Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Everyone on this list is here for you. This is a great place to vent and tell all. Chances are someone here can help you. I am sorry you are feeling depressed, goes with the territory for the heppers and the families. I understand what you mean about wanting to get tested each time you go, but we go to a city hospital and we really cant just say I want this and that... Hope your tomorrow is better.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 , Don't give up, first thing you should do is change your Dr. I don't know what part of the country you are in but there are some great treatment programs that are being done. I'm also sorry your husband isn't being more supportive. You have alot to deal with, people should be supportive. Don't give up, things can get better.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 I wish I could be tested every time I go to the dr, but they make me feel like I am a hypocondreact and since I go to a county hospital anyway, I cannot just request it. This is the only place where I feel safe in even thinking the way I do. I wish my husband had the slightest idea what I am going through, but he just keeps drinking his beer and I have to go on acting as if there is nothing wrong. Guess I am just feeling depressed tonight.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2000 Report Share Posted May 27, 2000 Hi : Something you can be doing is take Milk Thistle to help cleanse the liver. With his dr's approval, my husband takes 210 mg/day. You can buy it at health food stores or even order it over the internet (www.vitaminworld.com). You mention your husband keeps chugging his beer. You know that's something you shouldn't touch, right? My husband is an alcoholic, and the years of heavy drinking before he knew he had Hep C has no doubt contributed to his liver damage. He quit about the same time he was diagnosed 4 1/2 yrs ago. He also is prone to depression (takes Prozac), but they offered him the combo treatment anyway. He decided against it because of the poor success rate. However, the addition of another drug to the combo we learned of recently apparently works better, and he has decided to go for it (after he recovers from next wk's back surgery). Granddam posted info on it on this list about the same time my husband's dr called us about it. We're here for you! Tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 debmc, I know what you are saying and having the support of my husband would be great. There are days I feel okay and if I have a bad day and say so my husband just gives a big sigh and says something like " when do you ever feel okay? " (very sarcastic) Sometimes I feel like something major needs to happen before he realizes this is not a joke. I've already changed drs once (i'm on an HMO in Illinois) and this dr is the same as my old one. I'm a recovering alcoholic prone to depression, he can't treat me, just monitor me. Like I said, sometimes I just say why bother? Thanks for listening and I'm really glad I came back to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Sharon, I have had blood work and a liver biopsy which the gasto dr said showed cirrohsis and " activity " . My liver functions go up and down. She wanted to put me on the interferon injections but found out I was in the hospital for depression and said she will not treat me because the medicine causes depression and there have been cases of suicide and she doesn't want to take the chance. She told me to just have the hep C monitored by my regular dr and maybe in a few years they will come along with something new or just have a liver transplant.......(like there is no problem with that!) I am on an HMO and have already changed DR's once. The new GP says the same as the old one. Your sick, you aren't going to feel good...just live with it. Nice, Huh?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Tree, That wasn't me that posted about her husband chugging beer. That was Sherry...my husband just refuses to acknowledge my illness. I am a recovering alcoholic and have had many relapses even though I know its not good for me. Sometimes I think I do it so that something major may happen to get my husbands attention. (as I wrote in an earlier post) I used to take milk thistle and should start again. I take St. s Wort which is a mood enhancer, all natural and I have to hide that from my husband. He is against all medication, says I'm pill happy. Thanks for your post, take care and hang in there.....that's all we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Scooby, I am glad you are on here and feel comfortable with letting it all out. A lot of people feel like they are so alone and if there isn't any support I can understand why, they need this and other support groups. I am glad I have joined this and many other groups to learn all I can for My Husband and for myself. The Dr.'s are still so clueless in many areas. I keep looking for more info and hope to help someone, at least to be able to vent. I just wish more family members would get involved, it helps so much to learn all you can,in order to help the ones who are sick. Those who have this disease need a lot of support from family and others. Just because you may look well doesn't mean you are, and that's why they don't believe ANYTHING IS WRONG.! I see it with Our Family and some friends and it is so aggravating at times. But you learn to resign yourself to it and the disease but not give up.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 : My husband is also a recovering alcoholic, prone to depression and has Hep C, and they ARE offering him treatment. Prozac is working for him. Maybe you should keep shopping around for another dr, although I know when you feel bad, it just takes too much energy. Will it every stop raining?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2000 Report Share Posted June 1, 2000 Right on , Deb. Its true that we have to demand action from our Drs. or get a new one. Demand a specialist, such as a Gastroenterologist. They will sweep you under the rug if they think they can get away with it. HMO's use the number system and you're just another statistic to them. Not that way with God. He cares about you and so do we. We are all real people-individuals-not just a number. It says in the Bible that He knew you before He formed you in your mothers womb.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 , I was going to look up my info on Chicken Pox & the vaccine - but haven't had time yet. Why are you stopping the NSAIDs before the vaccine? The NSAIDs are an anti-inflammatory - but to my knowledge have now effect on the immune system, so they shouldn't be a problem to take them with the vaccine. Of course you would follow the doc's directions - but I just don't understand.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hello Tania: I hope this post helps. I had my Hellers Laproscocopy on March 16, and I cannot believe how it has changed my life. Like you, my weight was dropping dramatically (45 pounds in 13 weeks) and I was weak, sore throat from reguring, and generally miserable. NOT TO MENTION UNBELIEVABLY FRIGHTENED. I too, had moments of hesitation and was not sure I was doing the right thing. Just so you know, you are not alone. I had my surgery on March 16, and the difference is amazing. I had two dialations of my Esophagus only (not the LES tear), and neither did anything. The surgery was absolutely the right choice for me. One month later, and I am eating. VERY SLOWLY, tiny bites, chewing to an absurd degree and introducing things one at a time ... but I AM keeping it down! It is almost a miracle in my book. I now go out to lunch and dinner with family and friends. I order food and ask for a take home container to be brought with the food. I cut off 1/4 of everything, and put 3/4 of all in the take home container before I even begin to eat. It takes me as long to eat the 1/4 as my companions to have their full meal. I am very satisified with that amount of food, and have meals cooked for the next few days. It is working out well! I am definately a rule follower, so I am still taking things very slow. Sometimes I feel like I could speed up, take a larger bite, or try a few new things ... but I remember what I felt like, and make myself follow the rules. My surgeon tells me he thinks that is why I am doing so well. Tania, you are within reach of relief. I hope it goes as well for you. Can they do it Lap if they also have to remove the gallbladder? That would be great. Good luck. When you go to the hospital, remember chapstick! Also, I took lozengers to suck on but be sure not to swallow any little pieces. My doctor was not happy to see them sitting on my end table, but I assured him, I spit them out when they get small.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hi Tania, You will be OK ! I know just how frightened one can be. I have had major surgery 3 times and was really very frightened. It seems silly but you can't help it. I see the surgeon tomorrow and am scared he will say wait but just a scared he will say let's do it tomorrow !. They can remove a gallbladder with laparoscopic surgery as well, and it is said to not be that bad, so why can't they do a Heller and fundoplication as well. It sounds reasonable. Please let us know how you are doing ! Hugs Joan just checking in > > > hello everyone its been awhile since i posted.. i haven't been doing > to good.. " A " is taking its toll on me..

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Belinda, if I understand it right, the 9.75 is the bands circumference or size. It doesn't refer to how much it holds. I think I have that right. I have the 10cm band that also holds 4cc. I hope I am getting that right. just checking in Hey everyone I had my first fill Thursday and everything went well. He gave me 1cc and it's taking me awile to get use to the differance. Nina my band info says I have a 9.75 band the dr that did the fill said it was a 4cc band. What does this mean? Could you ask Dr Aceves how much fill I should get for my size band. I'm down 25 pounds and walking 2 miles 3 to 4 times a week. Well got to go Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
