Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 *waves to Ray* Howdy stranger! Fancy meeting you here ;-) Ladies and Gents allow me to intro Ray. He's a lovely, charming and funny gentleman who could really use your advice and wisdom. I know he'll feel right at home here ;-) anne [ ] Hi Folks! Hi, I'm new to this list, just signed up a few days ago. I would say I've been "ghosting" but have hardly gotten around to reading any posts yet. Just one, and it really caught my attention. But first let me introduce myself. My name is Ray, I live in San , CA. I've had Hep C since around 1968. I had a liver biopsy a few months back that shows I have Stage 3+ inflammation, and fibrosis, and possible beginning cirrhosis. I'm a genotype 2, got lucky there! I also have a low viral count, 51,300 when last checked. I have not started treatment yet, that will probably happen next month. The post that caught my eye was from Skowron to Pat, re AIH, night sweats, etc. I have had night sweats for about 2 weeks now, and I mean being really soaking wet. I had an ultrasound with my biopsy and it noted that my bile ducts were dilated. My doctor wanted to get a MRCP (a type of MRI) to determine if I had PSC (Primary sclerosing cholangitis) or not. Unfortunately my insurance refused to pay for it. My doctor said not to worry about it, as I don't really have those symptons (no itching, lots of aches and pains though), and also my Allkaline Phosphatase was in the normal range. I am curious about the other AIH diseases, although no doctor has ever mentioned them to me. I found a web site with some info: http://www.healthology.com/printer_friendlyAR.asp?f=liver_disease & c=aihliver#What%20are%20Autoimmune%20Liver I'll ask my GI doc next time I see him. I am ver happy with this Dr btw, I did a lot of research and he was recommended to me by a RN at Stanford Medical Center, who got recommendations by one of the head doctors in the hepatology center there. So I finally got a good doctor, although my insurance leaves something to be desired. I also have been having fevers since just last Friday. The highest has been 102.5. At first I thought it was due to a new med I started taking Thursday, prescribed by a neurologist for this numbness I've had in my left jaw for about a month. But I spoke to an "on call" doctor today (Sunday) and he said that is highly unlikely. So I'm not to sure what to think of these fevers. I take acetimenophen and that brings it down. I also had tremors during the wee hours this morning. The Tylenol helped with that as well. My white blood cell count was checked last year, 5.5 in the normal range. The only thing with my Platelets that was out of range is my Monocytes, at 14. I'm not even sure what that is. My ALT, AGT and bilirubin levels have been out or range for about 12 years now. I did new lab work a week ago Friday, those should come in this week. About 5 weeks ago I was working, exercising, etc, trying to build myself up to start my Tx. Today I cannot work and really can't do much of anything, due to fatigue, aches and pains, etc. I'm kinda thinking I really need to start my treatment to start killing off this virus, before it does even more damage! Ok, well that's pretty much my story. Thanks for reading all this stuff! Best wishes to all, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
