Today I decided that this feels like the very end of the first trimester of pregnancy. That disgusting feeling just before the bliss of trimester two takes over. This is on the good days. Before I got too carried away with self pity, I thought; at least I won't have to go through labor, and I get to keep...

Can I go to my usual MD for that treatment if necessary? Going to my GI is just a joke, I have to drive over for 45 mins, tell them what I need and they send me h...
This Saturday morning I woke up feeling a little sick from a cold. The cold and the other sx combined to make me feel pretty crummy. So I stayed in bed pretty much all day, watching TV. I did not drink any water. Saturday night I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed even if I wanted to. By Sunday morning I was to...
When I was pregnant with my third, I had to go on bedrest for 6 weeks and suddenly lolling about and watching televion 24 hours a day became torture...Likewise, it seems, is this fatty snack that Rob has to eat before the Incivek. Things he used to enjoy eating, like peanut butter, are now just somethin...

Hi all, thought it was time we had a catch up on each other`s progress.... I must say that 11 wks post tx I am feeling so much better!

I don't know if you are aware but TX can weaken & damage teeth, I was feeling brave and went for a check up today.
