Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi MAzz, will be thinking of you today at this sad time. Hopefully it is nothing serious with Doug's ear but if it is a burst ear drum which isn't uncommon (it has happened to me twice) it should be ok in a couple of weeks time, I presume he is going to the Dr as soon as he can.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 My little girl (2) was in a wagon with Daddy pulling and she was a pony, but she wouldn't get out. It was too cold.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Jerri. I know the alone thing...it kinda' sucks in the sense that you get tired of tellin' yerself how bad you feel.. haha Seriously, you do want another opinion cause your not feelin' safe about what if you fall asleep and not realize that you need to breath and etc...... The TX did that to me. I'm stage 1 2b with ESLD and on the LIST... I tried tx twice only got to 5 weeks before an infection set's in I'm sorry your hurting...Keep an eye on the temp. and the more water you drink will only go towards promoting a nice, shiny coat and killing fleas....OH! wrong group!! OK.. that was weak... I've given my staff the day off, along with the driver, so I will be here all day, If you wanna' talk mail me....what sre your stats???

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Jerri. Welcome to our family. I’m De. I did treatment (tx) thru 2004. It was harder for me in the beginning and the end and easier in the middle, although I did have some problems throughout. Attitude is everything. There was a point when we talked about stopping because my blood count was going too low and the insurance wouldn’t approve Epogen, but I told the doc I’d come to far to quit, so I had my count checked every week to be sure I was still safe to keep going. I was bound and determined to finish & I did and it has paid off for me so far. I’m almost 2 years clear. What kind of sides are you having and we’ll see what helpful hints we can give you to deal with them. De Hello Hi, My name is Jerri and I am new to this group.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi De, Thanks for the email. I am taking Pegasus (weekly) and Ribaviron (400 mg in am and 600 mg in pm). As far as symptoms go I feel like I have the flu, stuffy head, muscle aches and stomach issues (I can't eat anything except crackers). I also have developed a rash on my elbows. I know that they said that you might get a rash I just didn't think that it would be this soon. Had some anxiety last week and haven't been sleeping. Other than that it is all great:) Worried about being able to work tomorrow. Were you able to continue working? Jerri --- Motley <dmotley@...> wrote: > Hi Jerri. Welcome to our family. I'm De.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi Jerri, I was on tx twice & worked through both times. That was the old tx, I hear the new one isn't as bad but I haven't tried it so I can't say from personal experience. I had a lot of side effects. Spent four months feeling like I had the flu, lost some weight & my sense of smell went weird - perfume that I'd liked before made me gag. My doctor dx'd (diagnosed) me with COPD while I was on tx but it went away when tx stopped. When I checked the list of side effects there was one - lung infiltrates - I guess that's what that was. There were more but I can't remember, it's 10 years ago & my memory doesn't go that far back (if it works at all) Hugs, SuZie Next time I'm coming back as a cat ----- Forwarded Message ----From: jerri neely <all4jerri@...>Hepatitis CSupportGroupForDummies Sent: Sunday, December 3, 2006 8:14:25 PMSubject: RE: Hello Hi De,Thanks for the email.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi Jerri I'm d aka dannegrl I'm 33 and in texas. I an type 1a. I am a 2 time non-responder to treatment. I had alot of side effects from tx but the dr I had didn't know a thing about hep c at all. I would take 2 tylenol before my shot. then my hubby did the shot for me and I would go to bed. I was only able to eat yougart for the first few months of tx. Then my dr said try other cold and creamy foods since they seemed to work good for me. If you are not a big water drinker lots of us here drink CRYSTAL LITE the store brand is great too. oh Jello was another thing I could eat. lol go figure. And still now 2yrs later i love cold creamy foods. While I was a non responder, my husband Mitch was on tx for 52 weeks. He has been undetectable since he was at his 6 month labs on tx. He is coming up on his 3rd year since finishing his pegintron/rebatol.. Honey don't give up. we are all here and It helps to know the things you are going through , we understand. love and welcome djerri neely <all4jerri@...> wrote: Hi Gail,Thanks for the information.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi d, Thanks so much for your email. I am sorry that the treatment didn't work for you but happy for your husband. I am also type 1A. My liver is between stage 2 and 3 right now. I live in San Pedro, CA and am 50 years old (sounds old for some reason today). Guess I should be greatful to have reached this age. Thanks for the tips on what to eat. I will have to stock up before my shot on Friday. I am able to eat a little now. Actually had a sandwich yesterday. Thanks for the support.
