im actually starting day 2 here so bare with me, im really not that coherent with my self today so ill do the best I can.
sadsister, im so sorry, i keep forgetting your name :) I actually started in my mid teens but the last 2 years have been bad! I'm 24 now, But listen, if you ever think you're going to fall and I hope and pray to god that you dont, you can get a boxes of sterile needles online at any diabetic store, I am saying this because reusing your own is just as bad as sharing, I have a few friends with endocarditis and they gave up after they found out. And burning them, dipping them, whatever is just going to collapse your viens and you dont want to lose an arm or a leg. Trust me. :) ....no i have all my limbs...lol
Marcia, As im sure you know, phenobarbitol is a barbiturate and one of the older ones, Klonopin in fact has the effectiveness of .25mg to 160mg of phenobarb, so you would need a LOT of phenobarb to make up for 4mg of klonopin. Now, no i wasnt taking them together, i wasnt taking the klonopon at all and the doctor had me on over 200mg of phenobarb and 2500mg of neurontin. They only give the people who are withdrawing from alcohol valium and I was on opiate detox and having DT's so bad I was starting to forget who "I" was. Plus I was taking oral and transdermal clonidine along with Darvon. And Trazodone at bed time. They made my BP go down to 80. Now this could have put my in acute renal failure so im looking up on that if that was the cause of the damage. Plus my insurance wont pay because I left AMA but my new doctor said If i would have stayed 2 more days I would have been dead, so im fighting that.
What caused your sons liver to fail? Im sorry if you mentioned it but I cant see! :) This is all very new to me, I actually didnt get that far is school but im learning a lot more now that I have no choice. I've been told the stages of fibrosis before the diagnosis of serosis is made. This was my first "liver" biopsy every so what do I need to look for? All I was told is that, and I know how to read CBC and metobolic blood screens, that my enzymes are staying elevated and they needed check for scaring. Now if it hasn't progressed, I told my self i'd quit drinking and smoking. :) But, what they did was stick a needle under my ribs and pull a part of the tissue out. I heard nothing yet and complained about not getting a phone call, They said, you dont want a phone call, you want a mailer. I've had these before when I was tested for HBV and HIV and it was a week of hell. I havent thought of it though, for some reason I dont even care and havent checked the mail, but I used to care. I actually requested the exam, he asked me if I wanted it. I've been very sick looking for months, very pale and I cant put on weight. But I've had no sighs of jaundice or redness, my skin is just crayon white. Im going to take a motril and lay down for a while, write back, if anything seems like ti doesnt make sense just make due with it :)
