Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 I know exactly how you feel being a Mother myself I have often wished I could take my children's sickness away..It breaks our hearts to see them go through any type of pain be it either physically or emotionally.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Dave glad to hear you're feeling better today..I guess the rest you got yesterday helped a little huh? Maybe you were a little run down with all you got going on right now..We seem to forget at times we just can't do like we use to..I know I can't and when I push myself I pay for it for days later..

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi Diane It is always good to hear from you. I to have not been at the computer as much lately. I have been working on my truck to get it back in driving condition. All I have to do now is get tires, insurance, inspection sticker, and license plates. Hope to be online more in the future.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I hear you Terry. Due to " cost containment " we have lost 4 people, down to 11 from 15 and carry about the same workload. It makes it tough when somebody is gone. I'm feeling a lot better today, so I expect I'll try to go in a little early. -dz- --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > DZ I know how is to not feel well & feel obligated > to go into work.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Well, with me it's either the frying pan or the fire. That's what keeps me on my toes. We have fun teasing each other.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I believe she meant better.. Nobody will tell you it's a picnic, but its doable. It varies from one person to the next how your body adjusts to the medication. Some people can't take it, but most of us manage. I found it very difficult in the beginning, but found it manageable after a couple of weeks getting used to it. -dz- --- Machelle <catkrazy@...> wrote: > " ...This treatment will be nothing compared to what > you have been thru....

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hey, I read this article one time interviewing this guy who was 116 years old. They asked him what he attributed his long life to and he said " I never smoked or drank to excess, and I never called a man a liar to his face.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 LOL Terry, don't feel bad, our messaging gets kind of convoluted at times. Just remember to blame the hcv " brain fog " . -dz- I was talking about programs I have read about that will help people get treatment who can't afford it. I don't know what the qualifications are, or if it is only for people with no insurance at all, but if you really have a financial hardship that would prevent you from being able to be treated it would be worth looking into. I'll research it a little bit and see if I can find anymore info. --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > Sorry Machelle, I don't remember what you told Jan. > I > thank I was talking about DZ's E-mail > Terry > --- Machelle <catkrazy@...> wrote: > > I think I'm confused... are you talking about the > > information I gave to Jan? > > > > [ ] (unknown) > > > > > > Good morning Machelle.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I know it's tough. I have to admit that many days during treatment, even though I was there, they only got about a half a day's work out of me, but I just give it my best shot.. -dz- --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > Diane.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 If you've been through chemo, then you know what to expect. I believe that we use the same medication (interferon), but with smaller doses for a longer period of time. I lost some hair, I think I noticed it myself more than anyone else did. My hair got thinner, though I didn't get any bald spots. We have all lost some weight as well. You'll do fine. -dz- --- Machelle <catkrazy@...> wrote: > Then it should be a piece of cake.
