About Me
I am a middle school librarian. My husband teaches 3rd grade, one son is in his last year at seminary and the other is teaching at SIU while working on his graduate studies. We have an extended family of three adult couples who are our "children" too. I have had Hep C for 25+ years and the active periods have been far apart. For this I am grateful. I am fortunate to have a job that I love and that keeps my mind and spirit busy. I am blessed to have such a loving and caring husband and family.

Interests
I love to read, read, read. I am also working on two books, a series of children's books about a cat and a teen novel. I adore cats and all animals. We have several cats that are like family. My husband and I love to travel. Music is my passion. Singing is my art. My new photo post is my sweet Shakespeare. He is my comfort during the days.

Close Hepatitis C
I have had hep c for 25+ years. I tired interferon,but am the wrong geno type for it now that they have learned to tell genos. I have active counts,but usually can manage the pain, etc and work. Right now i am very symptomatic, high viral load and counts. Very fatigued and in pain. I am off work for the first time in 20 years. It is hard. My husband is loving and supportive, as is my principal (School librarian), and grow kids. Oh yes, and my cats.
Treatments
- Interferon Not Working
- I was on interferon in the early 90's. It made me horribly sick, I got down to 87 lbs and was covered with bruises. Later, I found out that now the doctor can tell by geno types if it will work or be a good treatment. Turns out I am the wrong geno type for interferon and several other drugs. I also have a brain aneurysm and a bleeding disorder, so I have several unusual problems. I hear that it has helped many people.
Close Migraine Headaches
I have had migraines for 12 years. It has just been this past year that drs. at Davis diagnosed them as complicated migraines. At times they look like stokes. now I know what the problem is and am on the right tract. I also have Hep C from transfusions going on 25+ years, and a brain aneurysm diagnosed 2 year ago. Life beats on to it's own music.
Treatments
- Fiorinol Working / Worked
- It helps when I can lay down and sleep. Otherwise it just seems to make my head hurt worse. Because i get complicated migraines I have not found anything else that works; no side effects except if I do take them too late, they keep me awake.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- When all else fails i close my eyes on concentrate on one theme. Usually the beach...it usually helps me fall asleep.
