Anya/ Short intro and bio time again :Star1956

[Guest guest]

Hello Barbara, I just turned 50 this last Nov. I was told about hep c before it was hep c, but non A non B, so this tells you how long I have been dealing with this. I went through 18 months of just Interferon Alpha A back in the early 90's. Only to find out I too, am a non responder. And the Interferon left me so sick, that I too, could not try any new treatments. But, if I could I would. I am Geno type 1A I am now end stage liver disease, and trying to be placed on the transplant list with a meld score of 11. Although I was a 14, but I believe through the low salt low protein diet, this helped to bring it down.I have complication of hep c from enlarged spleen, Hyper Portal Tension, and low sugar. Weight is hard for me to gain. At 127 and 5.8 But, I never stop to worry about none of this, I keep on keeping on, knowing I'm going to fight this battle till the

end. Though it all I have kept a positive attitude. I have bleed out once, and been band 22 times. I just won't give up this battle I fight. I know God holds our hands. I have so much to live for. Though I have one child born to me, I went on to raise 8, seven boys and one girl. Life has it's good days, and it has it's better days. I am grateful to have a day.

Hello Barbara,

I just turned 50 this last Nov.

I was told about hep c before it was hep c, but non A non B, so this tells you how long I have been dealing with this.

I went through 18 months of just Interferon Alpha A back in the early 90's.

Only to find out I too, am a non responder.

And the Interferon left me so sick, that I too, could not try any new treatments.

But, if I could I would.

I am Geno type 1A

I am now end stage liver disease, and trying to be placed on the transplant list with a meld score of 11. Although I was a 14, but I believe through the low salt low protein diet, this helped to bring it down.I have complication of hep c from enlarged spleen, Hyper Portal Tension, and low sugar. Weight is hard for me to gain. At 127 and 5.8

But, I never stop to worry about none of this, I keep on keeping on, knowing I'm going to fight this battle till the end. Though it all I have kept a positive attitude.

I have bleed out once, and been band 22 times.

I just won't give up this battle I fight. I know God holds our hands.

I have so much to live for.

Though I have one child born to me, I went on to raise 8, seven boys and one girl.

Life has it's good days, and it has it's better days.

I am grateful to have a day.
