Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi ..well the big day has come and is over for now. We dicovered who my old dr was..he is one building away from this one. lol. They know each other and the old is sending the records over. I wish I had remembered his name sooner because I really liked him. This dr started out asking me why I was there...well duh...my blood work idiot! He asked what made me feel I needed seen. I told him I had been worried because I was getting more and more easily fatigued and it was not a norml kind of tired. he started asking all about what other illnesses I have and what all my meds were for..then he said that he would not know if it would even be any good to think about retreating me since it stopped working last time. Lovely news. Not that I wanted to repeat that terrible time. He said that there were four things that were contraindications for treatment. 1 it had not worked well the first time. 2 I am now dx'd as diabetic. 3. I have a long history of taking the psych meds I take. The last was upsetting. because my daddy died of cancer and it was in his colon as well as his bones and lungs. Believe it or not by telling him the name of the clinic Dad was treated at he found the records of age and dx ...I guess because he was deceased but I did not even know what year Daddy was born in! Anyway, the game plan for now is first an ultrasound next week and on the 5th a more intensive round of blood work and a liver biopsy. He is getting my old one to compare. He said the lab results I was mailed show a high level of the virus. His physical exam was not too bad. Said he could not feel my liver which was good. But to be honest with seventy pounds to lose he may not have been able to feel beneath the fat. So...not really reassuring but not a crisis alert. I will keep you all informed so you can help me know what is right to do. He apparently wants me to decide my own fate. I did get asked what I wanted to do be treated or watched last time though. I told him my goal was to be sure I was not ignoring something that could be treated and would prevent my being here to take care of my grands til they grow up if left untreated.Good night all.
