Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Guys ~~ This has been a rough week for me, so I haven't felt up to writing responses to any of the emails. I do read them but don't seem to feel well enough to do what's in my head to write. Maybe next week will be better. Had to add another nausea medicine to Zofran...so Hep Doc added Phenergan. Seems to help but makes me really sleepy...but then if I'm nauseaous I don't get a lot done anyway. Will just have to see how it goes. I tried all the remedies suggested before getting the additional prescription, but my old stand-bys let me down. Still unsure about Procrit and anemia status. She did additional blood work today. Since I only have mild disease to liver (stage 1, grade 2) and my iron stain is normal, she advised iron rich foods (had added this week) and iron tablets 3 times a day. However, no one should use iron unless specifically recommended by Hep Doc!!! Hopefully this will do the trick and we can avert the Procrit usage. I found out that Procrit is made from Chinese hamster ovaries...sounds lovely :--))). I also take hormones that are made from horse urine...does this mean I'm going to turn into some strange combination of animal?? Today they also did viral load test so should know in about a week or so whether undectable...that's what they are hoping for to do just the 24 weeks of tx...with a genotype 2 this is very possible. and Janey...glad you're going to get your tx started...the sooner started the sooner done.
