Sheri, it's so hard not to get stressed out, even with taking a anti depressant,

I have struggles each day, thank the Lord he gets me out of bed and that I can

walk/talk/hear/see and all the other blessings I tend to take for granite. 

Peace, J

Hi everyone,

   I'm going to keep this short cause I am very exhausted. Bloodwork is still

looking good and all is going well as far as the medicine working, I have

learned one major thing in the last couple of days and that is if your tired go

rest especially if your doing the treatments. I took my shot as usual on tuesday

and we ended up having a tornado that evening of course instead of taking

shelter I was getting sick in the bathroom the entire time praying that

everything was going to be fine. I got so worked up over the whole thing that it

totally wore me out and I was still sick wednesday and into thursday really bad,

it ended up that my body couldn't take the stress anymore and shut down. I could

not move anything but my eyes, of course we didn't know what was happening so I

was taken to the hospital and spent the night. Finally after a full night of

sleep, with the help of medicine they gave me I regained the ability to move

around 10am today and was

released to come home just a short time ago with the promise of taking things

slow from now on and not doing anything the next few days. I am feeling better

but like I said just really exhausted so I'm going to rest. So PLEASE don't end

up like I just did, it's a very scary feeling and just go in and rest for a

little bit.

Sheri

Hi Everyone,

First I want say I have been reading all the post from

everyone in the group for a few years and have gotten a tremendous amount of

information and strength from everyone. I have read all the post lately

about the release of this new drug. I first became aware of it roughly 2

years ago. I was waiting on pins and needles for its release 2 years only to

have my hopes dashed by my Doctor, who upon returning from a Hep-C

Conference informed me that its release was being delayed because of all the

skin rashes associated with it. At the same time she delivered one other

bit of information that really upset me......apparently at the Hep-C

Conference several Health Insurance Companies let everyone know that because

of the increased cost ( almost double from the current approved treatment of

Interferon and Rib-O. They expect over $90,000 a year )they would not be

paying for the new treatment UNLESS you are a NON RESPONDER to the current

approved treatment ! So you have at least go thru 12 weeks of the now

approved treatment to see if it will work for you and if not, then they

will pay for treatment for your Hep- C with the newly released drug. I was

in my Doctors just last week for a check up, where I again asked if this was

still the case. My Doctor indicated she had not heard anything to the

contrary.....so I have decided to start treatment with the Interferon so I

will know if I am a candidate for the new treatment or not. I just want you

all to brace yourself for this. My Doctor seemed pretty sure her information

was accurate. Again I want to say how much I appreciate all the information

and support I have gotten from all your post. The board has been really

quiet lately tho, whats going one...? Everyone doing well....?

Blessings,
