Re: doc appmt - Sharon

[Guest guest]

Don,

I have been sick for the last two days with nausea. I don't know if it's my gallbladder or my liver or my tooth. But something is terribly wrong. I don't think stress makes u nauseas. My husband said he would go with me.

I will ask the doc if i still have the hep c to find out the viral load and the other liver levels. I know I will be going to see a liver specialist, I know there is something wrong. Well, nothing I can do but get the results. I probably won't have them tomorrow, and I don't want him to call me on the phone so I figure maybe next week he will see me, not sure how they do this. He is a good doc but not a liver specialist. I do like him but I am not sure what he's gonna do when I tell him. Not looking forward to it.

I look at it this way, my husband, who did more drugs than a pharmacy could stack, and drank but not a lot and he has nothing wrong with him, well I am feeling pretty good next to him, lol. He also had his gallbladder removed and almost died. He bled internally after the removal for some reason, no idea why. But this nausea has to stop it's making me ill. I am making an appt with a dentist too. I am so sick it's not funny. I don't know what the hell is wrong, I'm burping a little but the nausea i can't even do anything today.

I will keep everyone informed. My apt. is 12:20 ugh. Wait til the doc hears what i have to say, lol Well my husband will be there so I won't be able to get a word in edgewise, maybe that's a good thing. I took Maalox i think it is. It's for indigestion. That's what it feels like.

ttyl and fill you in.

thanks

sharon

Hi Sharon

I just want to encourage you to remain calm.

Your going to do just fine at your doc appmt tomarrow.

Your going to learn some very helpful things, and get some answers.

You may even be pleasently surprised.

Ask your doctor to give you these 2 blood tests:

- Viral Load - [to show if you are actually chronic or not, and what VL you have]

- Liver Function - [to see where your liver stats stand - ALT, AST, etc]

A tiny prick, and you do need to know these things, so you can make plans for YOUR future.

We can help you understand the results when you get them.

I know it will be a big relief to put this step behind you.

I was freaking before my first doc visit too.

REMEMBER - your not going to die.

Most all HCV complications are treatable, and life does go on.

AND

By you going through this step first, you will be able to help others in your family too.

I am blasting you with love, calm, good results, and lotsa good energy.

You can do this.

love

Sharon,The nausea can be from nerves.  And yes, nerves can make you terribly sick.  So can stress.  The blood work is your first step...  then an ultrasound and a biopsy.  Once you get results from all of that you will know exactly where you stand.

SharonFirst of all, I can get very nauseous if I'm stressed!! I used to get to a place where I literally could not eat and it was all stress related.You don't need another appointment with the Dr. just to pick up lab results! You just need for him to have a copy ready at the front desk. Except, there is a good chance that he will want to see you again with results anyway.It does not mean anything that your husband's system was able to clear the virus on its own. It means absolutely nothing to do with you!! I suppose that one could look at it as being unfair; but, that's the nature of the beast. One of my sister-in-laws asked me about that and I told her that there is no

rhyme or reason, why some of us get this virus and why some eradicate it even though they were involved in highly risky behaviour.Please try to keep these things in your mind when you go to the Dr. Here on this group, we don't ask and certainly don't judge why anyone got the virus. It just does not matter!! Those of us that are currently on tx, probably don't have the energy to care. Those that are waiting to see if they might need to go on the tx, have probably already just about driven themselves crazy trying to figure it out. Those of us that have been cured of the virus, are just too damn grateful to ever go back to those questions.Truthfully, even the Drs can not tell you how you were exposed!! They were led to believe from away back, that it was an IV Drug Addicts disease. It's not!!! No more than AIDS is a homosexual disease. There are just too many reasons why most people

could have picked it up. For me, I'm fairly certain that it was from an ear piercing. I know at least one person that got it from a tattoo. So, all you need to think about, is do I have a viral count and if so, what is it. Plus, what the liver enzymes say. That's it!! But, you won't know that until a couple of days after this appointment.Gloria
