Man-o-Man. What a bummer. You were really a trooper though tx, and I too just assumed you would make it. All my best brother!
Well gosh, return, if I had had your address, I probably would have sent you a hep C microbe! They are cute you know - at least since I have to co-habit with them I may as well think that! I think I should have a good "season" this year. Hope to anyway. Sounds like you are on a good road to recovery -- and I agree with you that is will take up to a year to feel totally normal.
frijole
beam - you can't post over there either? See my new thread up top and voice your opinion.
I don't want a new screen name.
Return -- how goes it? ARe you getting busy workwise? Do you find that your cognative thinking is better? I think mine is. Now I get to see how many mistakes I made last year.......
frijole
one sentence says it all. This is new and improved? Try to comment to someone about their comments. When you figure it out let me know.
Definitely better, actually looking forward to tax year this year! The fog and dizziness are pretty much gone - 90% at least - the good days outnumber the bad - recovery comes in waves almost with each wave getting longer and more pronounced. Hoping to be totally back to normal by one year anniversary of tx ending - June 1st. Amazing how long it takes for all this stuff to wash out! At any rate, I am still waiting for my little hepc molecule. Are you passing out memorabilia? I do have a lot of hepc momentos, dry skin, bad eyes, puffy stomach, bad digestion, weak legs, poor sleep - but no molecule at least no dead molecules not living in my brain or heart or some recess like that. Good to hear from you, I havent been around much, decided to take a little break from all this fun. See ya!
I am sorry to hear the news... & sorry that I did not see it earlier...
I know how devistated I was when I recieved that blow, & it wasn't very pretty ... I wish there was something that I could say or do to make you feel better, but also know that I can't...just don't ever give up Faith & Hope... & the rest will fall into place..... I know this won't help much but you'll be in my thoughts & prayers.....
Hang In There!
Damn This Insidious Disease!!!
;(
You relapsed??? Awwwww,,,,I'm so sorry,,,I just knew you had it beat! I feel so bad for you! I wish there was some magical something I could do to make you feel better but you are definitely in my prayers!! That just sucks big time!!
I guess you already thought of this but, given my experience with false positives, I might suggest a follow up test from a different lab just to make sure. Take it from me, these tests are not always accurate. I took the NGI/Labcorp UltraQual as a follow up to a postitive PCR from Quest.
On a personal note, I know how devistating this kind of result can be and I am so very sorry that this happened. I'm not sure if it provides any solice but any result - positive or negative - carries consequences and challenges. There is no green grass on either side of this hill. No matter where you land, to see the rainbow you always have to look up.
I'm getting this feeling of sadness for me from your comments. Don't be. I am really okay with it and look forward to methods of treatment one day. I tried. Trying is the most important part it means we didn't give up. I am lucky to be in good health and low viral load counts. Mentally I am feeling really good about myself and physically I have shaken off about half of the drug side affects. We have brothers and sisters that have far greater problems than I that need attention and support so do what you do best. Hang onto them and love them!!! Love to all, Dale
I don't care what you said about sadness. I am VERY saddened by your news of relapes. You went to the entrance of hell treating this virus and I wanted you to win this fight.
P.S. are you still at vettehead1951?
so sorry to hear the news , but im most greatful to hear your good attitude towards it, im worried, i will have my 3 month post in a few weeks....it gives me inspiration to keep a good attitude up to......
I'm always on the wrong side at the wrong time. I went to The Forum today because I couldn't get on there last night. I went ahead and posted over there because I didn't know if you would visit the community. Now I read your comments and realize you don't really need much support, you are strong. I debated on what to say but felt like I wanted to commend your courage. It came out all wrong, but hey!,I was trying!:)

It to saddens me to hear of anyone trying to beat this thing and does not succeed. And at the same time, I am really glad to see that you have a fantastic attitude. That alone, will help you in the long run to try to beat this thing again, at another time, when you are ready. Take a break and enjoy life, which I know you will. I think all of us have a new appreciation for life. Our family has always said 'I love you' but now it is ' I LOVE YOU'. Little irratations have dissapeard for the most part (other then when the drugs get to me). Yikes
Pat
I haven't read about your relapse, but am so so sorry to hear it! Yep, if we were all on one side perhaps I would have seen your post. YUCK! What are you plans now?
Boy oh boy - do I hate hearing about relapses! I'm really sad to hear this.
