- I almost hate to post anything on this topic, because it's dominating the board, but for any of us getting shots for anything (I'm still trying to talk myself into the Hep A vaccine), here's a way to lessen the negative effects (this is from my...
- So many of these posts are really scary (like the brain damage one) And then the idea comes up that "they" are trying to scare us to get us to buy stuff. (That is how the American economy works.) But perhaps much of this is true, though unpleasant. ...
- Does anyone know of anything to put over a tile mosaic in the kitchen that won't smell and outgas? We're renovating and I'm still gagging on the primer in the bathroom. I certainly don't want any chemicals around my food. Instead of granite...
- Today my liver dr. (who I only saw once but has called me two other times to give me HCV info while not earning any money for this) called and said "THe future is now." He offered me the combo everyone wants,said he can get insurance to pay for it...
- I think I must have missed the original thread, because I have no idea what this is. Yes, the drugs are very expensive, but so are lots of cancer drugs. Does this mean insurance co's won't pay for the new orals?
- I almost never read short stories, but I was in the mood for some light, escapist reading so I got the O Henry Prize anthology for 2013. One of the stories is about a woman dying from Hep C! "Lay My Head" by L. Annette Binder, originally published...
- My family has chosen our Thansgiving turkey. Her name is Martha. We have a tradition -- every year we go on the Farm Sanctuary website and see the adoptable turkeys and read about their personalities. Then we vote and choose a winner. FS sends us a...
- My family does this every Thanksgiving. They send you a picture and there's a webcam on the turkeys during Thanksgiving, though none of them went into camera range when we watched. If you live near the sanctuary you can go feed them, and then the...

- So mostly I'm ok about my puffy eyes. I've always had them, though they get worse with age and allergies. But I need to get new headshots for my book, and they're all coming out terrible. I used Preparation H for my wedding (the makeup lady told me...
- I know that none of these feelings are good for my health but that's what I'm feeling. Thanks to some dirty politics in my town, this supposedly green community will be polluted (at the taxpayers' expense). And lots of parents voted for this! Their...
- It is so hard for me not to be influenced by what other people think of my work. I get that my profession is mostly about rejection, and most of the time I'm fine with it (I get enough acceptances) but this week I got a particularly nasty (while...
- So have you all done it? My dr. said it's a 40% chance of death if someone with HVC gets Hep A. On the other hand, my homeopath, whom I've trusted for over a decade, is anti-vaccine (I haven't asked him about this specific one, though. He may say to...
- I saw a dr. today who said to get vaccinated for HEp A and B, that if I (or anyone with HCV) got Hep A, there's a 40% chance of death. I'm pretty anti-vaccine as a rule, but it is easy to get Hep A (and I eat out whenever I'm working). What did you...
- So I met with Dr. Ditreich (sp?) at Mt. Sinai, and I have some infor to share1)TT,CC etc. -- It never made sense to me that someone who didn't survive a killer flu would be around to have descendants. But he explained that the C comes from surviving...
