    About Me

    I've seen fire, and I've seen rain... I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end...I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend... I was diagnosed with "C" in 1990. I've had symptoms from "dragon" rearing it's ugly head, for the last 6-12 months. Life is a challenge, now, on a daily basis. Couldn't do it without "The Big Guy!"

    Interests

    good weather, smiling faces, the water, the mountains, positive people, and helping others... ...and taking care of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually, these days...best I can! (with "The Big Guy's help) I'm lost without Him...

      • Close Hepatitis C

        Diagnosed with HC back in '90. Never thought much about it cause it hadn't interfered with my life, yet. Then two years ago (crap hit the fan!). They say I now have gallbladder disease, kidney tumor, and cirrhosis. Dr. gave me about 5 yrs. to live. So here I sit (me and "The Big Guy") trying to figure out my next move. I'm not going any where til God says so. He's runnin' the show, and I'm in good hands, now. I pray for acceptance, and patience while His miracle is happening...the rest is cake!

      • Close Anxiety

        Since being given "the news", of my mortality rating (five years to go)...my nerves have been shot, my world turned upside down, and life has been a "constant battle!, and "upward climb" (out of the trenches). I've been able to turn things around, and smile again (on a "daily strength" basis)...smiling...My hero is God!!! He makes "ALL THINGS, new again!...and better!!!...if we learn to "LET GO!, and trust "only" HIM! He loves showin' His "stuff!"...

        Treatments

        Ativan Working / Worked
        works to take the edge off and to sleep. Find myself a bit sluggish the next day...
        Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
        it helps...
        Breathwork Working / Worked
        isn't that the same as "breathing exercises"...what da I know, anyway?
        Meditation Working / Worked
        helps me to relax, and the streching is a God send, for the muscles.
        Positive Thinking Working / Worked
        It's amazing how "in control" we can be, of our thoughts...and essentially our own happiness!
      • Open Gallstones

        I've had gall stone symptoms, off and on, for many years...the pain, discomfort and nausea are becoming intolerable, at times. I was also diagnosed with HC, years ago...I'm now battling the decision of whether to wrestle with the interpheron/ribavarin tx...seems like I'm going down for the count, sometimes! My faith is in God...not the Doctors. It's a shame when you don't know who's opinion to trust... hence, the bible passage"Rely not on your own understanding but on your faith". I like that!

        Treatments

        Actigall Working / Worked
        My Dr. wants me to try it, but I'm already on so many medications...seems like everytime I try to add another one, it's almost a definate that it will fight one of the other pills I'm taking. Don't mean to sound like I'm a "floating pharmacy, but c'mon...enough is enough. Often times the Dr.'s won't even check to see what your on, before they prescribe something new...boy, that pisses me off !!!
        Low Fat Diet Working / Worked
        sometimes working, sometimes not!
      • Open Psoriasis
        Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

        I've had plaque psoriasis for about 7 years...was miserable for a long time, at first. Then, through the grace of God...found something (2 things) that work. I can wear a bathing suit, again!!!

        Treatments

        Phototherapy Working / Worked
        seems to clear it up, somewhat...
