Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Trudy,You will find that those doctors don't just go away when treatment is over.. they like your money too much! You will follow up with your H-doctor for the next several years. It will be awhile before you are totally back to normal so your docs will be hearing from you and they will stay close. After treatment, I did the unthinkable. I was so tired of taking those damn shots and pills that I rebelled. I stopped taking all my meds for awhile. Do not do what I did. It was bad. I still am horrible about taking my meds. I probably haven't taken them in weeks just right now... I need to get back in my habits again or my docs are gonna be yelling at me big time! Just remember, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call the doctor. They will answer. They will be there.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 TrudyI'm sure not one to ask that question. When the first go around finished, of course, I waited with anticipation to learn that the scare was over. Back then, the Drs here were only doing PCR's at 12 weeks and then at the end. Well, absolutely everyone was shocked when my readings came back with the dragon laughing at us. However, all of my outside support also ended with that. The HepC nurses didn't call as usual and I didn't see the need to see the specialist, since I was watching for something new myself.Then, you know what happened after my clinical trial!!! However, I can tell you that after I was recharged from the surgery, I felt like a whole new me. I had more energy than I'd had for 6 years. No, I'm not into mountain climbing!! But, I didn't have to go to bed every night by at least 9:00pm. I was a big girl again and could stay up late.I've never had to miss the Drs. There's never been enough time to miss them. Even when I have to go over to Vancouver again this month or next, the Dr. that I have to see, is the very next door from the HepC Clinic. No, I'm afraid that for me, these Drs will probably always be in my life.Gloria Thank you Don , for ALL you do. When it is your turn, I will be standing right beside you.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 TeriYou shouldn't even be telling that story! Bad, bad, bad. Yet, I know exactly what you mean. I swear that if they prescribe one more thing for me, I'm going to have to move into the pharmacy.My friend from Vancouver was actually surprised that I don't have my meds put in the blister packs for the twice a day. But, I'm pretty good about taking them both in the morning and the night. I only fall off if I don't feel like getting out of bed. Besides, no matter how much I watch, the pills never seem to all run out at the same time.Or like earlier this week, I needed an increase of the one anti-depressant in order to cope again. You know, I'm really surprised what a difference that increase made!!! Now I feel as though I could support my Mom with the latest family crisis.Gloria Trudy,You will find that those doctors don't just go away when treatment is over.. they like your money too much!
