[willbb]

Hmmm, and I used to like the fast gals.  :-)
---------------------------------

That was when you were a cyclist before becoming a tricyclist   or maybe these gals given this conversation prefer a  bi-cyclist

Cando: get tested

Dammit i knew you were a problem

[suezeeque]

I'm hurt.  ny told me I was the only one.  :~(  I need an AD.

We'd *already* be legal in Toronto.

[jules2551]

And leave my wife Ny alone...we are getting as soon as Supreme Court rules in our favor

[jules2551]

that's your problem...you have spend last night and today online on this forum.  Get off line and call your Dr.

[printze]

I was too busy at work no time , I definetly will put a call in on Monday.I will keep you posted, thanks for the concern.

[jules2551]

So did you call the Dr this morning?

[printze]

Yes that is correct, they told me from the 1st visit they send new patients who will be on triple tx to make sure  they are able to cope with the tx and  and if they need to be put on AD before tx. It was explained to me from the beginning , that's fine. I certainly don't want any mental issues from the drugs to deal with .This triple therapy seems to be one tough tx .That is why I listen TO THOSE who are currently tx with the new drugs and those who have completed the tx. Your comments are important to me .

[fretboard]

"It was funny opening my mail tonight and finding the appointment slip from the hospital for a psych evaluation, never had one or ever needed one before . I definetly am  not  suicidal or depressed , complete opposite , very happy easy going positive person. I think they sensed my fear of tx, of all the sx and if I can't work because I am alone , that's what I think."

It could be the doctor sent you for a psych exam to make absolutely certain you are aware and ready for tx.  just a guess tho'

[printze]

Why do always answer so nasty .

[nygirl7]

You're preaching to the choir.
Amen and amen!

[nygirl7]

But how can this doctor possibly have the slightest clue that you have minimal fibrosis? I had no symptoms at all and appeared perfectly healthy but biopsy showed me at stage 3. There is no way to tell without the test...how therefore can he put you t the bottom of the list?

I would want to know that! If he gives you some bs about blood work run out of there. I believe bloodwork can help determine cirrhosis...does he need to wait until you have that before giving you the proper tests?

If it takes so long to get the fibro insist on getting that bx right away, they should be able to book that pronto -why waste thousands and thousands of dollars if you don't even need to treat yet and say you are stage 3 wouldn't that help push you to the top of the list?

It makes no sense at all. Something is not right here from our experience it's all Azz backwards!

[printze]

I thought about that myself after reading the article. You could be right . It seems new things are being discovered about this new treatment since it became available . Perhaps the screening process has now changed .

[suezeeque]

If the article many of us have read (it's in a recent thread) is true, and doctors can only reasonably start 3 patients on triple therapy a week and still provide quality care...  Then it also stands to reason that they will choose those most in need of treatment to start.

I imagine that those with still healthy livers will take a back seat to those in more immediate danger.

Might be something you want to ask about.  "Since you've said I have no liver damage, am I even being *considered* for treatment at this time?"

[printze]

Thank you, that is what I am going to do . I am very nice when I see them always, I apologize for venting,  these past months are wearing on me . I will take all the advice I can from everyone , you are all very helpful and I am grateful to have you to listen to me and help me make some sense of this.

[jules2551]

Sorry we crossed posts!  Ask you Dr for some anxiety medication.  He will probably be happy to help you out in those terms.  I am sure he realizes you are anxious and stressed to the max.
