Genotypes...Vaccines... ALT's , AST's..THE GOOD the BAD and the just plain UGLY!

December 4, 2008

First time was told my genotype was 2. Got back labs today and they

say genotype is 3a. I have to read more about the GT's but was

wondering what others in the group are? Also Alphafetoprotein tumor

marker was 5.5 with " reference range " <6.1 ( what the heck? ) My ALT

is 40 and AST is 45. In April 07 these were ALT 69 & AST 44. In

October 07 ALT 69 & AST 42. December 07 ALT 56 & AST 28. Don't

understand what all the jumping around is and just read that these

numbers are really not good indicators of liver's health anyway.

So...HOW ARE ANY OF US SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS CRAP REALLY

MEANS IF NONE OF IT REALLY MEANS ANYTHING AND THE MEDICAL PEOPLE WHO

PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT IT ALL MEANS AND EVEN IF THEY KNEW WHAT IT MEANS

IT DOESN'T MEAN WHAT THEY SAY !!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it matters even what any of it means! About the only

thing I am sure of is when your body starts falling apart then they

can try to tape it back up, inject it out , insert it in , cut it

apart, I don't think I even care anymore to even try to figure it all

out. I am going to the Health Department ( which is where the dam*

gastro. doc said to go to get the vaccines for A & B which btw I was

a " reactive " to Hep B which SUPPOSEDLY means I was exposed to it but

don't have it and BLAH< BLAH > BLAH <! I SINCERELY do want to hand it

to all you folks who DO know what all of this is supposed to mean and

the research and time and effort and all it's taken on your parts. AS

FOR ME...I'm gonna take some supplements ( the days of HERB are long

over, *sigh*) drink more water, try to eat healthier and may the Hep

C be damned. I'm not devoting the rest of my life dealing with this S

(%^$ eating disease that has no real answers to it because there are

no real questions to it. IT IS WHAT IT IS......NOW, I'M DONE

BELLYACHING. Hey Don, betcha didn't know I could out whine ya

huh?...Somebody?...please pass the cheese !
