Girl, if I got any better they would have to give me a pill to slow me down.(wait they do give me a pill to slow me down. LOL) I am feeling terrific!! I tell you I have a renewed sense of life. And I ain't manic when I say this. LOL Last Monday was my last shot, Finished the riba on Friday. But I was getting more and more enegry as th e week went along. By Sunday, I was like this is cool. Monday, I had things to do, and girl let me tell you, Hee I spent the day, multi-tasking. Laundry,washing,folding,putting up, dishes(I had a sink full because Sunday was movie marathon with the kiddos at my house. We had fun watching movies, eating snacks, dirty dishes abound. LOL). Working on the computer, talking on the phone, and last but not least finished a blanket that I was making and started another one. Now this is the Janet I remember. Super Janet!!!! I have always been a whirlwind of activity and when the Hep C hit me hard, I became a different person, couch potatoe, sleeping all the time, depressed etc. Now I am once again Super Janet able to leap high piles of laundry, talk on the phone,sew with my right hand, wash dishes with my left. LOL I am so happy, and it only gets better from here on out. I am loving life!! Thanks for asking Annita.

Janet,

My family also went to the " fun day " in Salina. My 12 yr old daughter has poly

JRA and congenital heart defects and Scoliosis. I know what you mean when you

say you are about to " lose it " because I am in the same boat!! It is so hard to

deal with all the different problems at the same time. Sometimes you just do not

know WHICH doctor to call!! Please feel free to email me directly at

Janet,

I had watched to see if you would post on this site after Salina. You had seemed

to be the most likely one of all the parents we met there that would join us.

You will benefit so much from all the support you get from the people here.

Mostly we have mom's but there are also some dad's out there that post as well.

Welcome aboard. I assume that you are still living in Udall. Who do you take

to see for his Rheumy. I was thinking you see Lindsley but am not sure.

Jaye saw her this past Friday in Wichita and we were not impressed with

her at all this visit. I am sorry to hear that is not doing well right

now.

Janet, I am so very sorry that you have to treat again. You really are very brave. Do you have any ideas to share with the List on why you came out of remission? I so don't understand why this happens.. Love and Prayers, Sheena Janet <doc_jade@...> wrote: No Tim you are not a wuss, Let me tell you this. Although I went through treatment twice, cleared the last time, but the virus came back soon after I finished treatment. That being said. I, at first told my husband that I was not going to treat again. I just didn't want to go through another 48 weeks of treatment. I could only put up a brave front for so long. I think it was disappointment because I didn't reach SVR. I went through a Kuhbler-Ross sort of thinking. LOL I didn't even tell you guys that I had the virus back again. I just ignored it. Then I had to tell you because I thought it just wasn't right not to

share. But after talking to my family doctor, I realized that my doctor was right. I had a lot to do treatment for. I am 53 Tim. I have a 11 year old daughter who I adore. I also have grown children, who would sorely miss me if I was gone. I have to live long enough to raise my daughter (the 11 year old) She wants me to be there when she graduates, when she attends Medical school. And when she becomes a doctor. You see I have a lifetime that needs me in it. To not treat is not a option for me. I must treat again. Only this time, I intend to work through treatment. My job is not that hard. Although it does have long hours. I have talked with my co-workers, my manager. And they stand by me, in my decision to treat. My family stands by me. Remember they have went through this twice with me. They were there when I

couldn't get off the couch without help. (sore muscles, tired muscles.) My husband was there when I ran a high temp after I took a shot, he rubbed my back, gave me thera-flu!! My youngest daughters job was to be my cuddle bunny on shot night. Her little warm body snuggle up against just kept the side effects away. I do think my family's positive natures made treatment not so bad for me. After a while on treatment, I actually began to feel better. I actually got into better health than I have been in a long time. I just felt better. The next time I treat, honey I am going to be in the best shape possible for a 53 year old woman. I am working out right now to exercise my muscles. I am walking, I am running, (not too much running as it hurts my knees, he he but I run-walk. ) I am watching what I eat so that I can lose some weight before treatment. It works better if you are not overweight. I am

training for treatment. Tim, I don't look forward to treating again. But I will. Because it is the right thing to do for me, and my family.

the doc whos assit, called to tell me i had cleared the virus and a week later he called back and said it was a mistake. i dunno about you but i will take my family doc when i treat.he has called my gi doc to get a list of yearly labs to order and exchange info i results. to start treating.my doc says 24. i showed the 12 week deal,but he sides with jackie.if i stop at 12 he said because u cant do no more 0r 18 thats fine then just pray and wait.im not telling anyone im treating cept here. funny i let everyone know that i have it.but im ashamed of the fact im treating it makes me cry as i type this. why is that? am i just that big a wus? <mom4possums2002 > wrote: I do NOT trust my GI, he recently sent me a

letter saying there was NO mass.. You would trust a doctor that lies to you? If I could change doctors, I would, but I am stuck.. I will feel better if they watch it for a bit..
