medicines and pain releif

[kwp]

ive recently been diag. i am having shooting pains in the liver area what pain meds help also what should i expect from now on. my first G.I. appointment next month. is there really treatment that will help.? does milk thissle help? and last ive purchases a pulsar machine does anyone know of it or if it works i know it's expiermental.

don't know anything about the pulsar machine.

What have you been diagnosed with - what genotype, what grade, what stage?

If you have hep-c i know you have to be careful of what pain meds you take.  some don't agree with the liver.

and, yes, there is treatment.

good luck.

Keith;

At best, colloidal silver is ineffective; and *can* be toxic. Here is a counterpoint to the proponents of the product. From Quackwatch:

http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html


�Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base. Long-term use of silver preparations can lead to argyria, a condition in which silver salts deposit in the skin, eyes, and internal organs, and the skin turns ashen-gray. Many cases of argyria occurred during the pre-antibiotic era when silver was a common ingredient in nosedrops. When the cause became apparent, doctors stopped recommending their use, and reputable manufacturers stopped producing them. The official drug guidebooks (United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary) have not listed colloidal silver products since 1975.�

The picture of the couple in the article with the black eyes is enough to scare me off. My uneducated advice is to stay away from that cr@p. Make sure that you have your doctor�s blessings prior to taking any meds�whether prescription, OTC, or supplements.

Take care�

Keith- If you haven�t done so already, take a look at the following site:

http://janis7hepc.com/

Click on �just diagnosed� in the blue box. Spend a few hours reading through this site, as well as Medhelp to better familiarize yourself with this disease. Then make a list of questions for your doctor appointment; you�ll be much better informed and able to ask some pertinent questions from your busy doctor. Continue to ask questions as needed in here- there�s usually someone here that will be happy to help you.

Take care,

Bill
