Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 All the doctors who wrote books were attacked. As well as the doctors who came and presented at our conferences. Dr. Blais always flew stand-by because of the threats made against some of the doctors. Thanks, Lea. Washington was fast, but interesting. Hope it does some good. I was exhausted when I got home.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I just want to say again, that though Dr. Vasey may support that women get ill from implants, as far as I am aware he doesn't have much to offer in a way of a cure. Most traditionally trained rheumatologists have one bag of tricks...immune suppressing drugs. That's it. And painkillers of various kinds. HOwever, there are some rheumatologists that consider some alternative methods of healing and who also use the antibiotic protocol which in my opinion should always be used first. Anyone wanting to know how most people fare on standard rheumy drugs should go to the roadback site. Or any of the other sites talking about rheumatic diseases. If you want to try and control your pain but not actually alter or stop your disease process, then go to a rheumatologist. I, for one, have been very disappointed in them and I have been to at least two. The only kind I would go to now are the ones who use antibiotic therapy--it doesn't destroy your immune system and it makes sense. It is based on the observation of Dr. Brown that apes sick with arthritis were found to have mycoplasma in their joint fluid. When treated with antibiotics, their arthritis eventually resolved. He developed the antibiotic protocol to treat his arthritic patients with good success. It has evolved into treating all kinds of immune disease and they say their success rate is somewhere between 67-85% of the people who use it. Suppressing the immune system doesn't deal with what is causing the problem in the first place and can have serious consequences down the road. Just my opinion from talking to many people who used standard rheumy treatment before trying something more aimed at stopping the cause of immune malfunction.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 - You will hear lots of horror stories, and most of them are true, however their are also allot of good stories out there. Some people go through treatment without one side affect or only feel crappy for the first day of the shot. Allot of people are still able to work all the way through treatment with no problems. I on the other hand don't have a good story to tell as to my side affects - but I will tell you that I beat the hep, and even though my sides were pure hell - it was so worth it to have rid the nasty hep from my body and to feel normal again. While I was on treatment I would have told you that I would never do the treatment again, as I was so bad. But after I was through and a few months had gone by being clear - I had actually forgotten what it felt like to feel normal and how amazing it was, and how I could do all the things that I had missed out on because of the hep. Yes - I would do it again if needed. And I think you will find more like me than not. I feel we owe it to ourselves to give our body a fighting chance, to feel human again, and rid the nasty dragon. Do you know what geno type you are and have you had a liver biopsy yet. You may only have to stay on the treatment 6 months if you are a certain geno type. Keep your chin up girl, and this is very much a personal decision, and of course the Doctor can help you with that also. Keep in touch - there are allot of wonderful people out here in these support groups to help and answer any questions and they are very knowledgeable. If you want to join more than one group, I know another one that is amazing also...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 lisa thank you for the feedback-i had a liver biopsy two years ago- i was then a stage one-i was going to a clinic and i felt like a guinea pig-i think i was genotype one-but i remember the dr saying my liver was ok at that time-i think the geno type i am is the one that takes longer on medication-then i made the decision to stop going to clinic because i was scared of the side effects of the medication-lately i feel very tired.and sometimes i feel like i have a fever-and now i am scared-back then i had no side effects i went to be tested because so many of the people i use to hang with had it --so i new i had to have it to---i have a dr.s appointment on the 7th of march then i will ask for the refferal to a dr here in las vegas--my mother is also worried because i have three sons, and she had a friend pass away in the 90's from it-he didnot know he had it until it was too late--any ways thank you for your words-i guess the herbal meds out there aren't worth it---i will let you know how everything goes thanks again peace Davies <davies@...> wrote: - You will hear lots of horror stories, and most of them are true, however their are also allot of good stories out there.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 - you are most welcome for any support that I can give or anything I can do to help. That is what these groups are for. Going through treatment is a major decision, and is by no means an easy one for some to make. If you felt fine 2 years ago, and you were only in stage 1, unless you are a sever drug addict or severe alcoholic - it usually takes years for the disease to progress into the later stages. I really don't know why we get the symptoms when we do, and all of us heppers are so individual, I don't know if even the Doctors have the correct answer for this question for sure. I had only had my hep-c for about a year and half, when I started having symptoms, and like you I was in stage 1. So I don't think just because we are having those symptoms means that we are in a worse stage. I know that the Doctors themselves have so much more to learn about this disease, before 1991, it was still known as non-A and non-B hepatitis. I think if you are really concerned about the sides and if your liver damage has changed - if you have good insurance, I would just ask the Doctor to do a liver biopsy. And if you do decide to do treatment, you will have a biopsy anyway. I wished there was some miracle advice I could give as to the treatment, you know they say that in the next couple of years we should have a new and better form of treatment with allot less sides - maybe if you liver is still stage 1, you might think about holding out until the new drugs come out. The Doctor, and I assume he is either a gastro or hepatoligist - he would be the best to advise on waiting, and give you the most accurate pros and cons. However, I always have felt and I think that I speak for allot of us heppers - the best thing you can do for yourself is to be your own advocate and make yourself as knowledgeable as possible. Ya know , another way to look at the treatment is - you could always try it for a few weeks and if the sides are bad for you or unbearable - you can always QUIT. You could have little to know sides and breeze right through it, either way you have nothing to loose by just simply trying it?? Keep talking to people in the groups, like I said they are so knowledgeable and some have been dealing with this disease for 30 years or more. Okay - Well Girl, keep your chin up and keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yes, hair loss is just the beginning, and it could be much worse, as many have more serious problems to begin. Check Dr. Huang: www.lindahuangmd.com In Colorado, she is the only person we refer women to, as she removes implants properly, is reasonable (I would never let the doctor who put them in take them out), and she will leave you looking good after removal. Be very careful in choosing a doctor for removing implants as most do not do it properly. Lynda At 10:24 PM 2/25/2006, you wrote: >Welcome Laurie, > >Implants cause a host of problems . . .

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hello Marie, In 1987 I had a complete physical and my liver functions were normal. In 1988 I had some medical tests when I attempted to purchase a large insurance policy. I was declined insurance due to abnormal liver functions. About three months later I began having medical problems that led to my being terminated from my employment. I started seeing Dr. Gish in S.F in 1989 and was tested for nonAB. However, three tests determined that I did not have nonAB. In 1991 a test for HCV came out, I was tested, and found to have HCV. Eventually most of my medical problems that started in 1988 were traced back to the HCV. Before my first treatment I had a biopsy and there was no damage to my liver. Now I am in stage 4/3 and there is talk of a transplant. I have been through four clinical trials, the first in 1993, and one treatment program that was not a clinical trial. My insurance will not pay treatment because I have been treated with everything that has been approved. However, my doctor wants to put me on a maintenance program, and written prescriptions three times that the insurance has denied. What I have observed through the years is that for the most part those that catch HCV early and depending on the genotype are the most likely to have success with treatment. Those that are in denial for a long period of time, do not take care of themselves health wise, or wait by trying other options do not have as much success with traditional treatment. Although I have not seen any medical articles that would support my observations. This is more antidotal than anything but when I have discussed it with my doctor he seems to have the same opinion. The thing that really burns me is that there are no federal or other funding sources for HCV research. Most of what is being discovered is a by product of HIV research and that disease has the political clout. However, more people are likely to die from HCV than ever will die in this country from HIV. The drug companies are really in the business to make money not to find a cure, and there is still no cure. The insurance companies are also in business for money and would rather see patients die than pay for costly treatment. Those are my opinions of course, and others are welcome to theirs, either way it is frustrating. During the past year I have posted at this site several times with no answers or comments. It is good to see that the site is back to talking about HCV and not the continuous efforts to make the site a swingers place. I have seen a number of sites come and go over the past few years with some going by the way due to disagreements about what is posted. I have been able to glean a few tidbits from this site from time to time but most of what I find out about HCV is by researching the medical journals. Please let me know if I can answer any questions about my experiences with HCV.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 " I guess I was wondering if anyone thinks we should contact anyone else for another opinion, or do we stick with Dr. Bleesing on this? " - This is a hard one because I know you trust Dr. B. I do know of one parent whose child's peds immuno misdiagnosed the mother. Of course, that is just one person but it might be useful to get some adult immuno recommendations from the IDF or other parents for the long-run. Also, some people do really well with broad spectrum prophylactic antibiotics but others do not (e.g., develop secondary fungal infections, gut problems, resistance...). Docs have different opinions on this issue. I know that I have posted the following article on CVID way too many times, but I just think it is so to the point. So sorry you are have to make these decisions all at once. http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic870.htm " Antimicrobial therapy should be initiated at the first sign of infection. A narrow spectrum of drugs should be used when culture and sensitivity results are available. The prophylactic use of antibiotics should be avoided because of an increased risk of infection with fungi or other resistant organisms.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 You bet. I will be talking to the referal lady today...will let you know how that goes. Still trying to communicate with her...I think she is LD or something. She asks me questions that should be right there in Jarrod's file! It is very frusterating. What about you? What is going on with you? Is work okay? Haven't seen you in a while, I am so ready for summer. It is reading week and we are very busy at school. I come home exhausted and just got over the latest bout of bronchitis and viral cold. Nasty bug. Love you, Willow penguini18@... wrote: Thanks for the new e-mail.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi, Work is fine, last week I was very busy. Went to a workshop in Reno on Friday night, Saturday. Sunday visited my mom..... also watched DVDs and knit. Still going to LA at Spring Break. My cousin and her husband will be there to. So we are visiting a total of 8 people....2 of them little ones. So glad to not be teaching. I was sick a lot. Those germs in the school are powerful, and you are always in a state of exhaustion. I want Spring a lot. Decorated today for it. Love you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
