Today, I finished the last of the oral meds, praise God. It'll take 2--3 months to clear my system and for about a month will take 3 weekly shots of procrit to prevent anemia. But, the actual high toxidity pegasys and ribavirin dosing is no more.

Went to a healing service today, was annointed by a pastor & given annointing oil for daily annointing.



brooklynsblessed1 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (4/17/2007 5:27:32 PM)

MIA OR AWOL ???? In case anyone noticed I haven't been posting much since Fri. I had an acute "cout attack" & literally couldn't walk, my dr. on call I advised I go via EMS to a Brooklyn Hospital,I was in Sun. morning & walking by Mon. & discharged this afternoon. I get these severe gout attacks every few years & does not require surgery, etc. but intensive medicating,often w/ new meds temp.added, and testing until able to be mobile again, in a few days I could probably run a mini-marathon (but praising God today, just to be able to walk to corner store w/out a cane, etc.)



Judah1966 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (4/18/2007 10:58:20 AM)

Looking forward to hearing more praise reports from you!Praise The Lord and Thank You for Your healing,restoring power and LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!![:D]



brooklynsblessed1 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (5/2/2007 11:19:47 PM)

Thanks all/need a few more prayers... I've had a setback in the meds worked fantastically at 3, 6 & 9 months, no test at twelve mos. & then the treatment ended.

It was all undetectable, but it is possible that the HCV hid in some fatty liver tissue; I will see my liver specialist next week-but we really can't do any biopsies, etc. for a few months as the meds need to flush my system.

I am still trusting in God; he has the "blueprint" for all of our lives. Amen ???



stamper_ben -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (5/3/2007 2:16:15 PM)

selahgirl -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (5/8/2007 8:51:22 PM)

Hey Rick, it's been a while.... I caught up on your posts and am so glad that the treatment went better for you this time around. I am still praying that the results of the treatment will find you well and healed. What will be your next marker, what specifics can we pray about for you in this moment?

I have not kept up with my blog about the treatment, things have been a little crazy with it all. I'll explain more on my other post. Much of it has involved my insurance switching me to a mail-order pharmacy which has been a fiasco. I know I should be thankful to even be receiving the treatment, but the quality of care has been horrible. I know I will come through this fine whatever happens, but my concern is for the people or the elderly that are too sick to speak out when they are bullied by their insurance companies. I have twice received bad meds after a whole four shipments (that's about 50%), and have been run around on the phone so much. I'm sooo tired. I just keep wondering how I would feel if it was my brother fighting AIDS or my sister fighting cancer or my mother doing chemo... what if they were being given bad meds so their insurance company could save money? How many people are too tired to be run around on the phone and just take it till it compromises their health or kills them? I can speak up, but it is heartbreaking to think that so many people can't and no one cares. And all too often family and friends yeild to the machine.

But despite all the added stress, I have been able to continue functioning as normal. Still no nausea -- PRAISE THE LORD! I am so thankful for that. Several other side effects, but Christ continues to give me the strength to press on. My white count keeps dropping and I have taken few full doses.

I think one of the hardest things is having people forget that I"m even on the treatment, and then they get frustrated with me because I'm not able to keep up with all their demands. I resorted to finally getting a handicap decal for the days that my energy bottoms out. I have refused it for so many years, but it has begun to interfere with my ability to keep up with the needs of my teens and family. It still bothers me, because I feel like there are so many people worse off than me , so I only use it if there are other spots available for others who are sick.

I landed in the hospital recently because the treatment caused some of the materials that broke down to block some of the blood vessels in my colon (they think) and they ruptured. I have suffered alot of pain in my life, but I never remember throwing up repeatedly from pain... until now. I was passing blood, the docs were in a panic, my family thought I was dying, it was horrible. And the comment I heard from almost every family member and friend was, "I forgot you were even on the treatment." That's not really their fault, because I work hard to not remind everyone about it. It weighs on people when they know you aren't feeling well. So I seldom talk about it, I just seek God to help me keep up. And he remains so faithful.

I even have trouble sometimes with family and friends parking in a handicap spot for me. Their comment is usually, "I don't want to park there, because then people will look at me and scoff that I really look like I'm handicap."

... only recently I responded for the first time, "but I am, and I live with that scoffing look every day that I struggle to keep up."

It's like drowning and everyone around you staring blankly or screaming at you for it.
But God has used Hep C to teach me such a compassion for those who suffer. He has taught me to stop being so self-centered and to focus on the signals in people that they are drowning or in pain or needing someone to risk embarrassment so they can function. Not only have I learned so much, and how thoughtless I have been in life, but my children have watched me learn such things and it has affected their walk as well. I thank God for that. I thank Him that in every challenge and every trial and every flaw within ourselves... he will bring good things to bless many when we call upon him to help us and to change us.

Sorry to ramble so much, and I"m not as down as this may sound. It has just been a rough month, but I'll be laughing about it all in my next breath. Such is life... I seem to be saying that alot lately as God continues to teach me to accept the things I cannot change and to trust him with it all. He is faithful to bring order from the chaos, and blessing from the pain <3

Dear Forum Friends:

I will be brief but am badly in need of your ongoing prayers; been having labwork, a sonogram, etc. as post-liver meds treatment.

It appears that the reason the liver meds failed was due to a FATTY LIVER and the virus hid out. And also as a possible side effect I have PRE-DIABETES per my talk this afternoon w/ my liver specialist.

I will see a dietician in a few weeks to change diet & continue to be followed. Meanwhile pray please that the liver damage & pre-diabetes will miraculously REVERSE.

God bless you all for praying,

Rick

PS-Although my attempt was not successful I encourage in addition to prayer, annointing by the elders, etc. that if your dr. suggests pegasys that you consider it..& am willing to communicate further on this in confidence.



coloradokidd -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (6/2/2007 12:05:43 AM)

Lord Jesus, watch over our friend and keep them close to you through these times of fear, and uncertainty. Lord you know our hearts. Please see into them and heal them. Mold us into the people you would want us to be. Please give our friend the strenght to use this opportunity to witness to others in the same situation. Help our friend fight the fatigue and weight loss. Feed this soul o Lord with daily bread and purifying love.

Amen

^^^All of these needs are still in effect & we are going slow this time (which sometimes causes anxiety)---I will see an endocronoligist (sic) soon to help make sure the pre-diabetes can be helped along medically to return to normal (yes, God will use medicines too)...& loose weight & likely do another liver biopsy by Sept.

One good thing when I saw my primary on Fri., she says all traces of anemia are gone & actually I have higher than normal readings in that area.

I will continue to get annointed on a regular basis & thank you for standing in the gap.[sm=christianity.jpg]

Prayers going up, Brooklyn!!



selahgirl -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (9/6/2007 1:37:53 PM)

Hey Brooklyn, I haven't been on the forums in a while. Just wanted to touch base and see how things are going. Good to hear that the anemia was much better back in June. How did the test results go, and is there anything specific that we can be agreeing in prayer for at the moment?

much love to you <3



brooklynsblessed1 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (9/7/2007 6:38:24 AM)

Lord God Almighty, worthy of all praise and honor, Holy is Your name,
Lord, I pray for spiritual growth and maturity today; to be less like me, and more like You.
Lord, help me become a humble, hard working servant, who bares Your fruit;
a disciple with great faith, with a wise and encouraging tongue, and one in whom You can trust.
Lord, I give You everything I have, & everything I am, may my love for You only grow stronger.

Lord, encourage and motivate me, so that I may continually serve you with a passion.
and please teach me to listen to the Holy Spirit, so that I may always know Your will.
Lord, please help me overcome temptation, and don’t let the devil have any foothold in me.
Lord, break every stronghold in me, so that Your Holy Spirit may totally dominate my life.
Lord, judge me severely, correct me ruthlessly, and when needed, rebuke me thoroughly,
so I can server you more perfectly, being void of all hypocrisy and being meek and lowly of heart.
Lord, please instill in me an intense and awesome fear of the Lord,

Lord, help me become a great Harvester, sowing Your seed and bringing many people to You.
Lord, here I am, use me. I want to advance Your Kingdom and serve You everyday,
open many doors of opportunity to shine the Light of Jesus through me,
and put several people in my path today, so that I may bring them to You.
Lord, help me do something profound for You everyday, and to have an impact on eternity.

Lord, I want to master Your Word. Please, fill me with Your knowledge and truth,
bless me with wisdom so that I may be fruitful, and remove any falsehoods in me.
Lord, help me become a prayer warrior, one who can move mountains in Your name.
Lord, help me to effectively and faithfully use all the gifts You have blessed me with.
Lord, teach me how to bring down all the principalities and powers that work against Your Kingdom.

Lord, I pray for a long life of service to You, with health and blessings for my family,
help me develop a disciplined mind, a crucified flesh, and a loving compassionate heart, pure and obedient.
Lord, set my sights on the highest goal, and have me do whatever is necessary to achieve the
greatest blessing of the good and faithful servant, and to finish strong in the Lord.
Lord, help me fully experience the Christian life, and to manifest Jesus in every aspect of my life.
Lord, help me become a true worshiper of You. And please fill my cup with Your tears,
so that I may love people with Your Love.

Most Holy and Righteous God, thank You for everything You have done.
I surrender my life to You, please direct me and make me into Your image,
for I am nothing without You, may my life bring glory and honor to You.
Please send out many workers into the harvest field, in the name of Your son,

JESUS CHRIST - AMEN



Caseyp57 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (9/7/2007 8:43:29 AM)

Lord Thank you for your love for Brooklyn'sBest and grant better health and your peace, and wisdom for the medical team. Please bring the hiv and hep.c to undetectable levels and let the treatments be more easily tolerated. In Jesus name amen.



brooklynsblessed1 -> RE: ==> HEP C DESTROYING LIVER (11/7/2007 2:54:06 PM)

Am ready on Thu.Nov. 8th to take MRI of liver & pancreas.2 Recent blood tests (AFPs) showed me in a "cancer range"; those can be thrown off due to my hep. c---praying that this MRI & a yet to be scheduled liver biopsy will show NO CANCER!Also need healing of hiv, liver and lipo.

Here's what an abnormal AFP though can mean: In men, nonpregnant women, and children, alpha-fetoprotein in the blood can mean certain types of cancer, especially cancer of the testicles, ovaries, stomach, pancreas, or liver are present. High levels of AFP may also be found in Hodgkin's disease, lymphoma, brain tumors, and renal cell cancer.

Please pray against all of the above above possibilities from the lab tests and believe w/ me that a PRAISE REPORT IS IN THE WORKS.
