It is all viral. My white count was ok. So I guess it hit me harder than the kids. I am just weak as hell and I have to head back to work tomorrow because I am pretty much the supporter of our family. I would rather be hit by a bus and call it a day lol. Anyway I guess I will get my negative butt back in bed and hope for the best and that the screaming sshhhh leave me alone tomorrow at least long enough to get thru work. Hugs to all, Em From: Hepatitis C <mailto:Hepatitis C%40> [mailto:Hepatitis C <mailto:Hepatitis C%40> ] On Behalf Of Jackie Ware Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 10:07 AM Hepatitis C <mailto:Hepatitis C%40> Subject: Re: newbe , there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, when, how or where you contracted this disease, it is what it is. What makes me really upset is what the doctors are prescribing doesn't work for many people, particularly with genotype A. I've been taking a combination of natural supplements for about six months. Can't tell if they are working as I don't feel any better or worse. Maybe next round of blood will have some answers. When the doctors prescribe a treatment that costs $5900/month, how in the world can the pharmaceutical companies don't seem to care if the treatment works or and they don't offer anything else.
