Re: Phil resumes treatment

[Guest guest]

I remember having spells like this but they eventually went away. That

doesn't mean Phil's will. Did the doctor prescribe any antidepressants

or tranquilizers?

Nadine sorry you are having to live with this. Darlene

Phil resumes treatment

Hi guys! My husband, Phil, resumed his interferon treatment this

past Saturday. The pulmonary doctor found only signs of emphesyzema

(sorry - haven't memorized the spelling yet). He has forgotten two

doses of the oral medicine, both of them 10 a.m. pills. His temper

has come back full force. He can't manage to do anything, unless he

wants to do it. That means I do everything that needs to be done

around and in the house, on top of work and my on-line MBA program.

Phil accuses me of wanting and needing to have the last word, and

yelling, screaming, etc. It's hard not to just leave him. We have

no family or support. Phil does not want to go to the support group

90 minutes away. My heart condition is acting up due to the stress,

plus we are having 2 weeks of special training for when our business

goes from the state to private companies. I try to remember he's

sick, but sometimes I wish I could kill him (don't worry, I won't).

Sometimes he states that he won't be around for much longer, that the

Hep C will kill him soon, then he is pushing and fighting to start

treatment again. Arrrrgh! Nadine

No. Phil was only on the meds for two weeks when the shortness of

breath happened and they took him off the meds. He hasn't slept in

48 hours. I asked him about could the doctor prescribe sleeping

pills and he stated he didn't know. Since he is working 12 hours

tomorrow without a phone, I will call the doctor and see. I hate to

say it, but please don't send us individual emails. Phil read the

last post Thursday morning and hit the roof. Take care. Thank you.
