Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 ~~ Wow...is it good to hear from you. Been thinking about you and said a prayer for you yesterday. How's it going? Any progress with the docs, tests, etc.? Thanks for the tip about tea tree oil. I had forgotten out it -- knew about it years ago and used to sell it. It is kinda of a wonder healer for cuts, etc. too Look forward to hearing from you, Pearson wrote: I'm sorry, I am not real familiar with this thread, and don't know what the cause is for the itchy scalp, however, my granddaughter ALWAYS has that issue, very dry skin on her scalp, and my daughter, who is a hairdresser, has me use tea tree oil on it, about once a month or so, I put it all over the scalp, leave it on for a while, and then wash it off, along with any dead, dry skin, and it no longer itches.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Been dealing with other issues before treatment. I am having my liver biopsy next week, though. However, my liver doctor had referred me into their bariatric program, which I think is probably a good idea prior to treatment. And I know it will make me a happier person. I am in a support group for people in my area who have had or are having this treatment, and I am really inspired when I see their success. No, it won't get rid of my hepatitis, but it will make me healthier and hopefully my treatment will be more successful. It takes at least six months to get to the point of the surgery, and you are required to make some life changes, and I have been exercising for 20 to 30 minutes generally five times a week. I am feeling better, more flexibility, and less of my arthritis pain, in spite of the fact that I am taking NOTHING for my arthritis." B." wrote: ~~ Wow...is it good to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 , I think you’re doing great. First things first. For some that means dealing with other things before starting tx. Danne will be a good resource/support for you. That’s great news on feeling better without the arthritis meds. Keep up the good work. Hugs, RE: Itchy Scalp - Been dealing with other issues before treatment. I am having my liver biopsy next week, though.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thank you. And I have to, if I want to live. At 54 I am realizing how many years I have spent taking care of the needs of others and ignored my own, and it is time to reclaim myself. Plus, none of us knows how much time we have left, but I sure want at least some of it to be memorable. " B." wrote: Glad to hear that you are moving forward.
