Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

I never thought about it until today when I did a google search for "bagolady" and there's my posts on DS. I'm certainly glad that it's not my real name nor my picture. I don't like that at all. I guess after having a computer all these years I should have known better, but I never thought about it.

because of the public nature of our postings I've always described myself as an eskimo living in Chile

Obviously I need to live in a cool climate, and Chile sounds perfect

Also, treatment is a lot like the Iditarod, long and grueling

I think I'm moving to Chile.

You're there, Stray Cat. Complete with image. We're all there, whether you have an avie or a picture of yourself. It's there. I clicked onto one of member's image and a post came up behind the picture.

Really

I know Bellamin posted about it weeks ago. She was pissed. I agree. Thought it was a little private. I say more in private messages. I mean, a Vietnamese lady living in Arkansas, I stand out and I like SOME anonymity.

I miss Bellamin aka Jellybean

What if 170 million came out at once with their C status? I guess many of them still need to know about it first.

deleted_user 07/10/2012

Exactly! Just other HCV'ers. Unless you use your full and real name will it come up.
