Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Don, Try not to worry too much about anything new right now hon,, Geno 1b is supposedly one of the hardest genos to treat but I KNOW LOTS of them who have successfully treated. Maybe your new doc has not been really successful in treating your geno's and if that be the case, maybe you should research other docs who may have better results? I dont know. But for now,, what "I WOULD DO" is to just take as good of care of yourself as you can and certainly get some sleep tonite to make up for last nite.. I too didnt sleep last nite due to a medication change but IM hoping tonite Ill sleep much better.. Fatigue can really be a bummer.. Did the doc give you something for the pneumonia? Is is all resolved then? Are you a smoker? I remember when I was a smoker ( 26 years ago this Dec 11, I quit) but I used to get every cold that went around and it always seemed to settle in my chest too.. then after I quit, I got sick 3 times right in a row and then after that, it seemed to clear out my chest and lungs and I've had a couple of colds since then but with the exception of the pneumonia on tx that I got, I havent had a chest cold since... Well rest up hon! jax Subject: my doc visitsTo: Hepatitis_C_Central Date: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 5:12 PM Well..... This morning they took blood for tests, and a general chk-up as I have had pnumonia for the last few weeks. This afternoon the hep doc [Dr. Birt, Bent, something?] discussed hep c with me, options, and told me that at this point I will not be starting tx soon. Maybe because my symptoms are not so bad yet? [lotsa fog, tiredness] I am a geno 1B - 86,009 load. He did say I will be hard to treat. [whatever that means] He made a new appmt for next month when my lab results should all be in, and my med records transfered to his office, from my old doc/hospital. No mention of a liver biopsy. We did discuss diet and symptoms somewhat. I told him I eat whatever is not nailed down, minus sugar/salt/caffeen. Lots of fruit, cheero's. I think I got this all right. My brain doesnt work so good. [its them little blue pills, betcha] So no sleep last nite did me no good at all. Worrying didnt either, but I do have NEW worries now. Arent I having fun? geeeeeze A whole day of hurry up and wait. I hate this. I hope everybody is well today. I love you all. love don in kansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all good. ........yeah, I smoke too much. Nerves. My pnumonia should be gone by xmas. Feeling better every day. Even made it to the doctors today, after 2 missed appmts. That gotta be good. Ive got the best sleeping pills available. They didnt work last nite, but kicked in real good when I got home this afternoon from the docs. lol Solid 5 hrs sleep. Dreamed of oppossums. Weird huh?
