About Me: Female, 57, portland - OR, member since Jul 2007
wife, mother, former physical therapist/teacher. owner of 3 businesses, currently retired as a writer doing abridgements of classic lit. for major chain stores and as a volunteer teacher/minister to at risk teens,  and mostly hep C tx'er/ couch potato thanks to little b ... [More] uggers run amuck in my innards.

likes:
people,animals,gardening,antiquing,ebaying,writing, teaching, encouraging, laughing, beaches, theme parks,stupid Utube animal/people pranks; and yes even barbie dolls, and especially Jesus... so what!

dislikes:
hep c.,  arrogance, clueless or non-quizical doctors/pill pushers who cannot think outside the box (it's supposed to be an inquisitve caring attentive profession), being treated like a leper, steryotyping, paranoid/conspiratorial, and/or snail/slug/stuck types.

Hoping to learn and share, and help others sort things out, as others have done for me.
Praying to kick B on Hep C and play with grandchildren.

Hi merryBe! i have a quick question for you: what do you think about possibly taking biotin supplements during tx? my hair is taking forever to grow and i'm losing more hair at the same time. i've done some research and it doesn't seem like it would affect tx in anyway... and i've already sent an email to my PA asking about it, but she hasn't returned my email... thanks! and have a great day!
