Ok, Gayle. Thank you for your answer. I forgot about the nurse's line. I forgot to sign up for it, but will give them a call. Maybe I should have more facts first, though. I finally talked to my dr's nurse today. It looks like it will be Wednesday before I hear if my Ambien will be replace or if my dr. will prescribe something to go along with it. I hope he changes the sleepaid and doesn't decide to prescribe an anti-depressant. Other than using Ambien, I have not had depression as of yet. Maybe later, but now I don't need the antidepressant.

I got my list of labs from there, but didn't see how to do the graph. I may try again tonight when I go in to get that number. Yes, I am on Pegasys and Ribavirin.

If it's only cysts, they will have to wait until after my hcv treatment before any surgery, if at all. Hugs. VGDeb wrote: Vickie calm down. You are already in fear a panic and stressed out over surgery on tx and may not even need the surgery at this time.

Why and what good does it do us to get stressed out over something that may not happen and if it does than handle it accordingly and not go to pieces over something that is out of our control. Honey yes life with HCV on tx than clear or not is 1 thing after the other and unless we can handle it and our lives than it can all go to hell and quickly. We have many ongoing health and emotional battles. We need to pick and choose our battles wisely. Fear and panic does us no good and gets us nowhere but in much worse shape. Deb

You're right about that, Gayle. Since leaving GA, I've learned that some of the things they had me on were totally unnecessary (spelling). I've stopped my allergy shots and haven't had any problems with it since. And I've learned that my ear, nose and throat dr. strung me along also. They are in the money game and will recommend anything that will keep you coming back to pay that co-pay and keep the drug companies paying that kickback for prescribing their meds. The problem is, sometimes it's hard to know when the problem is real and when it's not because of the finess in which the dr's present it to you. No, I do not trust dr's too much. I am very leary. That's why I stayed away from drs until the last 10 years.

Gayle, I've got RLS & none of the meds work for me. Believe me, it's real & driving me crazy & has been for years. Don't dismiss something out of hand just because it doesn't affect you. I'd say your M I L should take all her meds to her primary care doc & seee just exactly what she needs & doesn't need. Some drugs can have very dangerous interactions. Then again, she may be one of those people who want to spend their lives in a legally drugged out state - her choice.

Gayle, I should have mentioned, Deb has faith in the medical profession for one very good reason - if it weren't for them she wouldn't be with us right now! They've saved her life more than once & I for one am exceedingly grateful to them for that alone. SuZie > Dr's are just not throwing us rx's of anti-d's to make us feel

Re: Hi, all. I need some advice,

please

Oh no doubt about it, doctors are a good thing and I'm more than

amazed at the things modern medicine and technology can do. I'm not

saying I'm anti-doctor or anti-med, but I feel that some people

(unwisely) take everything their doctor says to heart without using

their own god given common sense.

Of course there are those like my MIL who were born with no sense at

all, but I won't go into that. lol

Is there such a thing as ADD and hyperactivity. Yes, I've seen it

first hand. RLS? I'm sure there is. The problem is now that there's a

drug for it millions of people who didn't have it before suddenly

will and like Tim said it's all about the kickbacks and return

patients for a lot of doctors.

Anyway I think we should let this go. It's really more about personal

choice and opinion and that's something no one should argue about

since we all have that right. ;-)

I'm glad Deb's here too and if she and I bump heads it's probably

because we're both strongly committed to our beliefs and that can't

be a bad thing. If you don't stand by your beliefs and personal

choices then you're just another sheep in the herd. ;-)

Gayle

>

I can not tell you how many times doctors have saved my life

before this came on me. Broken Neck,Broken back,broken Shoulder

compound fracture of my right ankle,Multiple compound fractures of

left knee,Femur,Tibia and nerve damage to from the calf down no they cant

do eveything you still need the good Lord .
