A new day and I hope a new beginning

[Mister beagle bailey]

The post right below this one has reached it's max.  I do not like it when some make fun of others illness.  This really has to stop.  

Spacecoast4--No one decides who can use the internet, however this is a site for people who need support and words of wisdom,  You calling me psychotic because I don't like any of us being made a fool of or fun of makes me wonder about you.  This is a support forum and frankly I do not know why you are defending Kalio2 being booted off.  To me it makes no sense because of all the hurtful things he said.
There are many sites he can go to and play.
I really don't understand you.

I have brain fog sorry----I for got you did not start tx yet.  Good luck on your bx Fri.  Please let us know how you make out after the bx.  Do you know what geno type you are? The blood test would tell you. When you start tx it will be the best thing you ever did for your self.  I know you worry about the meds but your not alone, we have all been there.  And we will be there for you.

Wow a full 7 and a half, some of us might brag about that. Oh maybe were talking about different things.

[can-do-man]

Forgot to ask you one thing. Please to me a favor, if your in contact with tator please tell her im sorry, there was a couple post i made to her that, well i wish i could shove them in my big mouth and eat them. I repeated something that was told to me and in the heated moment i let my mouth run off and i have felt bad ever since. Thanks

[sindog]

Hey my big bald head is no joke. My hat size (cowboy hat of course) is a full 7 1/2. Try that on sometime, betcha it hits your nose.

[can-do-man]

Glad to meet you, i figure if a person can dish it out then they best be able to take it. But i do try to refrain from name calling. I kinda feel like it places me at the same level. Also feel free to bash me anytime to, sometimes these meds makes you want to fire away. So fire at will..LOL

Oh and since you said i could insult you. Well i just can't resist then......... You been polishing that bald head of your lately????? Just kidding, well no not really. Good luck to you on beating this virus.

[sindog]

I read all chevy's posts, she always seems to say the right things. By the way, if you ever want to say anything to me, go ahead. Feel free to blast away. I enjoy a good insult as long as it's well thought out and funny. If it's not funny, then it's not well thought out. If someone doesn't like what you say to me, then they should read their own mail.
Best Wishes in your current journey.

[dyce]

Thanks .The way I see it I need all the help I can get,but like you said in moderationnnn!Ha are you tx now,please let me know your stats.

Dyce

[Forseegood]

ohhhh, yeah. asked several docs, nutritionists, what have you about my regimen. I also take goat whey protein powder in my fruit smoothies for extra aminos. Not too much though, I think the devil is in overdoing, and there is a culture of overdoing in this country...just my take.

[dyce]

Thanks for asking.I'm about to tx.Go for bx next Fri.and to Dr. 12 days afterward to discuss tx.If this supplement is anti-dote for tylenole overdose then it sounds like it's really liver freindly.Foreseegood did you ask your Dr.about this amino acid?

[can-do-man]

Thanks for the kind words, that seems to be hard to come by around here. But sometimes i open my mouth and then wish i would have kept it shut. I try to keep telling myself that old saying, "Its best to keep my mouth shut and just look the fool then opening it and remove all doubt". But i'll work on it. As for child abuse, no i have no use for it. Its a easy way to get my blood boiling. But i also realize that strator is very good at handling things and im sure he did. As far as being hooked on drugs, booze, cigs, or big macs its seems some people want to bash them unless its their bad habit and then they tend to find an excuse for it. I do chuckle when i here people talking about seeing a pic. of their liver and then preaching to others about not doing anything to harm it. And then talk about their smoking but find all kind of excuses because its their bad habit. Well i best shut up before i insert my foot in mouth again. Again thanks and glad you beat this d*m dragon. Maybe some day soon we can all say that. At lease we can hope

Hi, i agree with much of what you say. K2 made some remarks that I didn't like. I tried to pick on him, and was hoping to see him go. On the other hand you are correct, this is a support forum. What if K2 came here because he was depressed and angry. Sound familiar? What if he was needing something from us but was just unable to bring himself to express it. Maybe he doesn't know how.
In the past I worked with problem kids and was a "special friend" to several kids. They made these kind of comments that K2 made. Maybe I'm way off base. Next time maybe we should consider more tolerance. If I'm, I'm wrong. No harm in a little tolerance. When I worked with the problem children, it generally seemed like a waste of time. But when I seen that one kid, just the one out of all I worked with, and he runs into me 5 yrs later with a big smile on his face, and there are no smart ass remarks like he used to make. K2's remarks reminded me of that kid. Anyway, sorry for the sermon, just a thought.

Hi, yeah, I've been taking NAC for a long time now. I like it, it goes with the rest of my regime. If you look it up you'll see it's quite harmless. Are you treating, have treated, about to treat, waiting? he he he, sorry to give you so much homework...

[sindog]

You asked "has anyone else taken ritalin for energy while on TX"

Before TX, and before I was diagnosed with HepC, I would get overwelming fatigue. I tried ritalin and it seemed to help. After I started tx, I again tried ritalin for fatigue. Basically it made me feel horrible. On the other hand, I do not suffer depression from tx. I do suffer from anxiety (a tx side effect) and my doctor explains is kinda the same thing as depression, only different (if that makes sense, explain it to me). Anyway, I think the ritalin may have intensified my anxiety, which I didn't suffer from before tx (the doc didn't tell me this, I'm just guessing).

[dyce]

Have any of you guys heard of this suppliment?I'm going to ask my doc about this on the next visit.From what I have researched this is a precursor to glutithione a anti-oxidant aminoacid produced in the body.Research has shown this suppliment helps rejuvinate depleted levels of glutithione which can be caused bt alcohol consumption,drug therapies,toxins.also its proven to srop free radical production and viral replication.It is also given as an anti-dote in hospitals for tylenole poisining,proven as a liver cleanser.Not saying this is some kind of cure or anything,maybe when one isn't on tx maybe it coult help us rid our livers of toxins ingested in everyday life!Dyce

[honey11]

LOL Don't you feel special! Kinda gives you that warm fuzzy feeling don't it.  Yep,,,I can open a thread at work,,home,,bathroom,,,anywhere,,,Great thing about computers these days especially the kind with the handle on em!

[strator]

missmiss - That's is some great advice and grest of you to post what you went through. I wish I'd come across thios place months before-instead of the day -I started. Do I see the most subtle little mention of undetectable there?
Congratulations!!! Good thoughts your way! You went through a lot to get there.

Mrs.O - Hope the thyroid stuff helps you. Glad to see the update. I remember somebody I met who did treatment said they had thyroid related problems on tx but it worked out well when dx. Wish you the best, way to hang in.

Stay Well, Journey Well,
Don

[dyce]

Right now I've not syarted tx as of yet.I'm just plain tired from working allday.From time to time I do have sx from the hcv its self.When do you go for cbc? I'm concerned about the t-anemia.I tried to find some imfo on it but nothing yet.

Dyce

[Mister beagle bailey]

I hope your eyes improve, It should start to get better soon.  I'm doing well, hardly any sx's.  Maybe it's because I'm geno  2B, who know's.  Don'y worry about spacecoast4/ he or she is Kalio2. Think about it, he has not asked 1 question about Hep C.  All he cares about is getting  us up set, we all need to ignore him/her.  I hope you feel better soon.  How many shots have you had?

Stay well, think only of the good and the day of SVR.

[NYgirl]

Ah it's so hard waiting for them but I'm sure you will do just fine!  I kept calling and calling...I think I was on the phone UNTIL the minute they came in.

I have no patience. Maybe this is the life lesson of hep. ;-)

BEST of luck!

[MrsOckert]

Nope you didn't miss anything yet.  The PCR report isn't back yet.  The labs were drawn last Friday so it's just the simple stuff that's back.  The nurse called because of the TSH being so out of whack.

I have an apt with the dr next Monday and that's when I'll find out the results of the PCR.  I'm actually being very patient.  As soon as I find out the results I'll post them.

Thank you for asking.  Valorie

[NYgirl]

I was wondering that as well - the lack of energy and ovewhelming fatigue was surely an indicator of the anemia for me.  Although it hit at week 3 or so it can come on any time I'd imagine!

You had your 12 week labs? I must have missed your PCR results ... sorry about that how did you do?  :)
