Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 I agree. I would not consider treatment without a biopsy. What is your viral load and genotype? What is it that hurts? your liver or your joints?<br><br>alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi Connie....and glad to meet you. I don't remember seeing you post when you joined the list and am sorry if I didn't send a welcome note. Waiting for a transplant has to be very stressful. My brother in law finally finished the pre-testing to be listed in January and died a week after the last test. Course he hadn't made any changes in his life...still drank and we all know what that does with liver disease...especially end stage liver disease. Let us know if there is any thing we can do to help you get through this period. I know you must be going through a lot of stress waiting for that liver to become available for you. Blessings Tatezi results hi everybody, well i saw the gi yesterday it was the firsttime since i started the double-blinded study in non-cirrhotic patients with chronic hcv who are non-responder to prior interferon alfa + ribavirin ,comparing treatment with peg alfa-2a +thymosin alpha or the peg + a placebo . anyway i told him that i felt fine and that i have no side effects from the meds, he smile and said that because your a tuff boy from phily,i smile. on my blood work not to bad alt 41 range 0-40,lymphs-48,range 14-46,mcv-100, range 80-98 ,everything else was in range. what i don't like is my viral load they did two test, no.1, hcv rna by pcr quantitative and it said greater than 850000 , no 2 , 1:100 dilution quan 7461700 in the year 2000 when it was checked last it was 5000000 plus . this blood work was done before i started the study they took blood yesterday and i always wait till next visit to get results.also i was wondering if anybody in the miami area know a dr reddy he is my gi and he came here from there .here is un. of pa.also he is the head of the division of gastroenterology his hole name is K.Rajender Reddy, and for you guy who have trouble sleeping i hope this helped . later charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Dear , I do not know why your friends results have not arrived as yet. Recall that the PTCB board itself posts that the results should be in within 2 weeks or else call the PTCB board directly. Also in this case there are at least two holidays. So the real deadline should be Jan 8th not Jan 6th! I know she will hear something soon. I do not know if id not pass letters are mailed the same day as the passing/certificates are. But that is a good question for PTCB. Also I can say that Todd from PTCB stated that all results were mailed on Dec 23, 02. I think that means pass and no pass results, but you would want to call/ask to verify.. Please read my previous post in regards to why it may be late. Thank you for your post and I do hope that she hears from PTCB soon. Keep us posted. Respectfully, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT F/O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Large amounts of IRON?? wow...I sure wouldn't do that. There are other ways of getting the RBC back up. Iron is not a good idea at all. Try getting some AVEENO lotion. That stuff, I swear, is the BEST lotion I have ever come across and I have tried sooo many I have lost count! It keeps my skin moist all day long and keeps the itching to a bare minimum as well!! Unless you always had dry skin, like I have, most of the side efects will disappear after you are done with treatment. That is FANTASTIC news about your viral load!!!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 [ Unless you always had dry skin, like I have, most of the side efects will disappear after you are done with treatment. ] I've been off treatment now since October 2002... most of the side-effects are gone with the exception of joint and bone aches that seem to have aged me nearly 20 years it seems. I talked to my doctor today about it... she said she was surprised because she'd not come across that too much... her remarks surprised me...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Iva, try the recommended 3.5 tbsp (approx. 70 ml) with warm water. If there is no effect specially for constipations, double the dose. One of our clients did this and it was ok.
