Well,
Last Week I got  a tetenes, chickenpox, and Hepititis shot from the doctor. And about 2 days ago these irritating whit bumps appear on my tongue. I'm hoping they'll go away but they haven't. Someone please help me. Is this a sideeffect from the shot. I just don't know. It can't be an STD because I'm not sexually active. I'm so confused.

Whoa there man, your not bailing on me now.. We're almost done. When I lost my insurance at week 4 or 6, something like that.. My Dr assured me that because I had already started, that Roche would pick up the meds. Lucky for me, I kept and old backup policy through my employer, so I didn't need it.
Call Roche, and run it by them. Man, your Dr should be helping you out with this too.
I have extra Riba, from my first tx. You need them, let me know..

So that is where you were! It sounds like it was a lot of fun!
I have not been camping since I moved out of CA in the 80's, unless a nice inn by the beach doesn't count as camping. The "thread" was still alive but hanging by a thread yesterday...

genedog: don't forget to ask your doc for donated meds. some of them have leftovers given to them by their patients.

Camping while on tx?? Damn girl it took all I culd give to stay in a nice hotel while on those drugs.

I just got back from camping also on Sunday, We were up in the mountains at Breaks Interstate Park (the grand canyon of the south).I know what you mean about those darn bugs and thin hair. Mine is starting to grow back and still they were able to get to my scalp. Good to hear that you are doing so well.

I also have to agree that those of you on tx with kids have definately earned my respect and admiration. I had a hard enough time with hubby and 18 year old stepdaughter, couldn't even imagine little ones to take care of.

Any ways hope that everyone else is doing well.

Camping!!! You're even braver than I thought!  (I'm a beach-go back to comforts of a/c&t/v-person)
I noticed you've been gone; glad to see you posting again.
I've had good news - all my girls' test for hep-c came back negative - quite a relief for us all.
again - welcome back - i've missed your wit & wisdom; but as you said your co-horts have been holding up the fort!

how's everyone???? cutie, frank, chev, honey, rev, all??? i just got back from a weekend camping trip at a nature park in illinois. we went with friends and it was really nice. i went horseback riding in the  woodsy rolling hills, green and lush! it was soooo cool!!! my way to hike!!! our friends have 4 kiddo's...yikes! how do you guys do it with kids on meds????  thier kids were so sweet too...

it was so buggggggyyyy though, i still feel like i have bugs crawlin on me!!!! i never realized how important it is for camping to have "thick" hair...the little creeps go right to the scalp on my thinning head and crawl around... yuck!!! i thought i would loose my mind, but, not sure i had it to begin with so nothing to loose i guess.  

we tried out our new camper that we are going to take to the panhandle camping in July on the beach. we needed to figure out how to use it. i think we'll have a blast in Florida though.

anyway how are you all? did you have a nice weekend? how are all you guys doing that are new on the meds? is it going ok?

cutie, frank, i see you're holding up the fort? anything new happening around here?

talk to ya all later, i should read and catch up i guess...

nice to be back,
sandi

you should post that question to the drug manufacturer. There are no doctors at this board.
