Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Ruth, congratulations to your daughter and the whole family. It's such a wonderful feeling to see our kids progress, isn't it? Our daughter is about to break free, both in terms of getting serious with her arts studies and leaving home for good - she is back and forth between our family home and her own newly developing world of independence, sometimes difficult to watch for this mother. But, oh so exciting! Celebrate! Congratulations, Sophie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hi Cheryl, Thanks so much. I hesitated telling everyone because I didn't want to sound like I am bragging, but I wanted people to know that God answered our prayers, of course being 's Mom I am proud of her, today the kids are practicing all day for their next production, and tonight they work on the sets. , our son was so tired from all the extra time put in that he fell asleep before dinner was ready and slept clear through to morning, poor guy. Cheryl, how is Randy's leg doing? I bet he is so ready to have a normal leg again, and you as well, I know it is harder for me to have my family hurt or sick, I worry over them, I'd rather be the one suffering than them. I hope you are having a great weekend in your beautiful countryside.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hey Gayle, gosh it seems like ages since we've talked. I'm so Happy for you, and I'm so glad you got a second opinion. When you first told me what was going on I felt so bad for you. Now you do know that just because everything gonna be ok does'nt mean you can go back to trying to use your husbands eye socket as an outlet! LOL! You be nice to that poor man. like I said I'm so glad you got a 2nd opinion, and your ok! Things arn't so well on this end. I've had so many problems with these side affects, I don't know what to do anymore. I'm tellin ya, it really sucks. It's 10 X worse than it was the last time I talked to you. And the worst part about it is that they can't do nothing for me! I'm covered in what looks just like the Chickenpox. It's all over my arms, back of my neck, hands, between my fingers, on my eyes & now starting to appear on my legs. I can't stop iching. And get this I'm allergic to Antihystamines. I swear, I don't know why I even bother trying to do these TX. I'm still nemic, my eyes are all F____ed up. Sometimes I can see sometimes I can't. My mouth is doing a little bit better, oh crap! I should'nt of said that! I'll damn jinks myself. I don't dare go into the mental & emotional effects & how much worse they've gotton. You know Gayle I just don't understand it, after I went to the Doc. I took that med. for my eyes & kept rinsing my mouth it seemed like I was feeling a little better for about 2 weeks, and than BOOM I woke up one morning & it's " Here we go again " ! I mean this shit will drive someone to Suicide, and thats no joke. It a no win situation for me. If I stop the treatments I'm gonna die. If I continue the sides are gonna kill me, and there is no guarentee that the TX will even work! I just feel real Hopeless & Helpless right now, very lost! Thanks for listening, & again I'm so happy for you! Bare with me I don't mean to complain I'm just real scared & un sure. Take Care, Hope to talk with you soon!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Liz, My name is Tammy, I have found out that I have hep 3 a few months ago. I have been doing so really hard research on the tx and I have decided that I cant live with all the side effects that the tx does to evryone. Just like you said your pretty much damned if you do and damned if you dont. you were talking about the sucide thing, i read in my research they have a very high % of people who do cause they are so depressed and cant deal with all the stress of the tx and post tx side effects. I have decided to wait for a while before I decide to do tx. But, I have heard from Hillbilly Tim that he took a herb called Milk Thistle that my Dr. is looking into. So please do not apologize about you complaining and being scared. That is very natural fotr what you are going through.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hey Tammy, thankyou for tour kind response. Unfortunately I am a 1 A Genotype with stage 2 cirrhosis. So my only chance is these TX. And like I said it's less than a 50% chance that they will work. If I could survive for awhile til they come out with new Medicines I would stop the TX. But I can't, or I should say I'm not willing to take that chance.I can't do that to my family, espeically my children. I just wish there was an easier way, as we all do! I have quite some time to go before my 48 wks. are up. So I just need all the help & support I can get, and whatever I can do to help anyone, I'm always here!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Liz, You are very welcome. Your right we all wish there was a easier way. I am a 3A with little damage. I guess that is suppose to be the good one, cant picture any of this being the good one. I undestand you wanting to fight to have a longer life with your family. My Dr gave me tha example of i could i have choice to either die when I am 90 or die when I am 50 and she also reminded me that I am to young to die at 50. So, I have thought about maybe starting that Milk Thistle if my Dr says I can. I am assuming that she will say no, casue that what everyone to take the tx. But, I am a single mother who really cant afford to be for of work, for any length of time. But, keep your chin up, and have faith in yourself and you will get through this. I will be praying for you and your family through the next 48 weeks. Thanks, for the reasurance of being there for us when we need someone to vent to or whatever.

I should'nt of said that! I'll damn jinks myself. I don't dare go into the mental & emotional effects & how much worse they've gotton. You know Gayle I just don't understand it, after I went to the Doc. I took that med. for my eyes & kept rinsing my mouth it seemed like I was feeling a little better for about 2 weeks, and than BOOM I woke up one morning & it's " Here we go again " ! I mean this shit will drive someone to Suicide, and thats no joke. It a no win situation for me. If I stop the treatments I'm gonna die. If I continue the sides are gonna kill me, and there is no guarentee that the TX will even work! I just feel real Hopeless & Helpless right now, very lost! Thanks for listening, & again I'm so happy for you! Bare with me I don't mean to complain I'm just real scared & un sure. Take Care, Hope to talk with you soon!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 i was 2b and raise my now 3 year old and work't was 2 when started. .blessings with your tx Tammy Ehrlich <xxtuffgirlxx@...> wrote: Liz, You are very welcome. Your right we all wish there was a easier way. I am a 3A with little damage. I guess that is suppose to be the good one, cant picture any of this being the good one. I undestand you wanting to fight to have a longer life with your family. My Dr gave me tha example of i could i have choice to either die when I am 90 or die when I am 50 and she also reminded me that I am to young to die at 50. So, I have thought about maybe starting that Milk Thistle if my Dr says I can. I am assuming that she will say no, casue that what everyone to take the tx. But, I am a single mother who really cant afford to be for of work, for any length of time. But, keep your chin up, and have faith in yourself and you will get through this. I will be praying for you and your family through the next 48 weeks. Thanks, for the reasurance of being there for us when we need someone to vent to or whatever.

And like I said it's less than a 50% chance that they will work. If I could survive for awhile til they come out with new Medicines I would stop the TX. But I can't, or I should say I'm not willing to take that chance.I can't do that to my family, espeically my children. I just wish there was an easier way, as we all do! I have quite some time to go before my 48 wks. are up. So I just need all the help & support I can get, and whatever I can do to help anyone, I'm always here! Thanks again, Tammy Ehrlich <xxtuffgirlxx@...> wrote: Liz, My name is Tammy, I have found out that I have hep 3 a few months ago. I have been doing so really hard research on the tx and I have decided that I cant live with all the side effects that the tx does to evryone. Just like you said your pretty much damned if you do and damned if you dont. you were talking about the sucide thing, i read in my research they have a very high % of people who do cause they are so depressed and cant deal with all the stress of the tx and post tx side effects. I have decided to wait for a while before I decide to do tx. But, I have heard from Hillbilly Tim that he took a herb called Milk Thistle that my Dr. is looking into. So please do not apologize about you complaining and being scared. That is very natural fotr what you are going through. Talk to you soon hopefuly, Tammy elizabeth easterday <queenelizabethann1963@...> wrote: Hey Gayle, gosh it seems like ages since we've talked. I'm so Happy for you, and I'm so glad you got a second opinion. When you first told me what was going on I felt so bad for you. Now you do know that just because everything gonna be ok does'nt mean you can go back to trying to use your husbands eye socket as an outlet! LOL! You be nice to that poor man. like I said I'm so glad you got a 2nd opinion, and your ok! Things arn't so well on this end. I've had so many problems with these side affects, I don't know what to do anymore. I'm tellin ya, it really sucks. It's 10 X worse than it was the last time I talked to you. And the worst part about it is that they can't do nothing for me! I'm covered in what looks just like the Chickenpox. It's all over my arms, back of my neck, hands, between my fingers, on my eyes & now starting to appear on my legs. I can't stop iching. And get this I'm allergic to Antihystamines.
