Questions, Questions, Questions!!!

January 17, 2008

HI Everyone, Okay this is gonna be a long post, but you all told me

to bring on my questions - so here we go. I found out Aug 06 that I

have HEP C. As everyone, first question is HOW. Well, after many

questions from my doctor,he says I got in 1957 through a blood

transfustion. 48 yrs before I notice???? Prior to getting tested, I

had been having problems for a good year. Headaches, terrible

fatigue, memory loss, bad vision, panic attack. Doctor tested me

said I was postive and that's why I was having those problems.

Moving up to now Jan 08 - have not started treatement - liver CT is

clean - liver blood work has been normal. I have had to stop

working as I can longer concentrete for any period of time. I get

terribly tired in the afternoons. Vision getting worse. Absolutely

cannot drive at night because of vision and tendency to have panic

attacks. Okay, so my doctor recently retired and had to get a new

doctor. Went to see him last week - he tells me that my fatigue,

vision problems, etc ARE NOT because of the HEP C that there is

something else wrong. Yet, all the doctors (3) that I had seen since

Aug 06 say these are all side effects of HEP C. So my questions are

is anyone else on the board experiencing what I am? I don't know

what to think anymore.

Have you found you cannot work

Have you found that has affected your teeth

Have you found you have loss interest in things you used to enjoy

Have you found that you maybe depressed or personality has changed

Has your vision changed

Do you ever feel disoriented or displaced (if you will)

Do you feel like you could sleep, sleep sleep

Do you have any problems with your legs?

Well, I think that's enough for now. I am sure I will remember more

that I have to ask- but right now that's all I can think of. Thank

you so much for letting me post a STORY and thanks to all for

listening.

Sherry
