Well my Lee finally got to take his second shot last night after missing
one.   It took until this noon to hit him and he feels lousy.  This man is a
Spartan so that is sorta scarry.  Wish us luck.  I'll be taking good care of
him.  He's special

Hi Elmo, Heppiechick, Waterspider, Thomas, Thip and damn if they
didn't change the page on me with list of posters in the thread.  If I

officially be purged from my brain by January so no more excuses.  Ha!

Happy birthday to Elmo!!!!
Have a good one, bud,
Spidey

Paging Susie Quill, Paging Susie Quill..
Anyone seen Susie?

My mom received the results of her 2nd test today--confirming what we knew
to be true--Hep C.
So I am ready to arm myself for what's ahead & will probably be plaguing you
with lots of questions. First of all, can you help with the abbreviations? I

Let me start with, I HATE HOSPITALS.  Thanks to everyone for the concern
you showed while I was out.  It turns out I have/had an abcess in my
right thigh deep in the muscle tissue by the bone.  My wife tells me it
was the size of a tangerine, but I'm thinking grapefruit.  They ...

I went in the doctor today to check on my progress on recovery from
the drug reaction which made me miss 1 shot and now 3 weeks of riba.
Got my results from the qual test, still undectable at week 19.  That
was a relief.  I am having a mild rash problem with the pegasys.

At a time,when I really needed support,,Elmo,s reply to me was,,No 1,s
stupid here,,and no need for yelling. Didnt mean to offend any 1,,and if
I did,,I didnt mean to. I don,t need Elmo,s Abuse towards me. Wish all
of ya the best,,and hope all of ya recover. I,ll not return to this

I've got another month of this tx and I have every expectation that it
will be successful.  I will never be able to express my thanks to the
people who made an effort to be supportive and informative and I have no
interest in bearing grudges against those whose goal was the ...

Guess at times,,I feel so alone,,as well as Alienated,,not to mention
the depression,,of not knowing what the results will be,,and treatment.
I had got hurt today at work,,and was bleeding,,a co-worker who used to
be a paramedic,came over to offer assistance,after i had washed off ...

Lots of bloodwork at the VA today!  Finally got my 6 months post tx pcr.
Will have results just after my birthday.  There's always anxiety when
someone new draws blood from me.  I knew I was in trouble when the gal
brought out a butterfly IV set-up, then told me that the vein ran

Just catching up on reading a little....at 6 a.m. in the morning.  Guess
this is how much I love this group.  Just got in at 4:30 a.m. from the
philippines and had to check the e-mail and list before going to bed.
Missed the list.....and my dog.

I posted a dramatic exit message.  I hate it when people do that, and I
swore never to do it, but I did it.  All apologies.  I am going to blame
the rx mental rollercoaster for this one.
No one, even off of tx, likes to think that someone is running a

Newbie here - I am in my 9 mo of Tx (Pegasys and copegus) no detectable
virus at this time - yea  Sides haven't been too bad although my hair is
falling out but I am assured that it will return to normal.  Probably
contacted HCV during the drug wars of the 60's and early 70's.  I am ...
