cajun- Thanks for the update. Hope all goes well with your Dad. Interesting about your friend. One of the first guys to help me out with this was guy I met in recovery who has MS. He is on and off interferon on a regular basis. Knew my concerns and talked to me about how he gets through. Funny combo too, him a policeman and well, then there's me. I wish you all well.

goldyn- thanks also for posting. Man you sure have your hands full. I know when I was a kid(6 of us( we passed strep back and forth so much every winter I eventually developed an allergy to penicillin. Hang in there, sounds like you got plenty of experience to help you het through.
Be Well,
Don

I have noticed your post twice now on a few people.  Thanks for asking.  I too, like you have had a situation with my father back home.  His doctors found a spot on his thyroid. (Keep in mind my father has been chocking for years, had a hernia removed and other things done) well when they went in to remove the thyroid, it had wrapped itself around his asophycus (? spelling), doctor said it was UUUGGly in there.  I looked at my mom and said no wonder the man has been chocking for years.  Best news, everything was benign. While I was home I also found out my dearest, most closest friend has been diagnosed with multiple sclorosis; already has brain lesions.  That was a blow to me.  We just cried and laughed and cried and laughed and hugged each other for about an hour; what are you going to do; I with hep c and now her.  She is not computer savy, so I brought her to the computer and showed her how to Google and get other info.; it did help her understand a little more and that they can give her quality of life through medications and thearpy.

For me, I go day for day.  That is all you can do for the most part.  I have reached more for my faith alot lately.  And, in turn it has helped me fine tune the character defects once again.  I am still on NO Rescue drugs.  Only tylenol; not that I do not have pain and discomfort and hard nights to get to sleep; because I do. I just choose to stay with tylenol until I can not anymore.

Thanks for being concerned.

Thoughts on the Charley's

Someone asked if you were eating bananas.  Just want to say that if you want more potassium, eat potatoes and peanuts--both are at the top of the list to supply potassium.  Surprisingly, bananas are somewhere in the middle.

Also, water, water, and more water.

there will be NO 'backdoor' concessions,

Seems I spent half my life chasing the elusive backdoor consession... typically fruitlessly (in all meanings of the word), of course.  

Maybe this is best handled by Big Chuck. Word is he can be pretty persuasive when it comes to acqiuring the backdoor consession. Time to oil the saddle beamie?

[FlGuy]

What's going on with your insurance?  You mentioned it ends on March 1.  Will you be able to continue tx?

[beamishboy]

We are missing a few;more than i can remember-lol!!....how 'bout our friend in Costa Rica?....if yu guys are out there,drop us a note-inqiuiring minds are melting
Goofy: the very thot that you would want to turn a dollar out of my equine encounters-neigh sir!!! i would not sully the stable w pursuit of filthy lucre;unless,perhaps we could discuss %  going forward say 50/50 and we split production costs:hay doesn't grow on trees& keeping all that leather harness suitably supple(reduces chafin)takes elbow grease-one way or another the elbows always figure into the equation..So,having addressed our concerns,and assuming you are amendable to our needs,we will consider your offer,but ,let me assure you:there will be NO 'backdoor' concessions,we do have standards....

can do Wait, I thought I was told, 'Sink oars,
swim."

lilmoma- They are awesome. People here aren't about 'getting over it,' they're about 'getting through it.'

Tselere-Let us know how your Dad  makes out with the fever. Last week cause my Dad had a urinary tract infection, I made sure we take his temp first thing in the morning, before he takes any tylenol type stuff that may mask how high his temp really was. Your Dad is probably very proud to have such a sweetheart for a daughter.

I agree, sounds like pms, I wonder though if she is the woman that gave me my EKG? Sure sounds like it. Did she tell you to take a number? lol

[mikesimon]

She was a misserable idiot regardless of her cycle. Mike

[Dale_Ray]

WEll they must have been tripletts and all settled into the medical field. One of the sisters is in Memphis TN and enjoys coming at you with sharp objects. Dale

[FlGuy]

I would call the pharmacy, and trying to muster all the possible cool and deameanor, ask and insist on speaking with a supervisor/mgr of the area.  Get the mgr's name and phone number for future use. Suggest to the mgr. that you are very concerned because the rep is giving med schedule instructions that are counter to your doc's orders.  Let them know that you are aware of the refill process and the criticality of having the meds at your disposal, according to your doctors wishes and direction. Susan, you of all people have the right to be irritated to the max.  Put it aside for a sec and use the cool determination that you have had through TX x 7.  Get a name and phone/email info.  Kick butt.

[cuteus]

glad you reminded me of that one! your story made me think of that movie 'meet the parents' where Ben stiller is the only passenger to board, and the gate agent makes him wait to board, until she has called his row! I could not believe the similarities! I hope you can laugh about it now!

btw, it was cardiokickboxing, where I fake kicks and punches into the air, much like what I do here...

[lilmoma]

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAN DO, BEAMISH,LADY,****, I CANT REMEMBER ANYMORE NAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. ALL THOSE SWEET POSTS HELPING ME WITH MY LIL FREAKIN HEAD-TRIPS. I AM MUCH BETTER, THANKS FOR NOT JUST TELLING ME "TO GET OVER IT" YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE YOU CATCH THIS POST SINCE I HAD TO PUT IT UNDER A DIFFERENT THREAD

LILMOMA

[can-do-man]

Yeah i've laugh about it, even more when i've dropped off a few of those postage paid comments cards in the mail. You call it cardiokickboxing i call it kickboxing, one thing for sure is whether its here or in the real world i sure don't want to be on the receiving end of it. "YIKES"

[can-do-man]

All geez thanks, and yes i know im one of those sweet ones, (blushing here), not to sure about some of thoses other ones though. A Few here don't have both oars in the water, but they know who they  are. Right goof, flguy, beam, Jim, strator, dale, bb, mike and some others i know i missed.

PS hows charley doing? still biting ya?

[lilmoma]

OMG! yes, biting at me is putting it nice. I have to be real careful how I use the muscle in my legs or they go into a cramp.
Today, my mouth is going completely raw, I drink till I nearly drown, so it is not from lack of fluids.
Tomorrow, I go see the vampires.

This is off topic but all the others were used up.

I had an annoying thing happen this morning with my mail order pharmacy.  The 'patient care representative' was very rude to me.  I was called to place my order for my next medication delivery.  They always ask me how many shots I have left.  Usually, I have to go and look and count them.  This time I was prepared (Remember, I'm on daily shots of Infergen)  Well, this so called patient care rep was the furthist thing from caring.  She raised her voice at me 'why do you need these shots delivered so early, YOU are on a schedule!'  I told her, "I KNOW that, but I only have 6 shots left and you don't deliver on a Mon., which means that I'll be out for my Tues. night shot".  She was trying to tell me that I could just wait and get it on Wed.  So, I explained again for like the 3rd time, that I cannot 'wait' because I am on DAILY shots and have been straight along, so WHY was this such a problem for her to set me up for a Tues. delivery??  She finally gives me this huge sigh and places my order.  

My being a female I can say that I believe that this woman was so unreasonable that I believe she must have been on the RAG!

Hey where and more importantly HOW ARE YOU ALL? Hope your all doing well and life is just keeping you busy?

[can-do-man]

Hey dude, wouldn't want ya to sink or drown. You know we love and care about you man. (Just not in the same way big chuck does though).

Slow down and try to get some sleep tonight, ok?

[sunspot]

I did not have a fever/chills until my third wk of tx. It went up to 102 and lasted for 5 days, on and off, with a slight decrease in temp every day. Afer that episode, I carried tylenol with me a all times due to cluster days of fever.
Please let us know how high your Dad's temp went and I hope everything goes good for you and him.
