I love your buttons. I used to have a T-shirt that said "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." Also I love: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Have a great day!

Just wanted to stop by your site and tell you I'm thinking of you... I read some more of your journals, and I really love the way you write. It's immediate, engaging, and graceful. You're talented!

Teddy bear hugs to you!!!! I just read your comment on my anorexia post, and it made me feel so much better. You really said some things that made me feel more positive about keeping up with the Ensure and eating anything I can, and not getting caught up in the trap of thinking about losing weight. I just have to thank you - I really feel so much better. You get my special rose emoticon - oh, if I can remember how to do it - oh yeah! @--->
Love,

Wow. You have a lot on your plate, girl, that's for sure! Today, though, I wanted to give you special props for your LITERACY! It's a real treat to read your journal entries. They're clear and well-composed, and they give me a real sense of who you are and what you're going through. I'm one of those old (uh...not THAT old) curmudgeons who thinks written expression is a dying art, so it's always a pleasure to happen across someone with a real gift. In recognition of your skills, you absolutely deserve EXTRA good thoughts, so here you are: {good thoughts!!!!++++} ---With love & respect, Jenny

Hi Charlotte,
An Integrative medicine doctor integrates alternative, holistic medicine (but still science-based) strategies with conventional medical to come up with strategies that promote health.
Most conventional doc will not recommend supplements even though they have been proven to be extremely helpful. Only Integrative medicine uses all the tools in the toolbox.
I hope you are doing well. Keep looking, it is best to take charge and create your own program.

Don't mention it Sweetie. By the way, most of the people responding to your thread have very strong, uninformed opinions. Most of them have only one opinion - do interferon and the sooner the better. If you don't treat you should get to an integrative medicine MD who can help you with the latest non-INF strategies. They can make a real difference and you will feel better, not worse. If you need to find one let me know.

Hi there! I was looking at your profile and some of your posts. I have schizoaffective and hep c, so you're not alone! It makes the whole thing rough, though, at times... But we'll make it! :-) Take care & have a great day!!!

Like Andiamo, music has meant a lot to me, especially in difficult or sad times. Here's one of my favorites:

I had 5 biopsies; they are boring but not much trouble.
Good luck and even better luck with the results.
