Mel, I don't think it's you at all, but treatment related, I have heard similar stories from others.. Try to hang in, you've come this far, and that is truly something! You are far tougher than you are giving yourself credit for.. I only hope I do as well! Hugs and Prayers, Sheena Melodee <melodeedestefano@...> wrote: Thanks for your support. I hate to say it but I think I am manic. Either that or on the verge of nervous breakdown.At least all the "strucural anatomical" type tests are looking fairly normal, or at least what I expected. I have a little bit of cervical spine radiculopathy. I do not think that caused the burning arms episode. This dang Peg/Copeg is a bumpy ride for sure. Two GI docs said to continue on and that I am not doing too bad on this. Of course I have pushed myself everyinch of the way for 7 months trying to be wonder woman or something. I think that everything is just catching up to me now. I have been off work since March 17th. I am getting very concerned about bills coming due. I love being home, but I am almost afraid to relax and get

comfortable. I have a boat load of doc visits scheduled and also going to s Hopkins endocrinology later next week to see what they have to say about all this.Thanks again for being a should er to cry onMel

Mel, I am starting my very first Injection and Riba on Friday, week one of 48 weeks minimum. Not sure how that will be for me, but I do hope that caring about others does not go the wayside. That would make me very unhappy.. I have watched others struggle for 7 months, all any of us can do is the best we can.. I do so hope you can get your disability resolved..

Sheena, I'll be right here beside you all the way. As will most of the other members of this group. It's scary starting, but once past that, it's just keeping SVR dangling like a carrot before you. I know you will get there, just as I know I will.

Hugs and good vibes to you, friend.

What great news that you are feeling some better! I know everyone repsonds differently, time will tell.. The Ribavirin is the actual Dragon slayer, can see where they could kick butt! Thanks, and hope they can get you turned around very quickly! Hugs, Sheena Melodee <melodeedestefano@...> wrote: Hi girl.Look, you will probably be fine. In the past 7 months I have not gotten fever or

symptoms to bad after the shot. Personslly I believe that the Ribaviron is harder on the system in general.But anyway, the beginning was the easiest for me. I have a "blown up" thyroid now, but everyone is confident that they can take care of it.I am feeling better today.melLove and blessings..........

Hi TB: Things are much better here with me, but I can't completely get rid of them. They like me too much. But, I'm grateful that things are better.
