Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 I would love to work from home. Something easy, not stressful, where I make lots of money...... a girl can dream can't she????

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Sondra, I was looking to see if I still had an e-mail about a class action suit that Canada had for Hep C people. Maybe that has something to do with the compensation thing, you think? By the way if you find that work from home job let me know too...lol....we both can dream can't we?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Dear Sondra, I took a leave of absence to do treatment. I felt that any leftover energy would be better spent on my family. I was right! Treatment has been difficult for me. I have had major setbacks because of Hemolytic anemia. I'm glad I made the decision to stop working while doing TX. Unfortunately, I realized in January that I needed to give my notice. I have been out of work since last July and will continue on tx til the end of August. I felt the only fair thing to do was leave my position. It was very hard as I loved my job and had been there for 8 yrs. I filed for dissability , have since been denied and am in the process of appeal with an attorney. I do know some folks have worked. Sides for me have been pretty intense, but everyone is different. You might want to schedule some time off when you begin and then take it from there. My red counts didn't start dropping until 2 & a half weeks into tx. That compounds the fatigue and nausea thing.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 is it hepnet.com that is canadian based? that might have some up to date info on the canadian suits for hep c their legislation has approved the money, but i haven't heard about anyone actually receiving it. you have to have proved contracting hcv within a certain time period when the tainted blood was used, bought from red cross. wow yall I made a whole week! and man, do I feel like I've already died. But one week down! Hopefully each day, each week will become easier as I build up some muscles (muskles as my grandson says). My energy is pretty darn good considering. I get very tired in the afternoons, I'm on my feet all day. What really wears me out is the heat. Even tho the warehouse is a/c'd, it has dock doors and they are still working on stuff, so the ceiling tiles are often open, allowing cold air to escape. If it gets too hot in there, I know I'll be burnt toast! hahaha Well yall have heard of " Texas Toast " haven't ya? Happy Weekend yall!! alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hi there to you too, I assume you are talking about the treatment. (?) Everybody reacts differently because we are unique individuals and our body chemistry is not the same, I guess. Why do some people have allergies, some don't? Some are able to work, others not. A lot may depend on what kind of job, how physically or mentally tough it is. I'm sure there may be a more scientific answer, so maybe someone will be able to give you a more 'defined' answer.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 Dear Sondra, It really is an individual situation. My back is out AGAIN (I'll never learn to be handicapped). I broke one of my own rules and took one of my husband's TYLOX. That didn't even help. So I'm drinking enough to get me some sleep. Not a lot, just enough to take the edge of the pain. Sleep deprivation isn't a good thing for us either. I have to get around the pain somehow. A morphine drip might help. But then I'd be comatose. So I know how everybody feels. The other thing you might want to try for the joint pain is hydrotherapy. I'm allergic to chlorine, but if you aren't, it does help. Good luck, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Matt, In my opinion and I have done the full course at a couple of places and have spoken to many medics.
