Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hi Do you have any links? If so, I can add this info to the Insurance folder in the library. love don in ks From: Trudy <trudykinsey@...>Subject: [ ] Dr visit..."Hcv" < >Date: Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 10:55 PM Well, went to my GP today to follow up on testing for Cryoglobulemia... Results negative. Darn; not that I want a new problem but at least there is a tx for that...there isn't any tx for Renaulds syndrome without Cryo. So, Dr wants to test B-12 level and Thyriod. I have to go back for labs after two weeks of not taking the B-12 supplements. Dr says those two things can have this symptom with hands and feet.Told him that I need an anti-dep; don't " feel" depressed, just wanna kill people . Oopps, probably not the right choice of words! Told him I just have NO patience and very irratable, that other drivers are stupid!, that nothing ever cooperates!, and Damn! I hate going to Walmart!! That poor Hubby just tells the chihuahua to be still and quiet... Mommy a little upset, Shhhh...Anyway, Dr typed A LOT into his laptop(???) and prescribed Cymbalta. Anybody tried it? And for pain he prescribed Darvon. Kinda old drug, Darvon. Doubt that it is Liver-Friendly at all, but I won't be taking it often... Especially if it knocks me out like i'm afraid it will.I wish I had a GP that was educated about HepC and Tx. This Dr is pretty good. This was the only dr in the area that would accept me as a new patient. I " interviewed" several before getting in to this one. The others weren't willing to take on such a complicated patient. In retrospect, I hope the Cymbalta works well. Don't think I should do tx while having these " rage/ temper" issues. My BFF concerned cause sometimes anti-deps make issues worse. Altho we laugh, she is afraid I will act out on my " temper". I just want this " stressed" feeling inside me to settle down. Oh, BTW, no smokes since Sunday. So, quess I can lay them down again. I almost feel like it is worth it if smoking " calms" me. But, I think there was a connection between smoking again & how sick/ weak I was last week. So, no more for now... , did you say that you are trying to get help with co pays of tx meds?? Are you getting anywhere with that??Okay, I have rambled on long enough. If you have experience with Cymbalta , weigh in ... Everyone be well and be wise...Breathing deep and slowly, relax.
