Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Okay, I thought what if I go blind or something cause something is wrong in my head. My son's neurosurgeon told us he is afraid to operate again because he may go blind or we may lose him. So...I called my GI even though I am done with tx. I figured most everyone on tx experiences this buzzing. I was told that it is most likely that I am dehydrated. Imagine that!! I'm power-washing the toilet with one end and barfing simotaneously in the trash basket. Not a pretty site. How the hell am I supposed to stay hydrated??? I took an Imodium and doc called in Amoxicillan. Yes...I know, it causes diarrhea too!! Anyway back to my son....You would never know he has had any surgeries other than short term memory loss, and extreme migraines off and on. He's a real trooper. Now, I have a lot of praying to do. I cussed at God today cause I am so damn sick. I said some awful things to him. (No one was around to witness this insanity.) I did that too during tx. I hope he is as forgiving as the Priest says..... Thanks again to all. Back to bed...and the toilet....and bed.....Cathie

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
About the crickets....I used to use Loreal Preference to color my hair. Last time I used it, after I washed it out, I bent over at the waist to fluff out my hair and got crickets and pounding and a migraine headache.
I quit using Loreal and only use organic hair coloring now. I think the crickets are from the toxins. Although it might also be something a chiropractor could help with, by adjusting the top of the spine.
About the dehydration, drink lots of water, get some electrolytes. Real Salt is a good source of minerals to replenish your electrolytes. Use 1/4 tsp in a quart of water. Most drinks such as gatorade are loaded with high fructose corn syrup which is nasty stuff. We use a powder electrolyte replenisher, called Cytomax, available at health and sports stores. High fructose corn syrup free.
Oh, and I also take liquid calcium citrate so I don't get cramps. While on antibiotics, I take PB-8 to replenish intestinal flora and Yeast Defense to keep from getting a yeast infection.
Hope you feel better soon!
Love!
What happened to your son, how old is he?
Poor kid, praying going your way my friend.
Love & Respect, to you and yours,
Mckenzie
One day at the time.
