Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Well, the packers are done for the season, but we took a good run at it. When it's all said and done we can't complain about the season. NEXT YEAR! They're going to beat the Eagles for the NFC championship and go to the superbowl!!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 I've talked to others who started out feeling just fine, then after the 2nd or 3rd shot started getting sick. For me the 1st shot was the worst. It does get better after a while, your body adjusts somewhat to the meds. The last several months of treatment it was mostly fatigue and the brain fog, the other " flu-like " symptoms were much less frequent. Good luck, I hope you start feeling better. Going to work and reading emails (or books) was all I did throughout the whole treatment.. -dz- --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > Good morning all.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Terry, I will be praying for you.... Some say the sides aren't as bad as time goes by.... I think a few of the guys missed a few days of work in the beginning.... Which treatment are you doing???? The 3 shots or the once a week? When I was on treatment they didn't have anything but interferon.... No pills to go with it...... You will be fine and we are here for you if you need us......

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Thanks Dave..I know it is a pain in the (i) to have them both at the same time..I don't have the fever anymore but still have a bad cough..My cough med. has hydrocodone in it..All you take is 1 tsp. every 6 hours//Now that's strong cough med. I am very weak though..Real dizzy when I get up and walk around..This damp weather we are having doesn't help me either..Oh well it'll just take a little time to get back to normal..But you know with having Hep C it is harder on us to get well than someone who doesn't have it...Get in touch when you can......

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 I took a " family medical leave " for 2 months. There is a federal law that requires them to allow the leave with proper documentation from your dr. Whether or how much you get paid depends on your company short-term disability policy. As I am salaried, I just got my regular check. I was ready to go back to work after 4 weeks, but had to get a dr's release to go back, so I ended up with 5 weeks off. It was very helpful to me. By then things had settled down with the meds. -dz- --- diane214@... wrote: > Terry, > I will be praying for you.... Some say the sides > aren't as bad as > time goes by....

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hang in there, my wife also is just getting over bronchitis, she also had the codeine cough syrup, but I don't think she had the flu. Anyway she has been suffering with this for several weeks, it seems to be getting better now. Take it easy.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 My grandson is now 3 1/2 years old and gets the IVIG treatments, we have been very lucky since he has started them he is much better, he has not needed to be on antibiotics, or had to go to the hospital for infections (for a year now), your son's igg level is not good, it wasn't even as good as my grandson's when we increased his amount of igg in the IVIG. I know that some people (religions) do not believe in this kind of treatment, but the difference in my grandson is like night and day. I can't believe God would allow us this knowledge to try to help these little ones, and then not expect us to use it. But i also understand we all must chose for ourselves. i hope this was helpful, i do not mean to be negative in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 > , Where do you live In the U.K?I live in south wales. > (unknown) > , A wrap is when the surgeon takes a flap of the stomach tissue to wrap around the lower esophageal sphincter after he makes a myotomy through it in order to help prevent reflux. There are pros and cons to it. If it is too tight, you may not get the desired results from the myotomy. If you don't have a flap, you can have more problems with reflux. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Terry, Hang in there..... I will say a special prayer for you...... I hope you are forcing lots of water into yourself.... You must drink, drink, drink!!!!! (Plain Water) It helps a lot with the side effects.... I know I wanted nothing to do with drinking or eating when I did the shots..... But you have to do it......... Just rest and don't push yourself..... I used to take a Tylenol a half hour before the shot, and I did it about 8 pm so I slept some of the sides away...... For a while anyway..... Don't forget!!!!!! We are here for you..... If you need to vent then put it out here..... We are your support..... Don't forget it either.... OK Buddy?
