Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi BeckyrayI know its hard not to worry or panic but I worried myself sick last week over starting treatment and everything else. Praying that your ultrasound and biopsy come out OK. Have a great day!karen in NevadaWe are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.

Subject: Hi everyone.To: HepatitisCSupportGroupForDummies Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 10:17 PM I had that ultrasound today. I guess I wont hear a word about it til they do the darn biposy a week from Friday. I am so anxious. Im trying to stay calm but I have started having mini panic attacks..where you heart races and you almost dont breathe? I am just so worried. I saw where one of you started treatment today...I wish you the best. My time in treatment only gave me strong flu like symptoms and horrible headaches. I was happy that I actually lost forty pounds in just four months. I hope you have an easy time. Oh on the anti depressant thing, I am bipolar type 1 and have to live with a stablizer for moods as well as an antidepressant. I went off all until the last few weeks when I had to add an antidepressant. It was Lexapro at the time and I only just changed to celexa two months ago so it was good for about eight years. I know you can do this. Good Luck. I have been withdrawing from all the normal things lately. Just too many things to worry or stress me. All I want to do is sleep. But I do trudge on with the chores ..such as baking cookies tonight for the grands to take to school tomorrow, last night up doing laundry.(they brought the laundry up at bedtime monsters!) Nothing else to say really. You all take care. Beckyray "A room without a book is like a body without a soul." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010  Thank you Karin. I try not to worry but have been having those mini panic attacks and bad acid reflux type problems. I know I have to wait though. How are you doing with the treatment so far? Do you have to give yourself a weekly shot like I did? I got to where I hated that day...just started feeling good and then had to take it again. But it was not as bad as I was led to believe. I hope it works well for you.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Good Morning Beckyray and EveryoneI have panic attacks too so I know what you are talking about. Yes i do one shot a week. So far I woke up late Tues/early Wed. about 2 AM and I thought I was going to die with the flu. I thought I had the flu 100 times over when I WAS NOT doing treatment....this was horrifying the worse.I have had some shortness of breath ......(worse) now, but I have an inhaler which works pretty good.Hey, has anyone started having "BONE" problems either before or after treatment? About 1 year ago my knee (which I injured severely when I was 17) (now 53), hurts so severely and this past 2 months it feels like that my knee is anchored on with 3 screws and 2 are gone, but this is not constant (but the pain is). I was getting cortizone shots every 3 months. The first 3 helped for a while but the last one (since my knee started moving) did not work. And of course i can not have anymore while on treatment.So 3 days now going into 4 days of treatment..knock on wood) not too bad so far.Everyone have a GREAT day!!!!! in NevadaWe are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
