my elder sister had hepatitis. she has two young kids and no support from my family. i have been always there for her. so much so that i left my job and moved to another state to be with her.just to be closer to her for moral support. now when we have some arguments she tells me that i should be more understanding and consider her coz she has a husband to answer to and what will her kids think of her family that they always keep arguing.. she says that i shouldnt be so stubborn and just agree with her all the time. just coz i dont have a family of my own doesnt mean that i cant voice my own opinion and listen to her coz she is ill and has a family. i cant put up with it now.i feel there is no appreciation for what i do.

Tell her to get off her pity pot. There are treatments for HepC. I know alot of people that live normal productive lives with it and other more serious diseases that will be the death of them.
You should never give up what you believe or feel because someone thinks you should. Individuality and being your own person includes thinking for yourself.
Maybe your sister should get some counseling.
Good luck

thank you. i feel alot better. i should get over the guilty feeling when i think i am being selfish when i think for myself sometimes. i guess this includes self respect as well.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
