Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah,, had I had sarco before I treated, they might not have allowed me to treat,, but I believe, as does my docs that the sarco was caused BY the Interferon,, but so far, its not shown up in my lungs or heart but only in my eyes,, Im glad that IM coming close to my 5 year anniversary, it will be tested again in March Rick Kipp wrote: Per my Docs, sarcoidosis often dissapates on it's own, then hcv tx is a possiblility. It's a Catch 22 deal. Treat sarcoidosis, makes hcv worse; treat hcv worsens sarcoidosis. Sounds like you have someone looking after you, with 5 year svr! Keep them very close!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think she wrote a book about it – you could probably either find it at your library or have them get it for you. If you Google her, it should also turn up lots of stuff.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I had my spleen removed to prevent the TTP blood disorder that I have from returning...it's experimental and optional and I had it done with a laparascope. That was back in 1997. I've had absolutely NO issues with it being gone...no increase in colds or illnesses. The spleen was enlarged when they took it out which was probably from the HepC. The only difference I've seen is that my WBC (white blood count) is always elevated but the docs say that isn't a problem...it's just how the body makes up for the loss of the spleen. > > This has been worrying me.....so I thought I'd just ask...I had a > splenectomy several years ago due to a car accident....will not having > a spleen cause any problems when I start tx...I know I have to make > sure I get a flu shot every year and a pneumo-vac every 5 years...are > there any precautions to take beforehand or during? > > Tina > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It damages by proxy , lol As an example from hep c we get higher iron sats, then the high excess iron deposits itself into the heart , kidneys and liver doing bad damage to these organs . Also with high amonia comes brain damage . Question That was interesting what you said about your spleen being enlarged because of the hep. when I had a ultrasound a few years ago, I was told the disease had effected the lining of my gallbladder, does this disease spread to other organs?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't think it's a matter of the HepC " spreading " so to speak...I think it just causes inflamation but that's just a guess. I know I've read it more than once that the HepC can cause the spleen to enlarge. When the surgeon first checked me before the surgery, he said it wasn't enlarged. When he got in there and found that it was, I almost had to do it the old fashioned way, no scope. One important thing, as has been mentioned, definitely get flu shots, penuemonia shots and one of my docs used to give me another vaccine that children get...can't remember what it was for...another virus that goes around. Also make sure you've had your HepB and HepA vaccinations too. I had to have them both and the HepB series never took...tried it twice. Don't know why.... To answer the original question...YES, I did treatment 1 full year and two more attempts after that and had no issues with not having the spleen. I even worked full time throughout the treatment and was exposed to all sorts of stuff. No spleen, no worries. > > That was interesting what you said about your spleen being enlarged because of the hep. > when I had a ultrasound a few years ago, I was told the disease had effected the lining of my > gallbladder, does this disease spread to other organs? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Do you mean the Adult Clinic? http://www.advocatehealth.com/luth/services/other/adsc/about.html is too young, but when she turns 12 we will definitely start going there and hopefully when she is too old to go our Peds, that will be her new Dr. I have heard Dr Chicoine speak and he 'gets it'- a truly remarkable man and I have never heard any complaints, only good things from people who have gone there. However- I have yet to hear a good report regarding the clinic there for younger kids. I went once- big waste of time.If you go, let us know how it went!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 agreed totally. but I reckon that's because of something people have experienced that has turned them against religion. their loss. , I've found that you can quote just about anyone, or anything you want to -- but not the Bible. I've discovered that even if you are referencing the Bible as a simple book of a peoples recorded history and the lessons they learned, some people's reaction will be angry, violent, and hate filled just because you DARED to quote it in a way that caused them to read a word or two of a verse. No other book in the history of man causes such a violent reaction. Even after twenty years of seeing it, it still amazes me. do the same people who get offended at religious posts get offended if someone says " God Bless You " when they sneeze? how far do they take their extreme views?
