didn't think to ask whether or not it would be reversible if it did,

depression - which I'm aware of. I explained that I just started a

should be able to work through the treatment and if that were not the

case, he would discontinue the treatment. I guess I'm just very

apprehensive about the whole treatment issue and need some time to get

used to the idea.

Wow - that concerns me about the tx triggering the RA. I see my rheumatologist in 2 weeks and will discuss it with him.

As far as stopping tx if I have a problem working, it's possible that it was the doctor's way of telling me that I won't have a problem in his opinion. He was trying to emphasize that I will be able to work through tx. He mentioned "low dose" interferon - is there such a thing for genotype 2?

..

[Guest guest]

wow, well there is NO WAY he can tell you that you will be able to work all through tx, everyone reacts differently, I worked fine until week 10 or 12, I cant remember now, but there was no way I could continue. Low dose INF is for maintenance.. thats not for the kind of treatment you need to get rid of the virus.. Please ask him again about this before you start tx and ask HIM WHAT HE WILL DO FOR YOU TO TREAT THE SIDE EFFECTS... jaxDorothy <dorv@...> wrote: Wow - that concerns me about the tx triggering the RA.

[Guest guest]

Before I agree to any treatment, I intend to discuss this with my rheumatologist & neurologist at some length. Then I will see the hepatologist again with a list of questions and concerns. That's why I like getting the input from everyone on this list who's "been there & done that." If I can't work through treatment, there's a good chance that I will decide to postpone tx until perhaps next year.

[Guest guest]

There is no real low dose treatment anymore unless it's just for maintenance . And I know lots of people who worked through treatment with no problem . The only ones I know of who have a big problem during treatment is those who have had the disease for so long that they have allot of damage .

well Liz, that probably explains what happened to me then cuz I had it 23 years when I found out about it.. and I didnt have what I FELT was a hard time on tx,, it was manigible but I couldnt work on the ambulance. that was impossible with the anemia,, couldnt just jump up and run to a call and I had a hard time making critical decisions with the anemia too, I was so afraid that I MIGHT hurt someone... was awful and I was very relieved when I went on long term disability so I could concentrate on finishing my treatment.. love you sister!!!elizabethnv1 <elizabethnv1@...> wrote: There is no real low dose treatment anymore unless it's just for maintenance .

Hi Dorothy Im glad we could offer 'some' insight to treatment. I think its a really good thing to discuss all of this with your docs. If you have little damage, you do have the luxury of waiting for a better time to treat or better treatment to come out. What would happen if you got to where you couldnt work? Is there someone else who could help you? jaxDorothy <dorv@...> wrote: Before I agree to any treatment, I intend to discuss this with my

My ideal plan is to be secure in either this new job or another so that I would be in a position to collect disability. Before I was laid off from a large corporation, I paid for long term disability. That would have paid me 2/3 of my salary tax free. State disability which runs 26 weeks is only $170 a week & is taxable - certainly not enough to cover living expenses. My new job is with a very new company and part of my job is to look into benefit plans - so you can be sure that LTD will be included.

Hi Gretchen,

Why is it a mystery that your son,at 13, would still

be getting sick???

My mom was diagnosed with FMF 6 years ago. She was

sick for 2-3 days a week, from the time she was an

infant, all the way into her late 20's. And she still

has very mild, short episodes, about every 10 years or

so. Our son was tested for FMF,but came back neg. We

thought for sure that because his grandmother has FMF,

that is what he would be diagnosed with too. It seems

I read...that he could still have FMF even though he

tested neg. He does not have the sever stomache pain

that my mom had. She said it was so bad that it would

hurt just to drink water and would double over to walk

s symptons really fit much more than FMF.

It's a mystery I guess if the FMF comes back negative, because I feel like if he

has he should have outgrown it by now. He sounds like he has FMF to me at

times with his joint pain and stomach but not all the time. Maybe that was the

wrong thing to say? I just get to worrying so much it brings me to tears like

today...... is over his fever today. I just hate these bad months and

winter is coming and it rains sooooo much here I am kinda a little worried about

that too, for me and . Getting the winter blues, that is. I should plan a

trip to sunny California for mid winter break? Anyways, thanks for listening.

Talk to you later, Gretchen

Thank you Cheri. I am praying for you and too, actually all of our

families here. had a real bad winter also. I do feel the support it just

doesn't always stay with me month to month, if you know what I mean? I wish I

could meet and see live people who are going through this. I do have 5 sisters

and 1 brother but it's not the same. For them to even know is fevering I

have to call and tell them. Why would I want to do that every month? They are a

great family but they still can't understand what we go through and they still

wounder why is still sick, like we have to be missing something. I think

I'm tired and need some sleep.....back to work and School. We have 3 kids in 3

different Schools this year. yikes! I'm am so grateful I can stay home so I can

juggle all the different schedules. I will talk to you soon. Where should

email ? Thank you Cheri, Gretchen

did he give you a subtype A or B ?

le,

I know what you mean. I was hoping for an " easier " geno too, and got

1b, with 4.3 mil viral load. C'est la vie.

Next step, at least for me, was to get a biopsy and get the damages

assessed. It turned out to be not so bad...mild inflammation, mild

fibrosis. Hope to start tx soon, now that I will have some decent

insurance!

Are you going to have a liver biopsy? It's not bad...at least mine

wasn't. Thsi group will help tremendously...check out the archives,

lots of good stuff from past discussions in there!

Thanks for the response,

Saw the inf. disease doc today and I feel pretty comfortable with

her. She treats lots of Hep C patients and was very open and non-

judgemental.

She is working on getting me scheduled for the liver biopsy, I have

to get my ultrasound scheduled and I have additional pre-tx bloodwork

to do tomorrow. I have a heavy duty clinical rotation starting next

week, so she sees no harm in delaying treatment 3 months until I have

a lighter load, followed by a summer break. Tx protocol is Peg-

Interferon with the Ribiviron.

My mother wants to come stay with me for the first week or so of Tx.

She's been great. My brother is having to consider if he will ever

let me kiss my nephew again, but my guess is he's just enjoying the

attempt to humiliate me a bit. I just told him that most of my high

risk behavior was in my early teens and if he wants to beat up on my

inner child, he's welcome to.... It was the eighties and I had no

boundaries. I've been sober by the grace of the BIG GUY for a long

time now... I don't need anyone's permission to be okay with who I

am TODAY.

So I have my release to return to clinicals, I have a plan and we'll

let the universe take care of the rest.

The suggestion is that I get used to drinking a gallon of water a day

(y'all prepped me for that) and that I start Noni juice (they say

that they have labs that suggest it can be helpful) and I'll start

back on gluc/chond and continue my milk thistle.

Cheers folk!

I am also geno 1a. I cleared the virus very early on, I think it was like 8 wks when I had the blood drawn. It is doable. I also get a lot of prayers from my church. I take the medicine religiously like they told me.

I have low grade something ( 1 on a scale of 1 to 5), but negative for dysplasia, which I believe means no pre-cancerous cells. And I don’t have to re-test in 3 months as originally planned, I get to wait 6, so this is good news. I left the report at the office, so

when I bring it home, I’ll see if any of you ladies know what one of the things they said is. The most important thing is that the conversation with the nurse didn’t tell me the most important thing – it wasn’t until I read the report I insisted she fax that I read the negative for dysplasia part. ALWAYS GET COPIES OF YOUR REPORTS!!!!! Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet!
