Hi, new here. I just thought I might take a minute to share my
thoughts. I am on week 4, I went to the doctor a couple of months ago
for high cholesterol, a few blood tests later and all of a sudden I

6/9/2006 it was 12.9. My 7/7/2006 blood test hemoglobin was 11.7.
White blood count has been trending down also, now at 3.47.
I talked to the Doc about anti-depressants but decided not to go with

I've got a bit of a communication problem with my doctor - I live in Asia -
and I'm hoping with your experience you can fill in some blank spots for me a

I was throwing away my box that held the Interferon shots when I noticed a
warning label:

WBC 4.0

I didn't feel like cooking the other evening, so I went down to the
local chinese restaraunt and ordered some general's chicken and a couple
