If there is a positive response the treatment will go on for 48 weeks. The doc (he is generally considered one of, if not the, foremost doc in this field in the South) has stated I have an 18% chance of success. If this treatment does not work the next step would Infergen and ribavarin. That would be one injection daily and the 6 capsules for 12-18 months.

We did discuss going directly to Infergen but we both agreed that as the last treatment caused me such bad side effects it would

be better to get my body adjusted to the Interferon with the Pegasys. I'm not sure yet when I will start, The doctor's office has faxed the prescription to my drug company and it depends on when I receive the shipment. It will be either a Friday or Saturday in the coming weeks. Allan with 2 L's off to the races Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.

Of course you can ask for prayers,,,,I've always believed in God, bu thought I didn't need to talk to him/her because HE knew ll, and what was going on in my head better than me!! I Will pray, for you and your family, not that a miracle happens and she is clear, but that no matter what happens that everyone can be strong...there will be more days ahead. While this important (the results), they are designed to help and not hinder. Now y'all will know what's what, so to speak, and THEN be a to do the best things for your daughter and your family.. It's a stepping stone to the future ... a tool....what is.. is. Love a hugzzzzzz, Deliman debi_inaustin <debi_inaustin@...> wrote: One question I keep forgetting to ask.

OH yeah!!! I forgot...hah! imagine that!! Montel says he sponsers a program that last year gave out 7 Billion dollars worth of drugs. I may have misunderstood... but I think he used the "B" word hehehe. The number is 1-888-4PPA NOW. I remembered that!!!!!!! I'm goimg to call them and see what's up tomorrow... If possible, Have your daughter ask what drugs she will be prescribed, so ya' know what to tell 'em at the place that disperses them. Doesn't Medicaid pay 100% for drugs?? and make food stamps available? It's state run I believe,, so each state is different maybe..

Medicaid pays for lots but does have a cap on it or at least that's my

understanding. I'm sure I'm going to learn lots soon.

Let me know if you have information for the number.

Thanks all..ds

Not in Austin, the number, but you can call S/S office in Austin and they will have it, OR... try the phone book and I promise your local pharmacy has it...

I told my daughter to take a pad and pencil to the doctor. Write her

questions before she got there and the answers.. but do kids listen to

their mother...? The doctor told her not to worry about stages or

numbers, it wouldn't mean much to her at this point.(DOCTORS!!) He

said she was somewhere in the middle. Not sure what that means. He

gave her a packet on the treatment. Something about premeasured

injections. I know little more than I did this morning except it's not

the worst it could be. I'm sure I'll ask more later tonight (after I

talk to her again) or tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone!

[Guest guest]

In the middle is good...... It sounds like she's going on TX, probably Interferon w/Pegasus, and Bavarian pill(s) chaser! The shots are a breeze, as far as administering to ones self...especially pre-measured.... I'm sure you heard about the sides, wondering if the sides will happen, but may not happen. It's like walking in a in a winter wonderland at first...wondering how you'll react. I had one day in five weeks that I had the flu, but after showering and having breakfast...I was fine. Then I got Staph Infection, in five weeks, most likely my body wasn't strong enough to fight it. TX does take a toll on you ...ying

and yang. We waited three months tried it again, and the exact same thing happened. I think I may be more susceptible than others when it comes to hallucinating, OR they don't mention it much. What I perceived to see, was a long ways from being in a boat on a river,with tangerine skies, and a girl with kaleidoscope eyes!!!! Be happy.... and it IS a good idea to know what genotype,stage,ammonia levels, etc...she has. I'm not a doctor though.....

Del, are you saying you really hallucinated?

[Guest guest]

Yes...I am... and I did.... it may have been the combination of all those drugs I was taking, and the tx tweaked my brain just enough ....I don't know... Sorry, but I can't find my introduction brochures... I was taking three drugs that were designed to help sleep, and act as mood enhancers plus a bunch more...I'll get back to uou momentarily..

Hi Deanna, What good news!!! You lucky girl, my doctors won't let me try tx again, I guess that's the difference between cirrhosis & ESLD. Damn it. Tx didn't work twice for me there's no reason it shouldn't have been the same a third time. I am glad for you though, you give that dragon the biggest fight of it's life, you hear? Have you named your dragon? It seemed easier to me to fight something I could call by name so I named mine Barry as in I'm gonna bury you. Keep us up to date k?

[Guest guest]

Hi linda Well 'some' docs are calling SVR a cure but we know that currently there is no real cure, only remission. If your daughter reaches SVR ( sustained Viral response, which means no viral load) she will prevent further damage to her liver and thats the goal of treatment. Her liver can and will regenerate itself once she stops the damage and inflammation. You will get differring opinions about cure vs remission at this stage of the game I dont think anyone really knows 'for sure'.... but once she reaches SVR she must still take good care of herself so that she wont relapse. I know of one gal who was in remission 10 years and went on a 4-6 month alcohol bender and she relapsed... went back on treatment again, put it back in remission and is now 2 years SVR again.. but just because she was able to put it back in remission does not mean that everyone can or does, and some docs wont treat again if you relapse especially due to

drinking alcohol. I hope I've answered your question. If not, let me know and Ill try again. Im sure that many others will be by and will give more input to your question too... jaxlinda schatz <conn_ie40@...> wrote: SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET BACK BEEN BUSY.MY DAUGHTER IS ONLY 20 AND ONLY HAS TO DO THE 6 MONTH TREATMENT AS WE FOUND OUT VERY EARLY ABOUT HER CONTRACTING THE HEP.C .

“Non-Pharmacological

Treatment

Of Neuropathic Pain”

Carolyn McMakin, D.C.

Tonight at the MAC. She promotes the

use of the glove with micro-current. I’m sure many on list are

familiar with the use but I have never personally utilized.

Does anyone know about a treatment using gloves that provide

a stimulation to injured muscles? If so, could you let me know what it's

called, if it's effective and approximately how much the unit costs?

Thanks!

It is a VERY viable effective modality ..... we use it everyday in this clinic.
