Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Dear Ice, Well I think I'm a 53 yr. old (age)lady! LOL I'm a geno type 1a and have done two different forms of treatment and will probably do treatment again in May. If you read my email to Cheryl I explained about treatment. I quit smoking for about 3yrs. then had some very anxious moments and being depressed when I started going back down hill symptom wise. So I started smoking agian. So why have you chose not to do treatment? Or are you waiting for the cure? I was diagnoised in 98 with some scarring of the liver. Did my first treatment right after diagnoises, then of course had to wait for a new treatment. So did you say where your from? I live in Iowa, pretty small town. I have 2 grown children, a daughter and a son and 2 grandsons by my daughter ages almost eight and just a little over a yr. Would love to visit your site so send me the link! Well i have got to get busy you take care and write me any time. Love, Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i have got to get busy you take care and write me any time. > > Love, Teri LOl hello Teri well 53 is a young spring chicken still and you are only half way through life lol ~ I live in Kent England and have had hepc most of my life, well nearly 20yrs so my liver was a step away from full blown cirrosis, I was advised to do interferon after biopsy in 97 but went the natural route as I was a qualified reflexologist and masseur. I contracted hepc after a blood transfusion in the eighties. I had friends to swop skills to pay for treatment of homeopathy. Being ill in bed with a liver the size of a football 5yrs ago and kidney pains due to liver not processing anything well- I was told to take interferon but I refused though I would not recommend everyone to do what I did just think carefully about all the options. Now I have lots of energy after treatment with homeopathy, I have no more pains in kidneys and hold down to cleaning jobs (I am up a 5am every morning lol) I hope to still be in remission for a long time and opened up radiant health for others with all different types of illness as I cannot be a practitioner due to being a carrier of hepc -I have had tests done recently as these are the first in 5yrs, viral load, genotype etc and I will keep you posted when I get results.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi, thanks again for responding. I thought you only needed treatment if your getting sick and I havent really had any symptoms except for some abdominal pain. But it dosent make sense to me that they wont treat me before it gets worst, should I maybe go to another doctor and get a second opinion? ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Cheryl, Different doctors have different ideas about treatment- some think treat before serious damage occurs , others think wait until some damage is done because some people can go for the rest of their lives with no damage at all. Most doctors like to do a series of tests - blood tests, sonograms, cat scans , etc up to & including liver biopsy to determine what damage has been done - what they call a base line - so they know where they're starting from. When I was diagnosed in '94 , it was because I had asked my doctor for a hepatitis screen (which tests for all kinds of hep) - I knew I'd had hep in 1969 or '70 but didn't know what kind I had. The tests came back positive for hep a & hep c . My doctor sent me to a specialist (a gastroenterologist) who did test after test , he did a biopsy in '95 & when that came back cirrhosis he started me on interferon treatment. The thing is , I had cirrhosis & no symptoms that I knew of. I had insomnia , chronic fatigue , & brain fog but didn't know that this were hep symptoms ! You can be asymptomatic & still have serious liver damage ! Suziecheryl mccormick <coke_232001@...> wrote: Hi, thanks again for responding.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi, I had fatigue and joint pain, but only stage 1 damage on my biopsy. I decided to do the treatment because I couldn't see waiting for it to get worse. I was so tired all the time, I couldn't imagine what I would feel like with more advanced liver damage. I've been in remission for over 3 years and don't feel fatigued anymore, just occasional joint pain, so it was a good trade off for me. http://tampabayhep.com/ > Hi, thanks again for responding.
