Stress seems to intensify his episodes.

Honey I don't know how you are still working full time at this point. You are a very strong determined woman and always keep up that fight for you.

I also worked full time many times long hours into late stage 3. Than into borderline stage 4 agreed on tx even after being honestly fully advised I was probably in a fast progression and tx may trigger worsening of it. It did threw me into fast track cirrhosis stages and had to be medically pulled off tx very early with serious complications.

Many people in late stages and 4 also said they were doing good even some doing great than as time complications progressions stress got to a point stage it's accumulations the symptoms new ones and other complications hit them including total fatigue.

Stress will do it to us add to it and on a faster track. My plan of action was to get everything in order prioritize it try to live as stress free as possible asap. Yes I know easier said than done but very doable.

Disability benefits from an employer is much easier to get than medicare medical disability. Medicare disability has now recognized dx's of HCV stage and complications from it all much better but it is still a long hard struggle fight to get it.

My best advise and hope it helps file for whatever you are entitled to asap it takes time for documentations sending for all medical records to be accepted or denied with possibly many appeals.

Be very well prepared ahead of time your own documentations have it all written down all complications symptoms how you feel total body what you can and can not do anymore for all Dr appt's make sure your Dr's document it all in your charts medical records fully explaining it all and long short term prognoses. I would sit there and smile at them watching them write it all in my charts until they did it. Now many dictate it after you leave your appt's. Your disability claims can always be updated added to as time goes by.

Keep us updated about you and you can also reach us in private emails to discuss things.

Hang In There !!!!!!!!!!!

All The Best.

Re: Hi

Thank you for your support and encouraging words. I'm doing goodunder the curcumstances - I still work full time. I do feel howeverthat recently my health is taking a negative turn and I am not surehow much longer I will be able to work. I am just so very tired andhave a lot of joint pain. I also seem to be having more problemswith my memory and depression. I am working towards going ondisability - I just think that if I could rest more and not be in thestressful atmosphere of work that I will do better. My liver has tolast me four more years - I have to be five years cancer free to beon a list. I have this bone marrow test today - I pray that it willbe ok. I think it will - I'm sure my bad blood test are a result ofmy liver - they just need to make sure. I will know in a week - ifthere is a problem there I really am in serious trouble. Even

thoughyou know it is going to be ok -still really scarry.Thanks again for your kind words
