Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey thanks folks for all the cool responses and phone numbers and stuff. I feel so loved I have been on this group for a long time but during the interferon I was a nut. I am still but not as nutty as I was during interferon. I just saw a recovery buddy from NA at the doctor's office but it is not the same I feel so close to you people cause you really know. And yes I got it from iv drug use I think people forget that nurses are people too. Sometimes coping with everyone sick and dying and all that gets lonely. But I am learning how to process things without drugs or booze hell I dont even smoke anymore. I have to watch my weight which is tough and somedays I feel like hell I have had to give up just about everything I love even some of the foods. But I guess I can thank God I can still have a wild roll in the hay with my husband ( when he is not too exhausted from work) And I am not sleeping lol. which seems like most of the time. anyways hugs to all and smile, laugh and stay positive. love you all, emily RE: Re: I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO > > > > hi dorothy, > > > > what exact health problems do come after having hepc for many > > yrs? ive chosen not to do treatment. found out i have hepc 3 > > months ago and ive had it 14 yrs...just interested in knowing > > what i may be dealing with later in life. im 53 and i figure > > if i live to be 60 im fine with that. so far i have no health > > issues,just depression but ive had that most my adult life,i > > dont take antidepressants, ive actually learned how to " trick " > > my depression when it hits > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Deborah, I looked around regarding high potassium. I would keep an eye on it; repeat the test or look back at previous tests to see if you have a history of it. It seems to be regulated by the kidneys and diuretics. Maybe you should grab your doctor by the ears, get good eye contact and tell him to explain why you don't need to worry about it.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 For Glenn, Deborah and all of us here: I hope all of us our saving our blood test results, as has been posted so many times. Unless you know how to use Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program, it is very difficult to make an accurate graph or flowchart of a particular blood test result, followed over several months. After long searches, I found the following site, which I have used to create and save a " Bar Code " flowchart of my WBC's and Lymphs, though it can be used for any blood test result. The printed graph gives a Doctor an immediate and accurate portrayal of one's condition, and cannot be dismissed as just some b.s. from you, the " layman " patient. Give this a try! It's quite easy to do, just make sure you save it by having it emailed to you: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx > > > > hi glen, hope all is good. hey, i had a few things check during a rotine check up and my potassium level was 5.7 and normal is between 3.5-5.1. doc said its nothing to worry about. what is your take on this,how do you feel about it and is the hep c causing this? or am i just eating to much food with potassium in it...  > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 thanks glen, yeah and you would think that she would tell me what foods i should avoid like what,bananas,yogurt all those that are high in potassium that i WAS eating alot of but she said nothing. shes just my regular doc. i went in to see her about 6 months after i found out i had c,i was tierd and of course still a bit upset over the news and i sat out in the waiting room for almost 45 minutes before they called me in and there was no one out in the waiting room. i was so fraustrated that when the nurse called me to go in and was taking my blood pressure and all,i was so distraut by then,i started crying. i do not like this doctor.shes younger than i and i can feel shes just out for her paycheck. thanks glen!

After long searches, I found the following site, which I have used to create and save a " Bar Code " flowchart of my WBC's and Lymphs, though it can be used for any blood test result. The printed graph gives a Doctor an immediate and accurate portrayal of one's condition, and cannot be dismissed as just some b.s. from you, the " layman " patient. Give this a try! It's quite easy to do, just make sure you save it by having it emailed to you: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx > > > > hi glen, hope all is good. hey, i had a few things check during a rotine check up and my potassium level was 5.7 and normal is between 3.5-5.1. doc said its nothing to worry about. what is your take on this,how do you feel about it and is the hep c causing this? or am i just eating to much food with potassium in it...  > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 glen, exactly how much m.thistle should we take in a day? From: GlennR <grisley6315@...> Subject: Re: I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO Hepatitis C Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 6:25 PM  Deborah, I looked around regarding high potassium. I would keep an eye on it; repeat the test or look back at previous tests to see if you have a history of it. It seems to be regulated by the kidneys and diuretics. Maybe you should grab your doctor by the ears, get good eye contact and tell him to explain why you don't need to worry about it.
