Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Dear , It's heartening to hear that you've been feeling better lately than you have in months, except that phlebitis problem. I know how painful that can be! I had a couple horrible years with problems with it when I was 14 and 15. Back in those ancient days the treatment was being stuck in the stomach with these horrible industrial size needles full of anticoagulents. When I had the first treatment I was absolutely terrified. Fortunately medicine has come a long way since 1964, ( I think ) and I'm sure the treatment is much improved ( I hope )! Just take it easy, keep off your leg as much as you can, and avoid getting bruised any more than you are. Great news about your liver stats! With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.
