Thanks for making me feel better 'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Subject: Re: Hi All--Retraction of earlier post/Oh egads it feels sooooo goodTo: HepatitisCSupportGroupForDummies Date: Saturday, November 29, 2008, 7:21 PM

to whine and cry and complain to the list Best to get that

negative energy out! You my dear girl are probably among us top 10

sickies here. I have completely eliminated my Ascites and the nodules

on my liver are disappearing Big deal! I still feel like shit and

dang it I am going to complain right up till I get my new liver if it

comes to that. I have other plans so we shall see.

If its at all possible go see a PhD Nutritionist and have a diet

tailored to your specific needs. We are all different but I was able

to control my Ascites with water pills and diet for 10 months Now

that I am on Tx its controlled with a fraction of the medication and

diet. I had that one parecentisis done in December 07 and none since.

my Tx nurse says she will have me completely off the water

pills Hah I'd rather give the credit to my Doctor of Food but who

knows. I DO know the power of fresh unprocessed foods and their

ability to heal a sick body. Its all I ever used my entire life until

I was Diagnosed in 12/07 with HepC. I'd be dead without the drugs now.

> OK...... so after I wrote the other post I opened the letter from

Calif. Pacific Medical Center thinking "OK now what". It was a

survey...LOL. Not a good time so I put it away for now and decided to

take a well deserved nap. While I lay in bed, I thought to myself how

selfish it was for me to write what I had written. Bickering and

whining over little stuff. And on top of that complaining about being

stabilized. I should be thanking all of you for being there for me

and for everyone else when they need it. I figured out that 15 months

ago when the Dr. told me to get my affairs in order and that I had

approx. 6 months unless I got a transplant or a miracle happened,

that I have spent all this time getting tested for this and that and

going through TP evaluation and being denied, that all I have been

doing is "being sick". Yes, it does not change the fact that I ache

and retain water, have enceph etc,.... "I AM STABLE AND HAVE BEEN FOR

3 MONTHS NOW" I

> should be thanking my lucky stars ! No wonder the Psych that I am

finally seeing said I have issues !! LOL LOL. UGH I hate this dragon

and ESLD. Think positive about being well is my new motto!

> Anyways I am sorry for whining when I "know" that some of you are

just having a hard time writing posts, and that some of you are going

through hell with your treatments, and just waiting for the

acceptance to be put on the list or on the list just waiting for a

transplant.

> Anyways I just want to THANK ALL OF YOU for just being in this

group and taking the time to post and to answer posts and be

concerned for one another.

> Love you all !!!!!!
