records, back to complete the total-body bone scan; was told I had a broken leg;

went to the hospital to give additional blood for another test, went home to

await a call from my surgeon, got the call and rushed to his office.....was told

my leg is not broken just has not properly or completely healed from a year ago!

By the time we got home, it was aroend 6:00pm! What a crazy day....

Anyway, I elected to take the rest of the week off from work and chill......I am

to start Physical Therapy on Monday and the doc has ordered me a Bone Growth

Stimulator......soooooooooo, pls. The next time you are down ths way, please let

me know.....sorrry about this time.

Hi

Glad to hear that Crystal is better, but not so with the tonics. Wes still

experiences those too as well as the myoclonics. The neuro changed the

cycles on the VNS. He's better. He experiences at least three to four of the

said above a day. He's back to four meds a day. Keppra, lamictal, trileptal

in the morning and Lyrica, lamictal, and trileptal at night.

Take care for now,

Patty, in TN

Hi

What new treatment will you be using and when

do you start?

We are here for you, hoping for no or few sides!

Hi ...I'm new to the group also, but not to Hep C. I have had Hep C for almost 30 years, I contracted it from blood transfusion following the birth of my last son. Although it wasn't diagnosed until 15 years ago. I had little bouts with alot of symptoms and Dr's always said it was just the flu or whatever. I even had my gallbladder removed. Until I fell into a very deep depression and had to be hospitalized no one even suspected. I have gone through treatment 3x's with no luck. I will soon be starting a whole new treatment. There were few if no side effects before but this is a whole new system, a new type altogether. I'm going into it with high hopes that this might be the one that works. They tell me that if I don't see any results or changes after the first 3 mo. they will try something else, but haven't gone as far as discussing that something else with me. My cousin went through

the same thing and kicked it after the first try. So keep your head and hopes high and your line to God open. Always remember....He's your best hope. Good Luck in Indiana

Hi Sheena

I was taking the interferon last time around. Last three times and it didn't help at all. This time I'll be taking the Copegus by Roche. I don't know if it is any different that the other. I understand that it is a little more advanced (stronger) and has a few more side effects, but I'm up for anything if it has a chance to work. I lost an aunt in the late 70's to Hep, I understand that she was in a great deal of pain before she passed. Me? I have a big concern on my own part. I was diagnosed as severe bipolar manic depressive the last couple times around. I wasn't in good shape mentally. I have been completely med free for the last 2 years. I'm just afraid of slipping back into the hole and losing my job or being incapable of working. Right now I am supporting my granddaughter and daughter who is not very well off, financially. Without my income we could lose the little apartment

that we live in. So I have to be strong and positive through this whole thing and make sure that I stay on my feet. If anyone out there can help me out with info or how to remain in a positive state of mind I would love to hear from you. Thanks and God Bless Chris

Hi Everyone

I know that there has to be someone out there among all the people on this site who loves to read as much as I do. Please.....Is there any specific book(s) out there that has proven informative to you about Hep C. I keep looking and looking and even on line they continue you tell you the same thing over and over and over again. I would like to research as much as possible all the things going on inside of my body...From the aches and pains, depression, moodines and brain fogs to all the other things that lie ahead. I used to think that the drugs I was taking for depression were the cause for all the things that I have forgotten, only to find out that I am not the only one out there forgetting simple things to not so simple things. Sometimes I wonder how I even get home from work and simple things like phone numbers and birthdates. I used to think

that it was the drugs, then I thought maybe early old timers (LOL) but now I find out that there are others out there suffering with these same foggy moments and forgetfulness. Maybe if I find a good book on the subject it could fill me in on other symptoms. I would love to hear from you. I have also been experiencing some numbness in my arms, anyone else out there having this problem????? Please write soon.

Thanks Jackie! I was searching online and came across that one and it looked interesting. But you never really know until you get a review from someone who has read it. I appreciate that you took time to let me know that it was a worthwhile read.

Many docs will start their patients on anxiety meds or whatever needed

prior to starting Hep C treatment. Some get by with none but many need

something to take the edge off..I've heard good things about Roche, just hang in and keep the faith.

Best to you, hon..

Hi

First off, I know I am responding to a very old email but I was away from my groups for a few months and am now just getting caught up. I didn't intend to respond to the older emails, since they are from awhile ago, but I wanted to connect with you specifically. I have wanted to talk to someone who has Bipolar Disorder as well has HepC and get any information/experiences regarding that specific combination - I was diagnosed this past summer with HepC and about 2 years ago with Bipolar Disorder I/rapid cycling when I admitted myself to the psych ward for treatment. I am interested to know if the mental health diagnosis will make it harder when treatment starts and basically just get any information or advice on how to handle everything. But mostly, I just want to reach out to someone who has both of my health issues, for support and to offer it.

Hope to hear from you again

Hi Dina, so good to hear from you!

's still here, will leave this weekend to go back to UNC-CH.

He surprisingly did better than we feared he would for his semester grades.

(very thankful for teachers who curve grades too!)

Lowest grade was a D, that was in - I think - Analytical Chemistry. So he has

to take that again, says he needs a C in it. I can't recall at the moment if it

was this class or another that he made an A on the final exam. Yep, an A.

Found out studying for 9 hours will help. So we feared failing 2-3 classes but

only a D in one!

Right now I am still nagging him (a couple times a day) because he had waited to

see what classes he would pass/fail before finishing registering for classes for

spring (which start this Monday). So he'd only signed up for a couple. He's

signed up for 1 more since here, which gives him 9 credit hours. He needs 12 to

be full time. Not sure what he can take, blah, blah, still hasn't signed up for

another. Keeps saying he'll take care of it. Is playing a game right now, what

he has spent most of his break doing, besides sleeping.

I will say that when he was signing up for that one class, he said it took him 3

hours to find that one to take. And he didn't want to look anymore that night

(this was a week ago). And I could tell he felt stressed from that, could see

anxiety.

So it appears he won't graduate in May since he needs to retake that Anal

Chemistry. He will have to go through a process with paperwork to see about

going to UNC-CH longer. Only I don't know how that will work as he wouldn't be

fulltime so couldn't live on campus.... Never having gone to a 4yr college

myself, it's all sort of foreign to me!

Thanks for asking! This would get too long if I went on about the other two!

Thanks for the update! Glad he did better than expected. Can't he take

the Chem. class this semester? It would still be fresh!

Dina

[Guest guest]

Dina, the credits wouldn't count toward the total he needs towards graduation,

repeating the class now. He needs credit/class under some category (the one he

is supposed to be finding NOW) towards graduation. But he did look at class

times for it, can't fit it in to this semester's schedule.

I don't know how it'll work out, over my head! If it was a local college, no

problem, I could figure it out.

Good for ! I know the D isn't good, but the rest is great!

I know what you mean, Chris. I'm lost in this college stuff too. Don't really

know what I'm doing, and they get annoyed if I try to help Josh, who is also

confused. They figure the kids should do it themselves, yet don't give them

much direction. It's frustrating!

Do the games soothe , Chris? I know they do with Josh. They make me

tense. lol I think for Josh, it takes his mind off of other things so he can

relax.

I know he's enjoying the games, I'm imagining they relax him. I know years ago

when OCD began, those years, it was less enjoyable but still an escape too. And

then he quit playing (guess OCD wouldn't let him) but would nag others to play

so he could watch. He was " intense " just watching them. This past year is

really the first time he has started getting back into them, hadn't played for

years.

Hi , haven't heard from Judy in quite a while.

- well he did graduate college last August. Has had one job interview,

but applied to a few, mostly at the same company. Wanting to get into medical

research (cancer) he is trying to find " lab jobs. " This particular company

seems to have/advertise the most for jobs in a laboratory. No local businesses

like this, so all a couple hours away.

Other than that, basically he is just sitting at home except for his church

attendance and choir practice and helping teach Sunday School. Though he did

join a community band (county band) and that was nice, but they just broke off

for summer. I've told him to find a job even at grocery store, just GET one.

I can see some aspects of the Aspie being part of this " lack " of motivation (if

that's the best word). Like there are a couple other things he needs to take

care of (muffler for his car and find a dentist that takes his new insurance)

but I'll have to " walk him through it " and maybe go too, that's where I see the

Aspie stuff mostly.

OCD-wise, he still manages and just lives with it. I hear him mumble or

praying, still " see " the OCD in areas, but at least he still goes on thru the

day, doesn't stop him. I'm just happy he does manage with it!

One of our common friends told me recently that told him last fall he

was " taking the year off " after college. Was first I heard of that, so it could

be part of his not actively (or frequently) pursuing a job as much as I'd like.

Thanks for asking! Hope all is well with your family, or " manageable. "

How are you coping with him living at home? ARe we never done taking care of

our kids? Do our " special " kids not ever grow up and leave home and become

financially independent? I'm having a panic attack here.

Becky

[Guest guest]

I took my son in to our local hospital to sign up as a volunteer and they have

been great so far. I figure this will give my son some real experience to put on

his job applications, though unpaid! Also will give him a sense of going to

work. Our local state college also does internships so I am hoping that will be

an avenue for us as well. Any other ideas?
