I do angry real well..but am not Hep C free.

I think it will pass in time, , your body just went

through a whole lot of trauma..

I did well through my 48 weeks of treatment with depression. Now that I have been done for 2 months I feel sad and angry a lot. Even paranoid. Anyone else??

[Guest guest]

Hi ,You've just been through a rough year of treatment. I remember that you were hospitalized. And I remember that you lost your sister. There's no way you can be expected to pop back into a full mode of living. You're still recovering. Try to take the time that you need, however long that is, to heal. And of course if you find that you really can't cope, talk to your doc. (but I'm sure you already know that.) We put our 'all' into tx and now it's over and thankfully (!) we are undetectable. But it's kind of like "now what?" I struggled as well post-treatment and fell into a slump. Not depressed, just felt old and tired . . . well I am, but I don't have to feel that way, lol. I think I'm still getting my physical and emotional stamina back. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Baby steps :)Hugs,Leigh I did well through my 48 weeks of treatment with depression. Now that I have been done for 2 months I feel sad and angry a lot. Even paranoid. Anyone else??

[Guest guest]

, did you take antidepressants while on treatment? Have you stopped? Perhaps , if you say yes to both, you need to stay on them for awhile yet. I was on them for 2 years after tx before I could manage without them. The interferon can cause this.

well maybe you should discuss it with your doc because the Interferon can interfere with the seretonin in your brain. I would talk with your hep c doc if it were me..

, Im confused by what you are saying,, your RA factor was negative4, right? Did they do an ANA test too to see if you had any other Autoimmune disorders? What you wrote doesnt make sense to me,, did you test negative or did you have numbers ? What are the reference ranges for each test? I dont understand the C3 and C4? I dont understand that at all.. so I can't help you,, and you will ALWAYS test pos for Hep C if you have it, even once you successfully treat it, you will test pos for it but wont have a viral load.

before I found out I had hep my body was so achy and swollen the doc tested me for RA and came back positive, then before going to specialist the hep diagnosis came in. When I went to the specialist he examined me and asked if I'd ever been tested for Hep. He didn't think I had RA and said Hep can give a false positive.Then I told him I just found out about Hep.

I just finished last shot last Monday and dispite that treatment aches I do feel sooo much better. Right away on tx my joint swelling went away.

I go for post treatment exam next Tuesday and will have bloodwork, I should ask them to do the RA again to see if it comes back differently now that I'm undetectable.I'll let you know how my tests come back.

That is how I found out I had Hep C. Went to a RA specialist and got a false positive from the RA and they said it was because of Hep C.

If it were me, and because I was overweight when I treated, I used the Scherring Interferon and riba as they were slightly more effective in overweight patients as it was weight based on the doses and not one dose fits all. I started out on 1400 mg of Riba which is a HUGE dose, I lost more than 70 pounds on tx but maintained the same riba dose for nearly my entire tx. Pegasys from what I read when it first came out is only ONE molecule different than Scherrings Interferon and it wasnt supposedly as effective as Scherrings INF on heavy patients, so I used scherrings as Pegasys was not available yet. I think I cleared because I did use the better form for heavy persons and refused to let them cut my doses when I became anemic and DEMANDED procrit and neupo . just my 2 cents,, for what its worth.hugs,jax--- On

Just curious, my Dr.'s will have absolutely no part of treating me again, I'm overweight but quite smoking this time, one Dr. even wants me to have Grastric Bypass to be treated but I cannot afford that my ins. will not cover that kind of surgery.

Dale asked about ECT (electric shock treatments) and is apparently feeling very hopeless.Its my understanding that ECT can only provide temporary improvement that lasts on average only about 3-6 months--and, that there are serious and permanent side effects to consider. And that most doctors either don't tell about the permanent side effects or minimize them.So, despite my fear for giving advise to person who is talking of suicide--I feel I must warn you--and tell you what I have experienced and have learned.I had 12 ECT (electric-shock-treatments).I experienced some debilitating side effects from my electric shock treatments--such as the following: partial amnesia for past experiences and partial amnesia for past learned skills and partial amnesia for past learned knowledge. And I have been experiencing

difficulty with memory problems ever since--as I have very poor short term memory.My sources who have also experienced ECT (electric-shock-treatment) report side effects similar to my own.May I suggest you do some word searches on the Internet for information about ECT (electric-shock-treatment).There is an advocacy organization devoted to ECT called, "The Committee For Truth In Psychiatry" that I would recommend that you search for their web site by doing a word search. And another site is called, Zap Rap.Also doctors who promote doing electric shock treatment are reported to often say things that are incorrect about electric shock treatments potential for side effects. These doctors are misled by the false and deceptive information that they are told by their teaching doctors as wells as by ECT researchers. So, you may not want to trust what any doctor tells you about ECT (electric shock

treatment).And, one of the most common false statements made by psychiatry regarding ECT (electric shock treatment) is that the new and improved electric shock treatment techniques do not cause the same memory loss as the old way of doing electric shock treatments. Don't believe it should your doctor tell you that they can prevent permanent memory loss from giving you oxygen and muscle relaxants and anesthesia--and don't believe your doctor if they tell you the new machines don't put out as powerful or as dangerous of electrical current as the old machines did. As my ECT was done the modern way with a modern machine--and many of my sources who also experienced permanent memory loss from ECT treatments also report having had the new machines used with the new protocols.So, as much as you want to try to stop your suffering--please be aware of what I have told you before you make your decision--as if you go through with ECT

shocks you are risking a high probability of experiencing enough amnesia and severe enough ongoing memory problems to never be able to function normally again--to forget how to do your job--to not be able to relearn any skills--to not be able to successfully go back to school, etc..Shaun---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subject: QuestionTo: SSRIsex Date: Monday, July 26, 2010, 6:42 PM

I have a question has anyone tried shock treatment. I am in the hosptial right now despressed and playing with the idea of ending it all. I can't I have a great wife and kids, I am considering shock treatment. Anyone here have any feed back.

ECT is a last resort for depression and it has health risks. There are many

websites and forums on the web offering extensive advice for dealing with

depression in much safer ways. Together we could make a list of recommended

websites about depression.

My advice is DON'T DO IT!!! I assisted with ECT years ago when I worked in

psych. I saw women reduced to the infant stage where we had to put them in

diapers. Some came in for custodial treatments year after year and were

obviously damaged. My mother had ECT and lost a significant part of her memory.

She couldn't remember when I was little. ECT causes brain damage.

Dr. Breeding, a psychologist in Austin, speaks out on the subject:

I'm not sure how old your son is, but my daughter is at Brown ES in Smyrna. She's in the AU classroom for kindergarten now and we have been VERY impressed with the school. They seem to have a very patient, positive, accepting approach to kids with special needs. It's a public school but is very small and the atmosphere so far has been very positive and welcoming. ly, we had the best IEP there we've ever had...everything we went in prepared to fight for was brought to the table by the team members and we didn't have to ask or fight for anything...they were already on the same page wtih us!

Corinna.. I get that feeling when I have overtrained. I feel this need to eat

but I crave sweets, esp. chocolate. The nutritionist that I work with told me

it's like a car that has run out of fuel and needs more.

 Maybe you are craving energy instead of food? Or comfort instead of food?

That's usually what it is with me.

I'm really struggling tonight. I'm tired and what I should do is go upstairs and

read my book until I get sleepy yet I continue to circle around the kitchen

Hello!

Recently, I have had the urge to overeat, but without craving anything..

it's the act of overindulging that I think about a lot.

I am grateful that the cravings are diminishing.. but what up with this

struggle?

I am anxious about my marathon next month. I have been overwhelmed

lately.. so maybe just needing to relax and calm down? You would think

with the amount I run, I'd be chill.

*sigh*

Corinna

[Guest guest]

e v - I might be craving energy.. or a way to chill.. or punish myself

or calm myself down.. and likely a mixture depending on the time. I had

trouble sleeping last week, so the energy makes sense.. also not getting

enough sleep led to mistakes at work, which led to more anxiety.

I am craving vegetables right now.. FRESH vegetables.. my mantra this week

has been " if loving avocados is wrong then I don't want to be right " (half

an avocado, tuna and chopped salad fixin's? YUM!!!) .. I was at the

store where I could have bought anything and decided I needed a salad for

lunch.

Anxiety is there still, though. Blah! I have to run 32K tomorrow and my

shin is sore. DOH! Hopefully better tomorrow.

I turn to sweets because I normally crave them so I felt like I had to

turn to them.. You know what I think I will try next time? A huge bowl

of FRUIT! I bet that is what I am craving, really.. Mmmm, fruit salad.

Thanks,

Corrina I did a lot this week...tennis, running, gym plus loads of the regular

day to day things and I was tired. As a result, I did not sleep well at all this

week...Last night I was up till 5, slept for 3 hours then had to get up and was

on the go all day. I'm already in bed and hopefully I'll get a good night's

sleep tonite. I do know that when I overdo it with training I have a harder time

sleeping plus I wake up in the middle of the night STARVING.... craving

something sweet! Does this happen to you?

Living in Greece we have got some incredible vegetables right now. A friend of

mine gave me 10 heads of romain lettuce from his garden last week and I've

pretty much been eating salad every day. A huge green salad with argula and

chopped up carrots and red peppers and cucumbers and some corn and 1/8 cup blue

cheese crumbled in and a few slices of turkey with olive oil drizzled on top and

a bit of balsamic vinegar. YUM!!!! :-)

I love fruit but I have to eat it in the mornings. Otherwise, it leaves me

starving!

Hope your shin is better tomorrow so you can enjoyyyyyy your run.

Do you listen to music when you run? What kind?

Hi Kim,

As usual, I don't have any answers--just more questions. Here's the one that

jumps out at me to start with:

Why is the number on the scale important to you?

" " Yet when I look in the mirror and see pictures of myself I look beautiful.

Sexy, I might even say! "

It's quite likely that with all the physical activity you do, you are actually

smaller even though you get the same numbers on the scale. A pound of muscle

takes up less space than a pound of fat. So if by every other measure you are in

better shape, looking better, feeling better, but still the only measure you use

for " arrival " is your weight, you're severely limiting yourself....

" I feel close to my inward goals and it's just frustrating to see that my weight

has barley changed, though my body has made a lot of progress;

i'm more flexible, more energetic, better concentration, and in general

kinder to myself "

Kim, can you pretend I wrote those words, instead of just quoting them?

What would you tell ME if I wrote a list of accomplishments as long as my arm,

but felt frustrated because one little data point hadn't changed?

Please, please take some time today to just sit and feel proud that you've

achieved your yoga certification. Take some time tomorrow to revel in the fact

that you actually feel BEAUTIFUL when you look at pictures of yourself, or catch

a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. (Actually, to my mind this is the biggest

indicator of the progress you've made. When you feel that way looking at BOTH

pictures AND real-time reflections, it's a sign that your internal image of

yourself and your external self really match. In many ways, it's a bigger

success than actually achieving a certain number on the scale, or a certain size

on your jeans. Because it's so possible to have the opposite--be really skinny

and feel fat and ugly and worthless....)

The other, more practical question I have is what's different for you over the

summers? Are you a teacher? A student? Or you just find lots of ways to be

active in the summer and then go into hibernation mode? (OK, I guess that's more

like a set of questions....)

May you continue to find pleasure in your reflection.
