Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi, I'm new too! I can't help because up to a few weeks ago I hadn't even heard of Hep-C never mind thinking I would have it. From what I have found out so far...we are not alone in this battle. And I hope that someday the suffering will stop. I still don't even know what stage I'm in but I know that having a compassionate ear helps and that is what we all need. My heart is open and the energy of love is my medicine, it may not heal the body but it does heal the soul.<br>~PEACE and LOVE~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Could be other medical reasons for her continued illness. She could have Thyroid troubles, or diabetes, or Lupis, or Fybro. She doesn't say. Not everything is attributed to the hepC but it does attach the immune system.<br><br>She is apparently not going to the right doctor. I'd take myself to the nearest and BEST University Medical Hospital and find out what is really going on. <br><br>With as little liver damage as she says she has, there is no reason to really attribute all this to her HepC. Something else is definitely going on there.<br><br>LeighAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 It's very good advice to see another doctor,a second and even a third opinion may shed some new ideas for treatment,,also a good support group could help,it's always nice to talk with someone who is going thru much the same as we are,many health providers encourage such groups,couldn't hurt to ask hers,maybe find one in her community,we seem to have a good group here if she's interested...not everything is perfect,but we question the things we don't understand and get many opinions to think on,and thats ok<br>Most important is a good relationship with your health care providers,it takes all parties to communicate with each other.this is a fight for life we do one day at a time<br>smile Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Don't kid yourself. An undetected reading does not mean that the virus is GONE. NO test goes to zero. HCV can hide in the thyroid, the liver itself and other organs. <br><br>Many of her complaints sound like other problems as well and the tx could have caused them. Her dr's need to look into it further. Just blaming it on tx is not enough. Nor is it always correct.<br><br>LeighAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
