Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 , Yes I try and count my bleesings everyday, there is so much to be thankful for. I could hardly cope with the brain fog from the combo but I guess in your case it could be that you've had so many years of treatment that it accumulate. I sincerely hope you beat this disease this time. There is some literature where you cna pick up the disease if you have many partners and not a monomagous one. I don't quite understand that part of it myself. and it seems like possibly if you get the virus from blood and then gets into parts of your mucous membranes it sometimes can be transmitted that way. I think it is so insidious that disease that we may not know all the ways. Then I have heard also that the virus can stay alive for a very long period of time outside the body so it could be you contracted it a number of ways. Good luck with the rest of your treatment .I have forgotten how much longer do you have on the peg? Hope you a have a good day.

Willem- A quote from Dr Gott in his article in today's paper (at least in my area)- 'Thank heavens things have changed. Today's syringes and needles are disposable, so the risk of infection is nil. The possibility of hepatitis, a viral liver inflammation, is likewise eliminated. Only the good lord knows what viruses and microbes survived the old sterlilization process.' Also, in the early 1990's, I remember hearing once or twice on the radio news at work-not on TV!, that the most widely used medical disinfectant was being dropped because it had been found not to kill all known microbes. Could those have been HIV and HCV, both newly identified viruses at the time? Many believe that they were inadvertently infected by medical procedures such as the mass, herd vaccinations in the 50s & 60s, military shots, dental work, invasive medical procedures, etc. The CDC site does say that it is very rarely transmitted by sex, especially if a person is in a monagomous relationship. Another site questioned if the slightly higher infection rate amongst more promiscuous people is really due to sex or the fact that they also had a higher rate of other risk factors. I do know that my husband does not have HCV. If HCV were truly a sexually transmitted disease, this would not be the case, and there are many, many monagamous couple where one has HCV and the other doesn't. It is my opinion that until this virus was identified, how could the medical profession protect the patients from it and so inadvertently infected many. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 I was given the 28 pints of blood was either Nov. or Dec. 1991. I was still in shock and not aware of things. Only thing I remember is them grafting the girl in room with me before me she had only been there a couple days. She was Black and I had thought that maybe skin more fragile, well, thats what I had thought, I found out later why. Was because grease and chemical burns, burn from the inside out, and they wait till it is done. They had given me B along with the C. So I know they weren't checking to hard, smile Take Care, Connie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hi Barbara, Welcome to the group. There are a lot of friendly, wonderful people here who are such a blessing. They are very caring and non-judmental, I hope you like it here. I wish you the best. Marilyn New Member Hi. My name is Barbara, Im 45 and live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am on the list for a liver transplant. I contracted HCV through blood transfusions. This went undiagnosed until when combined with a lifestyle that was typically unhealthy in many ways, contributed to illness and fatique that I finally addressed in 1999. Damage done, cirrhosis (endstage), enlarged spleen-low platlets, fluid retention commonplace and generally feel icky most of the time. LOL On another level.... Life is good, the sun is shining, my husband and dog love me unconditionally. I have a supportive family, good friends, informative doctors and Im not PMSing. heeheehee Look forward to talking again, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hi Barbara, My name is Dana. I am 40, single mother of 1 teenage daughter. I live in the Pocono mountains of PA. I wish you the best with you liver transplant. I cantracted HepC from a not so great lifestyle when I was a teenager. Clean for about 20 years and diagnosed with HepC in 1997. Tried treatment 3 times and failed, waiting for something new. I am really curious about other places and how they handle Medical and HepC. You said your Dr was very informative. I have not found that the case here. If you don't mind, can you tell me how Medical works there and what kind of treatments they have for HepC there? Oh, and living in Canada, what is that like? Is it Very Cold? Sorry, doing all the research I can on other places and how far ahead or behind they are. Starting to think I should move to another place!! God bless you and take care! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that love me unconditionally and make me laugh quite often along with my sweety boyfriend that is very understanding, (Thank God). He had/has cirrhosis 10 years ago and they did some kind of surgery to hold him over for a transplant. Never needed the transplant. They said he had a short time to live and is still alive today with all test coming back normal. And I thank God for that and meeting him. Dana chipsnofries wrote:Hi.
