Absolutely . Sylvia is right. You are in no condition

to start treatment. Some one else recently said she was starting

treatment with a history of depression and a suicide attempt. I

don't remember who it was but I told her definitely don't do

treatment. I know it's a personal choice, but sometimes it seems

so obvious that they shouldn't treat. Also obvious that some

doctors are still lining their own pockets by pushing drugs.

Doctors are practicing' on you. Use with caution...r

It's a pleasure having you join in our conversations. We hope you have found the

Sylvia-thank you for your candor. It is so important to stay informed and make

good decisions. If I had been more informed, I might have picked up on some of

the problems that I was having and associated it with hep c or a liver

condition. The MDs do not generally look at a complete med history in depth and

must not have much experience with hep c patients. I really appreciate you

letting me know and encourage any other information you may have. I am doing

better now (I think) although I do use great caution in cooking or doing

anything that may be dangerous if I forget. A lot of the problems I have are

being brought up in this group, so maybe there are more issues to do with the

HCV than TBI. My thought at this point, is that if I go on the clinical trials,

at least they will give me an anti-depressant an monitor me closer. Right now I

feel pretty much that I am on my own to figure out what is going on and what is

causing it. Thanks again to all for such knowledgeable and caring

advise.

Okay....I'm going to say it because if I don't I would feel guilty.

Dear : A recent brain injury that may be causing mental

confusion turns on flashing red lights in MY mind. I would consider

it a contraindication for starting treatment UNLESS you get cleared

by a neurologist.....someone who specializes in this and can assure

you that it is SAFE for you to take the treatment.

I didn't say it before because I probably would have scared you and

everybody would have beaten me up.....LOL

But a doctor who doesn't give you much information and doesn't listen

to your complaints of mental confusion has no bussiness treating

you. If I remember correctly, he's putting you in a study. He knows

you have some mental confusion so that means he's violating the

guidelines for obtaining an informed consent.

Clearly, he doesn't have your best interest at heart....dump him! You

deserve much better. I hope I didn't upset you.

> Thank you all for the great information lately. Many of the

symptoms discussed on this site is helpful since I was not sure of

the ones related to my brain injury and those related to hcv. (I may

have written this before and apologize if I am repeating.) The

aches, pains, and mental confusion is extremely hard to discuss with

anyone and no one really wants to hear it. My MD has not given me

much information so I have to find out through others as in this

group. I am very worried about starting the therapy next month, but

find some relief in knowing what others are going through that have

started on it. Thank you all again for the information. Kathy
