Where's your perspective?
A devotional from Mr. Charles R. Swindoll was sent across my mailbox today which contained a couple of thoughts which I found encapsulate the perspective I have tried to embrace since being diagnosed, attempting treatment, finding out the treatment failed me, and receiving a report last Wednesday that the very treatment which was supposed to help me may have resulted in me now having a diabetic condition.
The following are those thoughts which I would like to share with all of you:

I too would like to thank you folks for your kind words and thoughts. After having tx fail me, I found I needed to step back and focus more on putting it behind me and putting more attention towards my family. After 10 months of recovery followed by 10 months of HCV treatment, I felt I needed to put more attention towards them. When coupled with work, helping a Recovery church which started a few months ago, getting involved with a Compassion Center, and some of the other areas I'm trying to help in, it has left me with precious little time for much else.
Now as of last week I find myself in need of embarking on another journy to try and locate a competent doctor to help with my possible diabetes condition and again feeling frustrated at how difficult it can be at times. I must say though that it has opened my eyes as to how fortunate we are to have such active forums as these for folks with HCV to turn too. It seems the same can not be said for some of the others I've tried to turn to but is a common trait found on nearly all HCV forums I've seen.
I've try to stay current by scanning these forums, which were a lifeline during my trial of tx, and not posted much to this one in recent months as I've found to hard to keep up with both forums. I think I've placed more attention to the other forum and posted there more frequently to share what I experienced and learned during my tx trial with those who are searching for answers.
Sometimes one needs a bit of a break and to let others help the newer folks entering or risk suffering burnout from answering the same questions over and over again as each comes with the same fears, questions, and concerns. Again, we are so fortunate in that it seems our disease appears to be as unique in drawing us together as it is to suffer from compared to many others out there.
It is my in my prayers that it does not become so common place as others so that folks fail to come together to openly share and support one another.

hey, at least our posts are being posted for the most part, ha ha! I don't blame you, after all that, I'd figure you'd need a break from all things hep c...you'll land on your feet...
yeah I think I have to leave this forum for a stretch after I finish tx, so I can try to forget about hep c until all my results are in. I will come back now and then because I will miss everyone if I don't. You can always contact me though through SFB. She has my email and phone number.
I wouldn't just leave and not try to keep in contact with some of you guys. I thought MH was going to get the private email thing. What happened to that?
