Close Hepatitis C
I had a liver transplant 5 years ago and I thank God to be alive. I've had the Peg treatment and there is no sign of hep C in my new liver. I did NOT have the severe side effects from the treatment. Liver disease is terrible but a transplant is not the end of the world. For me it was a new beginning. Thanks Paula Caudill
Treatments
- Interferon Not Working
- I became depressed & my Dr stopped treatment.
- Liver Transplant Working / Worked
- Had transplant 5 years ago and I am almost bad to my pre-transplant health.
- Pegylated Interferon Working / Worked
- I have NO sign of Hep C in my new liver. I was on treatment for a year (Peg & Ribavarin).
- Ribavarin Working / Worked
- I used this in combination with the peg. Worked for me. No serious side effects except exhaustion.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am a 56 year old lady who had a liver transplant 5 years ago. I was very ill for 2 years before I got my liver. I was not able to exercise and became a couch potato. I am sorry to say I stayed that way until about two months ago. I decided to get this weight off and keep it off. I joined weight watchers and I'm exercising evry day. Lost 17 1/2 lbs so far and much more to go but I feel confident I can do it. I want to get healthy and stay that way. Thanks for the support. paula
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- With the help of Weight Watchers this is what I am trying to do.
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- This is one of the most important tings that I am learning about in Weight watchers
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- Weight Watchers is helping me. After my transplant I became a diabetic so eating healthy is imperative. Hopefully as I get healthy the insulin can become less.
Open Obesity
I am a 56 year old lady that had a liver transplant 5 years ago. For the 2 years I was ill I became a couch potato and I'm sorry to say up until 2 months ago remained on. I have been going to Weight Watchers and learning to eat correctly. I'm exercising as much as possible. My first cousin (Sweetmama) to you guys is an inspiration to me. She has lost approx 70 lbs and she is looking so good. She told me about this web site and i just hope I can be a part of it. It's great. Thanks paula
