I am very fortunate to have had a great dr., so that's why I have followed through in the past. A lot of people do ignore symptoms because people think they are at fault for getting sick. I think the first reaction most people have is to feel guilty for something they really couldn't control. How many people eat the right diet, exercise, see their doctors regularly, etc.? Not many. How many of us got HCV through ways we never thought would infect us? Then when we get sick we blame ourselves. Or, as you say, we think our fatigue is just laziness, our memory problems as age, etc. I hope you have a successful liver transplant. I have a friend who got one and he feels great and is back at work. My dr. told me I need a new biopsy...the last one ws 12 years ago. Then we will see if I need tx. again. Camy I just found out I don't have cirrhosis!!! A doc told me I did about 10 years aqgo---a surgeon who did a biopsy while taking out my gall bladder--but I saw my liver doc yesterday and he said I couldn't, because if I had cirrhosis I would be at end stage by now. Hallelujah!!! I still have to have another biopsy to see if there is a lot of fibrosis.
Anyway I have had hep c about 40 years. I have been on interferon about 3x and infergen once. The virus clears, but comes back. I am doing well, working at two jobs and singing in my church choir. I have two grandchildren and two dogs and two cats... |
