    • About Me

      I'm complicated, I don't think like alot of other people. I like to be by myself alot, but I do enjoy being around the few people in my life who have been there for me.

    • Close Hepatitis C

      I'm 23 years old and now an undie! Hep c viral count when diagnosed in september was 250,000. november 457,000 after 2 weeks of tx in January it was 17,000 then vl was 233 after 3 months of tx. As of week 15 I am UNDETECTABLE! The only thing I think the virus could have come from was a blood transfusion when I was born because I was a premature baby. I have genotype 1a and will do the treatment for a 48wks.

      Treatments

      Milk Thistle Working / Worked
      Pegylated Interferon Working / Worked
      Flu sides for first 2 shots ever since just a bit weaker after shot. Not bad at all though. Totally worth it!
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I try to keep the positive in mind over the negative with everything. It has made me a better person.
      Ribavarin Working / Worked
      Itchy skin as a side not bad though.
    • Close Anxiety

      I've had anxiety since I was probably like 6 yrs old. I always worried alot as a child. I didn't know how bad my anxiety was or what it was because I hid it until I was 19 from everyone. I thought it was just apart of life to have anxiety and panic attacks. Since then I exercise and that helps alot.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Sometimes it helps. My anxiety isn't as bad anymore as when I was younger.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      This is the only thing that has helped. Ive never taken any meds for anxiety and I dont plan to.

    • Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Seconday Progressive MS

      My father has had MS for 15 years.

    • Open Body Modification

      I have three tattoos and plan on getting at least one or two more. I at one point have had almost everything pierced on my face, eyebrow, lip, nose etc. I really love tattoos and how they look and I love people who have alot.
