[WalkingEagle]

GM, and the best, too you all
I have finished a 12 week, program on  6/7/15, of (HARCONI) only,, and I feel a lot worse than when, I started,,
less energy, less apatite less ambulation, hurt more all over, sleep more, depressed, grouchy, and just plain cranky.............:  (,,,, my balance is even off,
is that a normal ? if it is, then I can try and adjust, and bite my tong a little more, as my mom always said there is something good,. in every thing, we may have to look a little harder,dig a little a  dipper, .and look more,
I feel like I'm at my  ropes end, (they say tie a knot in it and hang on) but folks it seems to be bad and don't like it at all
I know we are all the same but different, and all different but the same  but I seem to be the
_~"A''~_'s...........,lately and don't even like myself, I see a HEP C, RN on the 14th, and my Dr,on the 24th,
and maybe they, can straighten me some, thanx  folks so so much..............walkingeagle

BTW, platelets and how they relate to liver disease is very appropriate for this forum. In fact Beyond SVR would be much less so, I believe.

Evan, I've done a tiny bit of research since I posted to you. I would love to learn more about this. Thanks.

I found what you stated (about platelets) interesting.  Could you please continue this topic on the following forum.

Let me explain more fully what I mean regarding food. I know there are some foods that may lower platelets, something cirrhotic patients do not want to do. But my understanding is that there is no food to raise the number so eliminating the things that may lower the platelets might be helpful but not the other way around. Are there any references from well-known reliable sources?

[SurfsideGal]

Evan, I am certainly no expert at all on platelet levels and only know what my hep doc taught me when I was concerned about mine especially during treatment with interferon. He told me that some of the things you mention do not lower platelets levels. They affect the platelets by making them more slippery and therefore the blood does not clot as easily. It is also my understanding that what you eat does not affect the platelet levels either. Respectfully, can you please provide references to the things you are saying. I am interested.

Hey, there.  How are you feeling now that a week has passed?  Are things getting any better?

Also, did you call your Dr incase some of you blood levels are out of whack and need to be treated?

Blessings, Pat
