Re: My BX results

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Pat. I am going to try not to be a real big baby. Just a little one. I'll try to just take that first shot like a man, or a wo man. I appreciate all the support y'all can manage. Am beginning to get a little nervous thinking about it, but the sooner I start the sooner I will finish treatment. And, I don't plan to let my life stop while I am on treatment. and, I hope those are NOT my famous last words. Ha! I have been through some tough times, I can do this.

Hi Vickie, I go through periods of not sleeping but the doc put me on restoril very low dose and that helps. Wanted me on the other sleep med can't remember the name but anyhow I didn't want it.

Fighting with 's connectivity problems have added much time to my efforts. I've been told that not being able to sleep is not good for treatment.

ok, I have had restless leg syndrom, but found that if I increased the amount of water I drank it went away. I drink lots of water, but not as much as I will need to drink once treatment starts. And, lately I haven't drank as much as I should. I totally cut out soft drinks some years ago but have an occasional mixed drink with dinner at a restaurant. Other than that, I drink tea with dinner. The rest of the time it's water. I still am gaining weight. I think I could just smell food and never eat it and still gain weight. I am 20 lbs overweight. Will they weigh me just before starting on treatment? Doesn't amount of tx taken depend on weight of the person taking it? Or, am I all wet on that information. Thank you for your input.

hi vicky

yes, ask your doc for something to sleep..you need to rest..

Re: My BX results

I am an insomniac and have been for years and years. Didn't know it might be from the HCV and always wondered what was wrong with me. Sometimes I am so tired I can't stand it and my eyes are wide awake when Imy head hits the pillow. It is frustrating to toss and turn all night and listen to hubby snore. Thank you for the information on where to find someone to talk to. That would have helped me years ago. Lately, however, I have been able to go to sleep at night. I've just been trying to catch up on emails tonight. Fighting with 's connectivity problems and my satillite connectivity problems have added much time to my efforts. I've been told that not being able to sleep is not good for treatment. Should I ask my dr for something to help me sleep while on tx? Or, should I continue as usual?

ok, I need to make a list of questions. I guess I can ask the nurse when she teaches me to give my shots. I'm really confused on the shots around here. They will not let a person give their own allergy shot, but they will allow them to give the shots for Hep treatment. I don't see the difference. Except maybe one is a readypen, I guess. anyway, hugs, VickieGPat McBride <pmcbride1@...> wrote: hi vicky yes, ask your doc for something to sleep..you need to rest..

Thank you, Kat. In that case, I won't have any problem giving myself the shot. Sounds like things are falling into place. Now I have to figure out how to pay for tx. I have insurance but haven't been told how much it will pay. My dr said we would discuss that when it came time. And, I know he wants me to start tx asap. So, it depends on what the shrink says. Has anyone out there ever made Chicken Mole? I made some tonight and am not sure it turned out like it should have. It has peanut butter and chocolate as well as chili powder in it pured with sauteed onions. It's different for sure. I don't think i'll like it after tasting the Mole sauce. It's supposed to go over rice but I think I'll put in frig. and think on it before messing any rice up. . We are leaving for Bean Station, TN tomorrow and I still have lots to

do. But, will finish tomorrow. Take care everyone. I'll be back Monday.

I thought/think of it as a gift, to help me live a fuller and more productive life. Course I never thought of this attitude until AFTER my treatment, but its certainly helped me since. I don't get as depressed with a positive way of thinking so it helps my diabetes too. *S* Course it really hard at times, and I just say the *heck* with it then, but normally..... lol

Yes Vickie 1a & b are the most common in North America & the hardest to clear, I've tried twice & I know at least one guy who's tried 4 times at last count. He relapses, I don't respond.

He went from Grade 2 inflammation Stage 1 cirrhosis to Grade 1 inflammation, Stage 0 cirrhosis so even if you don't clear you're giving your liver a break. I wish you better luck than me. My tx was the old combo so your chances are much better.

20 pounds overweight is nothing to worry about.If you were 50 or more pounds overweight they might suggest loosing some before treatment.I am not sure if they weigh you before treatment.Everyone got the same amount when I had it and if we got a reaction the dose was reduced accordingly.

They told me amount of pills etc. goes by weight. I am a bad drinker also but you will really feel the tx if you don't drink enough. Found that out the hard way now when I go out my water is always with me. I still don't do half my body weight in water but close to it.

Put that crystal light in your water.My husband and I hate drinking water and now myhusband will drink water.It only flavors the water and they have six small packs in them so you just put one in a glass of water and away you go.No sugar just flavor.I use it myself now.In Canada it is in the section of the grocery store where you get drinks .It will make a difference on your water intake.
