I've Been Missing for 6 months third try at Cure

[Wiley50]

This was my last chance, I had tried twice before.

Liver biopsy in 91 was Stage two, tried but was too busy trying to save my home from foreclosure to incapacitate myself like that

Second try, in 2006 ended with no sleep, food,or drink and dry heaving for 9 days before I hit the Emergency room.

Another Liver Biopsy last summer. Doctor gave me 6-8 years to live without completing treatment

Stage Four they start digging a hole to put you i, as that is all they can do for you.

Third attempt, I told my doctor's I wanted to use pot, even though I don't live in a Med Pot state, they looked the other way.

I MADE IT! I MADE IT! I MADE IT!

never had anything worse than semi-constant mild to sometimes moderate nausea. Big difference from last time.

Baseline (before therapy) viral count was over 12 million of those little virus' in every milliliter of my blood.

2 weeks after starting treatment, viral load blood test came back " NO VIRUS FOUND and every 2 week blood test came back thew same way.
so my treatment has a strong remission so far

5 months from now, if it still comes back, NO VIRUS FOUND

I"M CURED!

PS, anyone got a 1 ton dually with a big engine and a ball hitch that would pull my 28 ft sailboat from Nashville to the California Delta (back Bay between around August 1st or I will arrive there without my home. I'm being evicted because the people who own the land I'm on worry about me wintering in an uninsulated sailboat, when I've got snug electric heat with a gas back up. Oh Well, I have little contact with them anyway and my kids arere out there

4. Fantastic news!!

Great!! Have you checked out a professional hauler for your boat. It can be more reasonable than the alternative.

[Wiley50]

5. just one 8-9000

more tan it is worth on the market, but on SSI Disability shelter is shelter

[peace13]

19. I hear that.

I have friends who live on their boats all year round. West of Cleveland, Ohio on Lake Erie. Very cold right now but beautiful and as you say, economical. Best wishes on getting where you want to be. Peace, Kim

26. BOBBOLINK! I'm practical

It took 4 1/2 to get my SSI. My arrearade by then was $14000, of which my lawyer took halk.

I figured I better not party away the money, but buy some kind of sheltewr to reduce my rent to a minimum. I've sailed boats since 78 on boats on lakes in OK and TN and knew I could buy and old one cheap ($ I gave $2500) added enough gear to sail from tip of Long Island to Virginia, then trailered it where my friend would let me live in it for no rent.

(sORRY FOR CAPS, TOO LAZY TO FIX

i ARRIVED BACK IN tn 12/1/05 I WAS GONNA FIX IT UP MORE SUMMER OF 86, BUT FROM MY ALREADY TRASHED BACK NEUROPATHY HIT AND THE NUMBNESS AND POAIN THAT STARTED IN MY LITTLE TOE IN 06 IS NOW UP TO MY KNEES.

sO MY RENT FOR 6 YEARS WAS $2500

i'M ABANDONING IT AT MT FRIEND'S FARM IN CASE THEY HAVE GUEST'S WHO SMOKE

i'M MONING TO iSLETON, CA IN A

UGUST UNTIL MY UNCLE DIES AND i GET MY INHERITYANCE, ENOUGH TO BUY A BIGGER, BETTER BOAT AND i'LL BE RIGHT WHERE THEYRE CHEAP AND CHEAP TO FIX AND KNOW THE MARKET

gOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU.

W

PS Any DUers in the Islton, Ca Area who can show me around when I arrive and help me find a room to rent.

29. If your attorney got half,

he/she ripped you off. They're supposed to be limited to 25% (at least, that's the way it used to be).

[bobbolink]

47. I envy you being able to sail, and being able to buy a boat. That actually sounds like a fairly

comfortable life, given the unfortunate circumstances. Constant pain isn't something that makes for a good life. I wish something like that (boats) was open to us all.

Sounds like things are looking up for you, and I hope you are able to regain your strength after the cancer scare!

If you ever want to write some about the whole disabiliity thing, let me know.

Best to you!! And very good to see you, also!

14. you made my day. My dog died today of bladder cancer. I know

30. I am so glad for you

I saw your post just looking over my wifes shoulder.. Irishonly..
You can call me DreamSmoker as I am a 54yr old Cannabis Patient and Activist myself...
I am so happy you posted some of your details.. Especially the Cannabis use and its effect for you..
I just hope that others will follow and do the same...
Cannabis is non toxic... And is one of the Most effective coping medications in nature for many illnesses..
Anyone who disagrees is ignorant or basing their facts on BUll SPIN...
Most of the Public is very ignorant by design from the Federal Government and the DEA..
The real fact is absolutely no research has been done or even allowed in the United States since president Nixon's day.. Thats right... NONE...
So think of that fact next time you hear negative comments concerning use of Cannabis...
All the finest research has been done elsewhere in the world.. It shows just the very opposite to the spin from our Government and DEA....

37. It's always good to hear stories like this

38. Congratulations on the progress that you've made so far.

Best wishes and positive vibes for the next blood test.

Kudos to you and the Doctors who looked the other way! Patients MUST be their own advocate at times. It's sad to realize that such archaic laws are still in place in far too many areas.

[WillyT]

39. Great News !!!

:woohoo:

[BobbyBoring]

40. WTG!

Don't know your situation, but I'm guessing hepC. My SO had it, went 6 mos on Interferon/Pegatron. and couldn't continue because she was so sick. Took her to an herbal Doc and within 3 months, virus gone and hasn't come back for 6 years.

Pot is the only thing that helps her with her other problems, many caused by massive doses of man made poison.

Greatest health care system in the world?? The only people that can honestly make that claim are those that have not negotiated it and rethugs.

Glad you're better and stay wall
