Suboxone and HepC treatment

[Pauly Boy]

I've been trying to reach out to a fellow poster called NYGIRL because we have the same thing in common. I'm trying to decide to start TX with Pegassis and also I take Suboxone. I have not been able to speak with one person who has done this and I heard you have so, please e-mail me I need some help with this.

Thank You

good morning to all,

Amommy-- Did you get your PCR last week?  If you did when do you expect the results?

All-- Hope all are having a good day.

Thank You bobby, cuteus, and dyce,
Boy it's good to know that I can do TX and not have to wait for an answer for some other problem. Having a Dual problem like this can really screw you up. Thats why all the info we can give each other is so important, especially when there are things like this that can make a difference between something being a success and it being a failure.
What's the deal with the e-mail thingy. I wasn't aware of anything I did  being incorrect or against any type of board "rules". If I did tell me what it was. Thanx everyone and keep helping each other.

lilmomma: Problem with giving/getting support when the frustration level is gnawing through us is that in that mood we just don't wanna hear it. When I get all ticked and riba'd out all I want is a magic bullet answer. And yup-sleep is about the only thing that gets me out of it.
Gotta admit I like algernon's little wok thing. Keep telling myself I'm gonna get a 'Heavy Bag' to punch when I feel like that but I figure I'll pass out after 3 pinches so might as well just go to bed so I save myself the fall.
The thing that really kicks me is that I can be havin a good day or hour and then it just comes out with no warning. Hope you find a way to work through it. Maybe next time just come and post about some of the dum things they do at work. Get it out.
Ya got my prayer tonight, and Lady you are not invisible...sometimes we just miss the clear shining lights  when they need to be appreciated, like gems when we get caught up in their beauty and don't realize they have a scratch because we just really, really want em to be okay so bad.
Sleep serene, we see you,
Don

LilMomma I am sorry you had a bad day.  Monday isn't my favorite day either, EVER!  Pamper yourself in a bubble bath and take a little LilMomma time.  God gives us a new day every day, and I hope your tomorrow is better.

Dyce, four weeks is when my anemia kicked in.  Are you still having CBC's pretty often?  It sometimes takes a week or so to get the procrit approved.  My main symptom was tired and huffing and puffing going up and down stairs, walking distances.  It was amazing how much better I felt when the procrit kicked in.

Hey, you can't feel that way about stupid.  Stupid is genetic, they don't know any better.  IGNORANT, now thats a whole new can of worms.  My husbands philosophy in life is quite simple: the moment you assume the people around you have their head out of their @ss, your F***ing up.  I hate it when he's right, but on a daily basis,... well sounds like you know exactly what I mean. I dread the riba rage, so far, 7 shots in, it hasn't hit.  But I warned the people I work with. so the other day, I  Snuck up on a guy at work (turns out it wasn't who I thought it was...) and scared the holy **** out of the guy.  He's a foreign national, and I don't think he got it.... but he said "are you on medication?"  I just about died laughing!!!  I told him that was what was known as a good comeback.. still don't think he got it.... long sigh

You won't feel this way forever, Lilmomma.  Sleep sounds like a good strategy for tonight.

Here's a strategy for tomorrow.  My best friend invented this for me.  She gave me: (1) an empty silver pail, (2) a silver pail filled with 24 stones (or, for others, however many weeks of treatment you have), (3) a wok, and (4) a permanent marker.  Hang the wok in a tree.  Each week/shot day, take one stone from the full pail and write a word on it (it can be a mean, nice, religious, vile, riba-raged word--whatever you need/want).  Put the number of the week on the back of the stone.  Throw the stone and hit the wok.  Pick up the stone and put it in the empty bucket.

I started this in week 4 so I got to throw 4 stones on my first day. (You're further along--you get to throw more). When the second bucket is full of stones (that is, no more shots), you take the bucket and a bunch of friends/family to a special place (I'm going to a river) and each person you love throws the stones into the river (or wherever).  

I was at rock bottom when I started this ritual.  And it's really helped me.  My "empty" bucket is more than half full now (13/24).  Also, I have a special secret stash of stones for riba rage days.  They're just for throwing at the wok.  My 8 1/2 year old son loves to join me.

Throw some stones, girl.  With warmth, Deb
