Well considering the other treatments I had PegIntron is definitively better.

No vomiting, little nausea, less pain in the body. only one shot a week. Hey

Lizi,

I have a question for you. Did you try other

treatments before Peg? I know the combo is similar to

the Peg. That is why it frightens me. Just wondering

if you tried that first?

Thanks, Dana

Dana, I started just with interferon 3 shots a week. then moved to Rebetron (

combination) pills twice a day and then 3 shots a week. Those two were murder.

The peg is only 1 weekly shots and the pills(rebetol) according to the weight.

The side effects are mild comparing to the others. One thing in common is the

ups and downs. not 2 days are the same and this time I am hit more often with

deppression. But all in all we can handle it. I tried to forget all the other

bad things, but my family also agree that this time is better. Always remember

that the first shot is the worst. Get a lot of support and will to get through

that one and the rest is smooth sailing( a feww hard waves, but overall iOK)

Lizi,

Thank you for responding. I keep getting from the

doctors that since I could not handle the combo and

had hard time with just Interferon, that Peg would be

the same. One doctor told me that too many tials with

Interferon could make me Immune to it. Have you or

anyone else heard of that?? I go to the GI in July

for second opinion. Have been throught the ringer

with different Specialist. Just getting so tired of

the whole mess!!! Requested 3 times for a referal to

go to an Acupunture Doctor. Can you believe I still

have not heard from my MD? I guess I am going to half

to go there in person and raise H... Again just to get

a responce!! Thank you Dana

Documents. Lots of solid facts. Someone capable to review the documents

along side of the laws that govern the area in which the doctors practice.

Everything legal and above reproach, this is critical and must be done.

Jim

How would I go about linking two foreign medical dox

for conspiricy of mal practice ?

Ideas ???

[Guest guest]

No forget that, the documents have already been modified.

The second doc was in cahoots with the first doc , three pharm co salesmen,

and what looked to be a rookie fed , or one of their rejects?.

I called back, and the woman who took care of the records had resigned.

I got out of the conspiracy , before any more damage was done.

I guess its good enough to survive it, if there isnt any documentation.

Thanks ,

[Guest guest]

--Vonnie,

Glad to hear your good news. Yes, as you can see it gets better and

better all the time. As I said in my ealrier post today...I felt

frozen, thawing more and more each day...I also do alot of " kicking

the ham into the middle of the room.. " , I just don;t want to waste a

good bend on picking up things that are just not worth the extreme

effort it takes to do that move....now if it was a ten dollar

bill...I might make the bend to the floor but not for a pound of

ham...I guess you could say " I pick and choose my bends " ...kind of

like battles....Glad you found a car that works..I know how

frustrating that is..when I drive my son's car, 1989 Volvo wagon, I

can;t just jump in it.I must bend down and put my head in first and

glide in..I look so stupid.....I try never to drive his car..but

sometimes I am too lazy to jockey cars around if I want to run to the

store......

Cam, I might call Priscilla to see if I can get permission to do PT

or at least those things you described, I remember doing them after

was born. I am eager to be more flexable..if I could say one

thing that has frustrated me about this surgery it is the restriction

on being flexable..I find it very frustrating.....sometime I find

myself thinkning about the days I could touch my toes, grab soemthing

off the floor without a blink of an eye....but then I remember the

awful scaitic pain and I say " I don't care if I can't pick that

up " ..there are always trade offs, so I guess this is it...., PA

Thanks for the encouragement, Vonnie. You had a long wait between stages,

but look how well you are recovering. I think I might ask for more than the

10 days Dr. Rand says I need.

Congrats on the new car. Doesn't it feel good!

Hi, Andy, see our Menu/files section results. Glad you will be running

experiments on Lyme's, seems we are a bit behind on working with it.

> Hello group. My name is Andy and I am interested in running my own

experiments with the godzilla. I have chronic lyme disease and it is making

old injuries that I have more painfull than they should be. I am planning on

building the 6V unit. I'll be using the pictues to build the godzilla it self.

How exactly do you reverse the poles while using the unit?? I welcome any

pointers the vetrens among you might have. Thanks.

[Guest guest]

Reversing poles just switch the pad positions. With Lyme's there's a story in

our files I think about someone who uses it on sides of body and just moves them

slowly up and down, waiting a few minutes each stop. He swiches positions every

few minutes putting pads in reverse of where they were.

a switch can be used see the group 2, there should be

a switch in one of those photos showing how to wire it. But seems unecessary to

me..test it first see if it even has any effects before investing time in it.

Hi, Crystal. I appreciate your detailed and informative post. I am sorry

for all that you have been through.

Have you thought of locating one of the revision-surgery " names " -- the

doctors we know are not " butchers " -- and going in for a second opinion?

It may, in fact -- as you have been told -- be more problematic to

remove or shorten the rib than to leave it as it is, but at some point

you might want to confirm this with another doctor (other than the

osteopath, who I take it mainly does hands-on physical treatments with

you). As you may know, it is fairly routine to remove a rib or part of

a rib these days when doing flatback revision surgery. Often the rib is

useful as graft tissue for the spinal re-fusion or extended fusion.

Thankfully internal fixation is almost invariably internal in today's

surgeries -- no more cumbersome braces or plaster casts like the ones so

many of us confronted in our youth.

Best,

> I am 53 years old...Harrington Rod in 1976...Pain and more pain my

> During my last session with injections my Doc found that my bottom rib

is 3 times longer than it ought be..He has nevr seen such a thing..This

after 40 years of x-rays and surgeries! The rib of course is exactly

casued for 40 years has been unreal. Removing it is not an option

,Welcome! You've landed in the right spot, just set back and breathe regularly...This is a great group, with folks from just diagnosed to SVR, in treatment, waiting better stuff from Big Pharma or alternative sources, the whole gamut.I was diagnosed with genotype 2b in '08 and treated for 26 weeks. I'm now SVR, and love to stay active with this group as there's lots of folks like you out there just diagnosed and having somewhere between half a dozen to a ton of questions.There's usually someone around, or if you're more comfortable with your own research, Don's built an incredible links library second to none.Again, welcome, don't hesitate to ask that question or just vent, we're all here for you.SteveCLife is much more fun when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. Jimmy Buffett [ ] Hi group

Just want to say hello. New to the group and hep c. Haven't started treatment yet but that should come soon. Hope you can help me with info on symtoms and reactions to treatments. Thanks and appreciate the help.
