Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 sometimes it is very hard to read between the lines on a message forum. anyway your explanation makes perfect sense to me!

I took this to mean that is saying the government takes our money promptly (when it taxes us) but likes to hold onto it as long as they can (when they pay us a benefit).

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry for any confusion. I can let go of a lot of things but my cynicism towards our government will be with me always! Thanks to all for the info on applying for disability! I don't need it yet, but I'm sure I will at some time. I finished my combo treatment (peg-Interferon plus Ribavirin) for Hep C in May and I didn't clear the virus, but that's OK, for now anyway! I am kinda fighting with my healthcare provider (Kaiser) about getting into a trial that is looking at lower dose (about 1/3rd strength) Interferon mono-therapy greatly reducing the chances of liver cancer. They said (the Hep C RN) " Oh, that is only open to people with cirrhosis " Hello, don't you bother to look at my records to see that I do have it before you make these kind of decisions? My fear that I will get cancer before I get bad enough for a transplant. Oh is my cynicism towards HMO's showing as well? ) At least my primary physician is cool. He isn't a liver specialist and he doesn't pretend to be. He knows that I have armed myself with knowledge and he asks me what he can do for me. That makes things so much easier. Thanks to all for your wonderful support and my prayers are with you!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi Chris! I know what ya mean about the gvt. I am sorry to hear the tx didnt clear the HepC for you. My docs said I wasnt a good canidate for the tx, as I suffer with depression and min is the hardest to treat 1a. Have you ever checked out hep neighborhood? That site is cool. I was fearful of cancer as well, and had a liver ultra sound a few weeks ago-it was clear, and it helped ease my mind.. Have you been able to have one done yet? Praying for you, huggs, Jodoco please keep us posted on how you are progressing. Lord wrote:Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry for any confusion.
