C5  NYGIRL THAT IS YOUR OPINION AND YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT. I KNOW ALL OF THE SX I MENTIONED WERE ALSO THE SAME SIDES THAT I GOT WHILE ON TREATMENT. LET ME JUST RE-CLARIFY, MY MOTHER AND MY DAUGHTER AND MY ONLY SISTER HAVE HYPOTHYRODISH, HUH GUESS THAT ALSO MADE ME A CANIDATE. ONCE AGAIN, MY HEP C CLASSES SAID IF I WERE EVER GOING TO HAVE THYROID PROBLEMS THE MEDS. WOULD SPEED UP THE PROCESS. ON YEA, ONE OTHER THING I LOSSED 33 POUNDS DURING 6 MOS. OF TREATMENT AND WITHIN 2 MOS. OF STOPPING TREATMENTS I HAD PUT 18 OF IT BACK ON, KINDA QUICK DON'T YOU THINK? WELL ANYWAY LIKE I SAID YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION BUT I TEND TO BELIEVE MY MD WHO REALLY TAKES HIS TIME WITH ME AND ANSWERS ALL MY QUESTIONS UNLIKE MY HEP DOC. AFTER THIS POST I HAVE NO DESIRE TO COME BACK TO READ COMMENTS SUCH AS YOURS!

Who said I'm a pup....  Saw your post to me before, RUFF RUFF LOL
My wife will fly into NY 6/8 as we have a reunion on the 10th and we will fly home TOGETHER 6/12 ......   No more trips to NY for treatment I hope.  My doc is doing a PCR after my 22nd shot, if I'm still undetectable 24 weeks will be it, but if I'm not then I'll continue tx without a break in treatment.

How are you doing?

The swollen paw has gone down, finally.  But I feel like sh*t and can't eat.  I'm down to 149lbs and with 3 weeks left I can't believe I'm having bad sxs.  The sxs now are worse then any other time durning treatment.
How are you doing?

I sure hope your day goes better tomorrow.  I can't imagine NYgirl saying anything that would upset you so.  She is always there to help.  Just maybe you took what was said the wrong way.

OK, couple of the facts.  It can't be about yall, because its about ME!!  That is the reality, live with it!!

Lets start a panties in a wad thread.... for some reason, I havent had that problem lately... maybe its because my @ss is dragging so low, that keeps the panties in the crack issue at bay...

Can man, dyce, hows your panties doing/??  Why do my boys hate it when I ask them if they have clean panties??

Trying to have a conversation via computer listserv or email is extremely difficult because you cannot see facial expressions, body language or hear how the message is voiced.  I stopped conversing with people via email on important topics since there were so many misunderstandings.  With all the posts in this forum I am quite surprised that there is not more of this.  

It is quite a testament to the people on this board who are thoughtful, helpful, patient, empathetic, kind, and bright - and NYG you are definitely the flag bearer here.  

Then again, people here are trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly ...... naw that's the boy scouts - I get heppers and boy scouts mixed up all the time.  Gotta remember that there is no combo treatment yet for boy scout - oh noooo, just kidding all you scouts out there LOL - of which NYGirl you are definitely the flag bearer - ohhh just kidding, we all know there are no boy scouts in NY - ohhh just kidding, New Yorkers, we love NY and know that you killed off all the scouts a long time ago - omg I cant stop!

yeah, my doctor said it could definately be because of my lacerated liver... I do the bx in 6 days.  I cant wait!  Also I am 3A, and I have been reading a TON about 3A's and Liver Stetosis.  Apparantly 3a's have a much higher rate of expanded liver and uncomfortability than others, and with the Lacerated liver I am a good canidate for uncomfortability and enlargement.

this forum makes me feel like such a hyper active newbie, but I love it... I feel like Hammy on the right...

I read it, Ohgreat and I remember I felt the same way after my first couple of threads.  Once I figured out why people do that, it didn't bother me at all.

I hope you understand WHAT i meant and maybe NOT what I SAID.

I think they should give hand-out cards with exactly those words packaged with every bottle of ribavirin sold :) Hope you're doing OK considering. Have you decided on doing a consultation with Dr. J yet?

Be well.

Said: Hopefully, I'm not misreading you, but periodic thyroid testing is important during HCV treatment, symptons or not.


YES I TOTALLY AGREE.  The only thing I said or meant to say is...do not go out and get a test just because your hair starts to fall out and you lose weight and have brittle nails because THAT IS ALSO the VERY common common sides of the regular treatment.  I TOTALLY agree that periodic testing is done...in fact if mine WASNT I wouldn't know my thyroid kicked the bucket.

I just didn't want newbies reading and saying wow I lost weight! Wow I am losing hair I have to run out and get a thyroid test!!!

Can you imagine how many people who didn't realize the symptoms or THYROID DISEASE MIRROR THE SYMPTOMS of treatment (and well about 100000 other diseases LOL)

That's all. I certainly didn't mean don't be tested...!

I hope you understand WHAT i meant and maybe NOT what I SAID.  I have enough trouble these days getting the words out of my brain and to my MOUTH (I asked my mom if she wanted a leg in her tea...I meant SUGAR...well you should have seen her face at that when I said do you want a leg in your tea? (I was scratching my own leg at the time).....let alone from my head to my fingers and on to the internet you know?

Thanks Jim. As always the most counted on council one can find.

PS I am only on thyroid meds because I wasn't already taking enough pills so I went out and whacked my neck with a hammer until I killed it off ;)  


Got pills?
