      Ambien is for amatures. Hopefully you are one. *sigh* restoril doesn't work on me. Good luck with the sleep. The humidifier is an excellent idea, thanks! And I will get out my knitting needles, so whenthe hair starts to fall, I can knit a nose warmer! :-)

      I'm diagnosed as a geno 1A with inflammation, fibrosis. I'm having an MRI on this thursday to look at a cyst in my liver. Already had bx of course, that was scary. Think I'm getting ready for tx. I'm bi-polar and an alcoholic. I have managed not to drink in almost a year. I'm just looking for others who are going through or have been through this fight for some kind of help.

      Treatments

      Milk Thistle Working / Worked
      I've not started treatment yet but getting ready. I'm a pawnbroker and work fifty hours a week & really want to stay working. So far I get headaches and nausia at times.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      For bipolar it just got raised from 100 milligrams to 200 a day.Im used to it but it makes me tired so I take it at night before bed. My doctors have decided to raise the dose to get me ready for treatment for hep c.
