Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 - Welcome to Fantasy World. Yes, this surgery is a fantasy come true. I was 66 when I had the DS. My knees hurt soooo bad. I could stand or walk only short periods. The difference was one of the first things I noticed post-op! Now I go up stairs without puffing, and am very conscious of not needing to stop on a landing - or before someone hears me. Besides, I got rid of high b/p, diabetes II, sleep apnea, arthritis pain, and the equivalent of a whole person! Being a grandma is now twice the fun. Looking forward to meeting you at a Delano mtg. Bobbe - <128 pounds> from 268.5 at DS 3/12/03. Highest weight 285 in '98 <145> Don't postpone joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject: New Kid On The BlockTo: HepatitisCSupportGroupForDummies Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2008, 6:29 PM Hey Everyone,I'm new here to this group and would like to wish everyone a warm hello. I'm a 46 yr old married female diagnosed with Hep C on Jan 15th 2008. I have just completed my 5th week on treatment. Got some side effects slowing me down for the moment. Good thing I started out kinda hyper or I might be at a complete stand still right now! =) Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Injection 6 today! I'm kinda getting used to the brain fade a bit. Still make notes just in case. It's hard concentrating if I have to drive far. The nausea is pretty much gone thanks to my Dr. That's quite the relief there! The fatigue has pretty much gotten worse every week. I don't have the stress of having to go to work right now(Thanks Kraft) So I do what big stuff I can do...usually in the morning...then pretty much wiped out for the day. To get the little things done I just shift into zombie mode and kinda putter around...looks like aimless wandering to some. I'm also one of those non-sleepers. My Doctor wanted to take away my Ambien and I said no way...that's a guaranteed 4 hours right there! =) Peace! Carleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Welcome Carleen, It's good to have a sense of humor! We wish you continued success with your treatment. Keep us informed. I'm on treatment too, a little passed the halfway point on the 48 week plan. Kim T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Patty and I can tell you stories about brain fog! Usually the damage to the car is less than your deductible! LOL Also, when you think you’re lost, don’t panic. Keep going and in a couple minutes you’ll realize where you are. HA, and those Ambien people think their stuff is good for 8 hours! Keep your sense of humor, Carleen. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress.... But then I repeat myself. -Mark Twain Re: New Kid On The Block Injection 6 today!
