waiting waiting waiting.. I'm always f.cking waiting.
well, wondering WHY I hadn't been contacted by my doctor after
completing my Liver Biopsy 3 weeks ago, I called THEM.
Found out my doctor is back east until the first week in August, and

Just a quick update....Shawn's liver numbers are improving but his kidneys
are not.....they are still trying other tactics but he's getting pretty
tired of the whole process.  However, he has promised his doctor he would
comply and do everything she asks so that he can know that he ...

This webtv thingie is messed up, it won't let me reply to your
Piscataway post.  It's a shame you didn't tell me about your frequent
trips to Jersey earlier.  We could have had lunch or something.  All
those towns except Tom's River were in my sales territory and I lived

I picked up my test results this morning. I'm going to see the doc tomorrow.

Hep B Surface Ag = Nonreactive.

Has anyone had any experiance with telling employer about their diagnosis?
I need to work but, on lighter duty.  I'm afraid of what certain people may
think of me.  Should I make up some other story to explain why I need to be
on light duty.  I believe in being truthful but not to ...

If you love the guy, this might be a good time to tell him.  Shawn is an

God bless you, Shawn.

Hi gang, elmo Russ HC Spidey Paul Shawn Dez (hey Dez howzitgoin?) and
everybody else out there who uses this NG for what it was intended for.
This is supposed to be a support group, right?
How 'bout this.

Can't find you post where you said they check it at 12 weeks.....that's

office and they hand you a lab slip to take to an outside lab, all you
have to do is put a check mark on it where it says 'quantitative PCR' ...

Shawn, hope everything is going well for you.  One of the guitar groups
I've been hanging out in is having a get together in Washington so I
thought about you.  Once again, hope everything is going well for you
and Randi.

I read yesterday in the U.K. press that he was HCV and died from a liver
tumour.. anyone know any more?

I've been so crabby lately I didn't even welcome the new folks to the
fold.  Sorry about that.  My back's still killing me, and my Moms is
back in the hospital with heart failure.  It's been a bad week.
I do welcome you all.  New blood in the group is a good thing.

After becoming extremely dizzy and falling twice while home alone, I gave up
the Infergen.  This stuff is NOT for the faint-hearted!  I've never
considered myself a wimp but it did me in.  I was sleeping at work (when I
was there), feverish all the time, nauseated, sweaty, ...
