Hi All, One week to go before starting treatment. I am getting abit

nervous. I forgot to mention that I started on an anti-deppressent

three weeks ago, and I feel so much better. I am not as down in the

dumps as I was before starting on them. Thanks for the tips, and I

will keep you posted with my treatment. I hope you are all doing ok,

and god bless...................

So far the waiting to start treatment has been the worst side effect

for me. I thought I would lose my mind PLUS no one was willing to

write a script for it until I was pre-qualified for a liver

transplant. Guess they were afraid I would go into liver failure the

first week Well its been 3 months and a ZERO viral load since week

3. Hope this continues!!!! I had to wait 6 agonizing months before

they would start me.

During this waiting period I went into a frenzy cleaning, organizing

and hoping for the best but planning for the worst. I also spent days

on the computer researching every single lab report and test I had

and learned how to read them and get the reports even before the

Doctors had them. Most are available in 24 hours but there are a few

that take longer. I made a index binder of CT Scans, blood work etc.

I cannot tell you how important this is! Fighting with insurance and

basically getting ready and making folders of information to hand

over to my husband when I got so sick I could not handle it. By the

time I had done all this I got the call to start the medication.

Well here I am End Stage liver disease, 54 years old and on treatment

and so far I have all my Doctors scratching their heads in amazement.

I tell them is all about diet, no smoking, drinking etc that I am

doing so well but the just cannot grasp anything but drugs healing

the body. To me foods heal far better than the drugs but you do need

both
