Imogene, that is the way it is with Bre at school. She seems quite

normal and no one would dream she has ocd. But when she walks thru

the door....the monster is unleashed! She wants attention and tells

me every little thing that botherd her that day. Not everyday anymore

though. I had to limit what she said cause I knew it was her ocd

confessing thoughts coming through! I have to admit even though it is

very hard on me, I am glad she holds it together at school!

Relish any good news you ever get! LOL.

Congratulations to you and your family! That's wonderful news!

[Guest guest]

I remember being like that when I was a kid. Most of my OCD symptoms occurred

at home. For some reason, when other people were around, I didn't have to do

certain rituals, or at least as often. Night time was bad for me.

That is great. My 5 yo dd is the same way. School says there is never an

issue. I am glad, but I also think if I were watching her in the class, I could

pick up OCD things that they dont see. KWIM? But at least it isnt disturbing

her in the class or setting her off from the other kids.

glad to hear - I do however think sometimes dd's school is blind or

just lying to us - I hear totally different things and even seen

different than what they say when I've shown up - but I hope it's true

- some good news for you :-) any improvement????

Congrats !!!

A few days ago I got my letter from the SSDI.

It was favorable.

Now I can't wait for payment so I can pay some of these medical bills off.

Anyways, I say to anyone trying to get SSDI especially for migraines, depression and asthma and if you keep after them, it will be approved.

well Pegasys has ONE molecule different than Peg-Intron,, one has the molecule being small and one is larger,, so they both work about the same but I think if one is overweight, the Peg-Intron works better as its the larger molecule and stays in the system longer.. I think the reasons that it is easier today is that the docs are 'starting' to realize that they have to treat the side effects for ppl to be able to finish tx,,, in the early days, they didnt want to treat the side effects and just would either stop your treatment so lots of ppl just sufferred un necessarily,, or ppl stopped because the docs refused to write them better pain meds or procrit and neupo for red and white cells.. its been a trial and error period,, well thats my opinion,,, Jurydoctor@... wrote: In a message dated 4/25/2007 10:57:26 AM Eastern Daylight Time, Hepatitis C writes: was diagnosed with HCV Genotype 3 about a year back.

My doc will not prescribe anything for sides. He thinks the liver is stressed enough. I take no pain pills other than ibuprofen. My family doc gave me a sleeping pill, tho. This doc uses Pegasys and copegas.

When I took treatment from the last gastro, they used peg intron and would give me anything I needed to feel better. The sides from the first round were horrific for me. I was face down on the couch for a month with nausea and vomitting and diahrea. I lost 20 lbs the first month.

This round is not too bad, except I keep getting secondary ailments. I've got a great looking crop of cold sores on my face and in my nose right now and am still re cupping from the bronchitis. arrgghh.

Thank God for my family doc, he does the very best he can to compensate.

honestly, I think docs who wont RX for side effects are doing so in some effort to punish us for having gotten hcv by some "nefarious" lifestyle and they are sitting in judgement and thats wrong and in my eyes is very cruel... YES I know the liver is stressed out but if it means being able to finish tx or not, well then I say they should treat the sides... I would NEVER have been able to finish tx had my doc not treated my sides and IM forever grateful to him for all the help he gave me.. and MY liver was really sick with stage 3-4 with early cirrhosis along with a grade 3 inflammation... HE said there was NO reason to put someone through THAT kind of sickness.. would your doc NOT treat your sides if you were on chemo for cancer??? Man, I'd find a different doc if it were me...

here is neutrophil count:

Neutropenia (1500 < ANC < 2000) — slight risk of infection

Mild neutropenia (1000 < ANC < 1500) — minimal risk of infection

Moderate neutropenia (500 < ANC < 1000) — moderate risk of infection

Severe neutropenia (ANC < 500) — severe risk of infection.

Wow Kerri... I'm glad you finished, but its awful that your Gastro

let you white cells get so low. It shows how important it is for you

to get copies of ALL of your tesy results.

After mine came in my Gasros nurse would call and say something

like " Well your counts are a little low, but continue treatment " ,

then I would read them myself and see where they really were.

I hope you feel better soon.
