CHARACTER ASSASINATIONS WILL STOP NOW!
This is pointed to Chevygal55 and all others who think that they can post anything in this forum, including unsubstantiated lies - STOP IT NOW!
You are WAY out of line with your continuous postings about Teresa Hanbey. Med Help has tried to be nice about this whole matter, but you just don't seem to get it.
Another website had Teresa Hanbey listed as a doctor - BIG DEAL! SO WHAT? Mistakes happen and Ms. Hanbey contacted them as soon as she became aware of the error. It is FIXED.
As I stated in a posting yesterday, I imagine there are websites out there that have Phil or I listed as physicians. Let me make this clear for you...WE ARE NOT DOCTORS!
Ms. Hanbey received $17K in salary SO WHAT? Do you work for free? Do you think Med Help personnel work for free? Who among you puts in 60 hour weeks for no pay?
If Ms. Hanbey is asking people for donations - SO WHAT? How else is she or any other organization supposed to support their efforts? Here's a thought, you could just say "NO"!
Your nasty insinuation that Med Help is being "bought off" by Teresa Hanbey was the last straw. Who do you think you are to post such a viscious lie about Med Help? Do you realize what kind of damage you have done to our reputation? A reputation that we have killed ourselves trying to build and protect for 11 years!
If I see ONE more posting in which you are spreading lies about ANYONE, I will block you from posting and take all necessary steps to protect the good name of Med Help International.

You STILL don't get it do you?
MED HELP REMAINS NEUTRAL REGARDING TX. Just because we stepped in to stop the character assassination of Teresa Thanbey does NOT mean that we support her theories re: tx. It does not mean that we DO NOT support her theories either! We are Neutral!
We banned those who broke the rules and will continue to do so to protect the integrity of our forum. Our rules are simple and clear - if you threaten a person, you will be banned.
Some may think it is OK to completely trash Ms. Thanbey and Med Help in an open Internet forum, under the guise of "opinion" and "hunches" but Med Help does not! Do you realize that every single thing you post here can be picked up by the media and spread across the world as gospel? Yet you tell US that WE are being UNFAIR to those who broke the rules. Where were YOU when people's lives and integrity were being shattered? Why didn't YOU speak up about fairness then?
In addition, while it may be far more exciting to believe the conspiracy theories put forth by Balrog and Cuteus, that Med Help will only allow those who agree with us to remain in the forum, the simple truth is that we are so small we don't have the staff necessary to sit for hours going "comment" by "comment" to remove the offending posts. Therefore I removed whole threads and as many "comments" as I could find. Sadly, some of the threads may have contained great information from wonderful, supportive people and it is unfortunate that they were deleted.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST is what we ask. Think about the consequences of your words!! Even if you believe you have irrefutable FACTS - DO NOT POST ANYTHING DERROGATORY ABOUT ANYONE IN ANY MED HELP FORUM!!!
Any questions you have can be sent via e-mail to me and I'll do my best to give you the best answer I can.

Glad your mouth is better. We have to be grateful for every good thing.
Actually, "next year in Jerusalem" has been said by Jews for the last 2,000 years while in exile, and every year at the Passover seder to this day. but yeah...I'll go for that, next year in Jerusalem, better times for all of us, please.
I scared myself last night, because I started to cry and after a while I was weeping loudly and uncontrollably. That's the first time that ever happened, but I think I've just been trying to hard to not give in to those feelings. Thank goodness I'm on ADs or I'd probably cry all the time.
Today's a new day and I don't feel so awful anymore...not great but good enough and I'll take it! You have a good weekend Audrey...and everyone who's doing their shot tonight, I'll be thinking of all of you (I do mine Mondays)

I have to laugh, I am on the same regime for mouth stuff. I have the lidocaine, I started taking L-Lysine and also folic acid, after someone here said it too helped the mouth sores. (I research after getting suggestions, and found those statements to be reinforced.) Also, I have every over the counter mouth healer you can imagine. A small pharmacy.
I will be doing shot 11 in 2 days. my mouth (right now, no need to tempt the mouth sore gods) is not hurting much altho it still feels kind of raw. They have me on only 600mg a day right now of riba due to the mouth sores, which had gotten, at their worst, almost unbearable.
My sides vary from hour to hour. My stomach/colon/intestines seem to belong to someone else. Same with my psyche, mostly I am borderline ok, but when I am not , I AM NOT. I think the high dose of zoloft I am on helps me to fight what I could feel would be dangerous depression. I am off to see my shrink in a few minutes. I hope I have the day right!!
Take care, lets hope for us all better days are ahead. There is a saying I love, it was said by the imprisoned Jews during WWII;
"next year in Jeruseulem" or in my understanding, better times ahead...

I get the impression that as long as certain dissenting opinions and jokes don't mention a specific person by NAME, it will be allowed to remain in the thread.
Dissenting opinions, even if stated as such, and in a respectful manner might still get zapped. I am confused also. I guess is that old phrase: we reserve the right . The key it seems is direct mentioning of names.
I am sad to see in above posts , people shutting people up, and the post remains.
Confusing.
I am happy the personal attacks might be stopping, some were vicious.
now if we could dissent without getting zapped.
I am truly grateful for the contributions of all that take the time to care, and sorry that some statements might have gotten misinterpreted.

Dirac, what wonderful news! I'm thrilled for you. Good health always.
Downthisroad, thanks for articulating so beautifully what we all mean to each other and why we come here. You reminded me of all the wonderful people here. Thanks again.
Cindy, thank you for setting things straight and thank you and Phil for this board. It means so much to so many.

Crybaby, nice to see you on our screens again....
Dirac, congratulations, that is the biggest hurdle of them all...
Scott, Indiana did not wait to post...he has already commented on the issues. Of course, the peg/Riba are the only things that can kill the hep off but we mustn't forget two things
a)half the people who put themselves through this will not get cured
b)these meds do damage, some of it permanent, so they are not to be taken lightly
The stuff about healthy eating is very important, and not just for hep C. I read yesterday that obesity has taken over from smoking as the biggest preventable killer in the US. Alcohol is way,way behind. There is evidence that the interferon/Riba do not work as well in fat people and that the hepatitis is more rampant. A lot of people on this site talk about alcohol being "miracle grow" for HCV and come down hard on anyone who has just the odd drink, but then they mention they weigh 260 pounds or something....incredible!

HEY!!!!! I was just thinking we should open a thread to ask that question. I posted to Willing... down below. I can't ever get to post a question except maybe on week-ends. I use my husband's laptop, we don't have a home computer. So if you can post it, please do!!! I would love to know the lingering effects. I was told I have tissue damage from the tx. I will have more news Tues P.M. I see my pain doc on that day. I love ya bunches girl! I hope you are feeling good these days....remind me again where you are on tx.....(brain fog) I'm 4 months post and waiting on 1st blood work done last Thurs. since I have finished tx on Nov 6th!!!!! Much love to all and many prayers, Cindee
dirac......HI.
Oh how I remember you and your encouragement and strength when I only first started my treatment. I looked up to you and all those others who 'were almost to the finish line' and remember saying to myself day afer day.....will I ever be as far into treatment as they? Well....I am. I'm nearing my 48th week actually next week. I will do a 12 week extension of the meds past my 48 weeks......but I'm workin all that out with myself. What has to be done will be done!!
OH well.... I wasn't to excited about this extension deal as you can imagine. I've been on this roll of the 'BLUE FUNK' feeling ever since I found out about my continuation of the drugs however.......
there are certain people on this forum who convince me to keep 'going down this road' along with so much encouragement from my doctors that I am starting (yes I said starting) to accept this and feel way better and more comfortable. Yesterday and today have been good days for me.....you know.....dirac....it took a minute or too for this extension benefit to sink into the old nogin!!
On on a very very HAPPY NOTE TO YOU.......Congratulations on your wonderful news. YOU ARE A TOTAL TREATMENT SUCCESS STORY.....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY OL FRIEND - YOU are WINNING.

WHAT? What kind of tissue damage? Permanent tissue damage? What is happening to you?
THIS scares me. Could you explain in detail?

I am very glad you are still clear dirac I remember your help and ecouragement when I first started.
Cindy I agree with you whole hardly about thanbey I do not feel she is trying to harm anyone.
I just went to my Dr whom I respect alot and he talks to all the big wigs in Denver and said to me today "Bob, you know no one really knows, we are all trying to make sense of this thing and when you are done with tx we will see where you are at and get a game plan."
To me that is honest and I feel thanbey is also trying in her way, pro tx or not to help I did not feel she is against tx I feel she is just trying to point, again from her point of veiw the pros and cons. We all are adults here and we make our own descions about whether to treat or not, period.
Peace Guys and Gals lets get on with what we have to do and support eachother like we have in the past.
GOD BLESS

I am very sorry that it had to get to the point where you needed to step in, I to have my doctor checking in now and then and felt embarrassed that he would have to read some of the nonsense that goes on here.I am so grateful for this site and hope to be able to come back here in years and see that it is still able to help ease other peoples fears like it has mine.
Cindy........OH YEAH BABY.....I am SO happy that your feathers finally got ruffeled by all this stuff. Hey...We tried to calm them down. It seems that some cannot see the difference between disagreeing with the information and attacking the person who may post it. I am with you and Phil ALL the way. Phil helped me a LONG time ago with the pop-up problem(even if it meant discontinuing a fund raising mechanism) and THAT showed how much you 2 care about all of us. I explained and he understood. THAT got my attention BIG TIME.
I too will not stand for anyone putting down this site. I had NOBODY to help me through my tx. This was the only place for me. You and Phil and this site are the primary reasons why I retained my sanity throughout it all. I can NEVER thank you enough. You 2 may never know how many you have helped to live. A heartfelt THANK YOU is all I can say.
Thanby is also a person with information to share. Wether we agree or not....her info is relevent to the discussion. She posts links to her site.......SO WHAT? Thats where the info she has is kept! Of course she sends you there. Just cuz they ask for funds means nothing as far as the potential info is concerned.
She is called a doc........She IS. She has a PHD I believe. So what if it isn't a medical degree. She is a highly educated person and knows how to research. Folks with a PHD "deserve" to be called "doctor". If YOU think that is misleading....get over it.
She has always been polite and cordial here. To attack her personally is just plain wrong.
I don't care if she gets some money for doing her work. She deserves it! Do any of US have a web site that we maintain for the benefit of others? The paltry amount that she supposedly gets is pretty slim fo someone with a doctorate....in anything. I believe she does this for a higher reason.
If you really have a problem with the INFO she posts...then refute the "information"....NOT the person.
There is NO conspiracy here or with her. She really does NOT work for Haliburton or George Bush after all. But she MAY be an ALIEN from MARS... we do have landers there right now and I am SURE that "must" be there mission there.........to check out Thanby. She MAY have ultimately wiped out that whole civilization after all. Give me a break you guys..... The whole thing has gottan REALLY "Old".
We need to stick to the issues at hand.....HCV. We are all here to beat The Dragon. To kill it or hold him back. ...either way we win. Hold him back long enough and you will die of something else. Kill it and you will STILL die of something else. It's all a matter of perspective ....isn't it?
THANK YOU CINDY. You and Phil can NEVER be thanked enough for all you do............

Hey! Congratulations to you! Its always great to hear svr on this board!! Keep coming and inspiring us!!
This is GREAT news! I am very very very happy for you! You were one of my favorite people on this site when I started treatment! You always had nice and encouraging words for me and other participants. Good luck with everything!

Thank you Cindy for keeping us on track and focused on our real work.
I was feeling bad not to be able to get to the board for the last few days, but now I'm glad I missed all the commotion. I still haven't managed to completely rid myself of the queaziness and nausea that remain from the madness that followed injection #12 on Monday....Since I'm no longer violently ill, as I was Monday night and Tuesday, things are definitely looking up.
Anyway, I just want to say that I'm glad I missed the icky stuff and I'm glad it's over. I would be lost without this board and without the hopes and good wishes and caring that flow among ALL of us here. I'm so grateful to Cindy and Phil and to all of you who choose to be part of this forum, whether I agree with you or not. Other people's views, even when they differ markedly from my own, are just that: their views. Sometimes I learn something and sometimes I don't. Isn't it just the craziest thing that we can all come at something from a different angle? Wouldn't it be boring if we all agreed on everything?
I've always gone on the assumption that we're all sharing whatever we hope will be helpful to each other. If something proves not to be helpful, so what...at least someone tried to reach us with what they thought was a positive message or idea. We're each free to read or skip posts, accept or reject whatever information is offered, post or not post, without feeling threatened by it.
Now that I got that out of the way, I have to tell anyone who can stand hearing this again that I feel SO AWFUL!!!@!! I'm irritable, and itchy and still nauseated (since Monday) most of the time, although I can finally eat some now and keep it down. I want to cry all the time and I can't believe I made so much sense in the first part of this post, because my brain has now done a complete 180 degree turn and I'm about to launch into my "poor me" song. Nothing is making me feel better, and usually something does. I'm so tired...36 more weeks to go...sounds like such a long time.

What will really get me upset and would be a tremendous lose in my life is if I loose my friends and this board who I have come to depend on for support and information. I just didn't start out a couple of weeks, or 8 weeks ago or even 30 weeks ago on this treatment course. I will reach my goal of 48 weeks next week and it hasn't come easily and what I'm trying to handle right now for the moment is extended time on these meds.
Raheem my friend who is so gentle and understanding is right beside me with tx weeks, RAL who is dear to me because of his support and stamina that he shows to himself and everyone, GALEN who I always admire for what she has accomplished, INDY who makes me laugh and cry, HARLEY who has entered this treatment course with only grace and courage, my dear SHEEBEE who always reminds me to keep my glasses on and move forward NO MATTER WHAT, the blessed Majneni who has helped everyone so very much and been so uplifting and informational for all of us, willing who is our private research specialist, britgirl who is so strong and loving at the same time, dollface who told me it is hard....really hard but ya gotta do it, OHC who was always the bright spot of the day with the explanation of her day and putting together her website, mikesimon who reminds me that my road isn't as tough as I think it may be, and even minn who struggled through this treatment phase and had it so difficult working like I remember 14 hours a day hard labor work on this medicine, tosser who is always here to help and give great advise, foreigngirl who is a friend to all of us and a friend forever, caruu who I have personally coached along and supported to get through her treatment, MichaelT aka:FATBOY who will hold all of us in his heart forever, lackaluster who tells it like it really is and has always been so very dear to all of us, Eyedeas who I enjoy so much for his creativity and who takes our minds away from the medicine for a few minutes, MRBILL with all his struggles and determination, joni who always gives good advice and a shoulder to cry on, dear Layla who I believe has to do more treatment weeks than anyone in this whole world, new-sojourn who recommended to me to smoke a joint even when all my doctors were puzzled why I was throwing up for 3 days solid, and all the many others who have grown so dear and near to me. There is NOTHING in this world that could ever pay them back for being so kind and gentle to me and just frankly being my FRIENDS in need.
Thank you Cindy for your now continued injunction with what has been going on and for the forum that you offer and keep going for us. I also commented back about yesterday regarding the harassment and continued degrading that I've seen go on with certain members of this forum for the past couple of weeks now. It doesn't seem natural for them and in their time of struggle, I believe that all the words may be comming out wrong. It is old however and doesn't really make any sense and isn't what this forum is about. I think I called it something like 'beating a dead horse'.
I don't really know if I depend more on this forum now to help me get through my extended weeks of treatment that I am facing or if I depended on this forum more my very first time that I took the meds. I just know that I depend on this forum and all of my dear friends and confidants that I have come to know, respect and love.
I've used this forum to gather information about my disease and the medical treatment of my disease. I have continued to completely depend on this forum in order to speak and converse with others who have my same disease. I also welcome the information that gets scattered through her regarding alternative ways to treat and recess the hepatitis C virus. Some days and comments are good and some days and comments are not so good but I have NEVER in the 14 months since I've been participating on medhelp.org seen conversation and remarks sink to the level that we been experiencing lately. Enough really is enough. I admire and stated that I admire and believe that Ms. THanby is a total professional with distributing her information that she has gathered with hepatitis C not only on her website, but on the healthboards and now here. I sort of get the hint and understand that there isn't much and aren't MANY people who dedicate their time in order to research this disease. People who have been stricken with this disease HAVE to research it in order to find out information but believe me, it is not by our choice. You are the first to know that information about hepatitis C is not made highly public right now and that there aren't too many who DON'T have this disease dedicating their time and effort towards research. I know that Ms. Hanby dedicated rather it is with medical treatment or with alternative type care. The fact is that she is one who is speaking about this disease and should be welcomed into any type of discussion or forum for just that mere purpose.
We can't pick and choose who can and cannot be on this this forum, but we can all pick and choose our words carefully!!
Raheem my friend who is so gentle and understanding is right beside me with tx weeks, RAL who is dear to me because of his support and stamina that he shows to himself and everyone, GALEN who I always admire for what she has accomplished, INDY who makes me laugh and cry, HARLEY who has entered this treatment course with only grace and courage, my dear SHEEBEE who always reminds me to keep my glasses on and move forward NO MATTER WHAT, the blessed Majneni who has helped everyone so very much and been so uplifting and informational for all of us, willing who is our private research specialist, britgirl who is so strong and loving at the same time, dollface who told me it is hard....really hard but ya gotta do it, OHC who was always the bright spot of the day with the explanation of her day and putting together her website, mikesimon who reminds me that my road isn't as tough as I think it may be, and even minn who struggled through this treatment phase and had it so difficult working like I remember 14 hours a day hard labor work on this medicine, tosser who is always here to help and give great advise, foreigngirl who is a friend to all of us and a friend forever, caruu who I have personally coached along and supported to get through her treatment, MichaelT aka:FATBOY who will hold all of us in his heart forever, lackaluster who tells it like it really is and has always been so very dear to all of us, Eyedeas who I enjoy so much for his creativity and who takes our minds away from the medicine for a few minutes, MRBILL with all his struggles and determination, joni who always gives good advice and a shoulder to cry on, dear Layla who I believe has to do more treatment weeks than anyone in this whole world, new-sojourn who recommended to me to smoke a joint even when all my doctors were puzzled why I was throwing up for 3 days solid, and all the many others who have grown so dear and near to me. There is NOTHING in this world that could ever pay them back for being so kind and gentle to me and just frankly being my FRIENDS in need.
Thank you Cindy for your now continued injunction with what has been going on and for the forum that you offer and keep going for us. I also commented back about yesterday regarding the harassment and continued degrading that I've seen go on with certain members of this forum for the past couple of weeks now. It doesn't seem natural for them and in their time of struggle, I believe that all the words may be comming out wrong. It is old however and doesn't really make any sense and isn't what this forum is about. I think I called it something like 'beating a dead horse'.
I don't really know if I depend more on this forum now to help me get through my extended weeks of treatment that I am facing or if I depended on this forum more my very first time that I took the meds. I just know that I depend on this forum and all of my dear friends and confidants that I have come to know, respect and love.
