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.

My daily coffee was one thing I did not want to have to give up. I can't imagine a day without my coffee. However, since turning over a new leaf last week, I make myself consume water in between cups.

Then today I came across this article and jumped for joy, LOL.

I love my two lg cups of joe in the morning too. When on incivek however, having to get up @ 5:30am to start the morning fat fest, there was no way I could add coffee. I would eat, take the poison, go back to bed, but felt too full when I would get up an hour or so later. I would just have water, till my noon time 'snack', then next fat fest + poison @ 2pm.

I buy the healthy request tomato soup. It's still got sodium, but much less than regular. (of course adding the saltiest saltines I can find kind of cancels it out!)

And speaking of Remaining Thrills, as is the title of this post,

I've given up alcohol, drugs, sex . . . . I wish I could eat all the candy, salty foods, & fatty things I want! but I don't (incivek cured me of the fat thing for the most part) I will indulge in a good steak now & then, and buy ice cream a couple of times a month.

Once the weather warms up & my strength returns & some of the aches & pains go away, I'd like to take on more 'adventures'. Do some fun, exciting things before I really get too old & decrepid.

Sorry for going on & on here..... haven't rambled on like this for a while.
Hi everybody.
