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.
She said she will go to the ER if her eyes don't stop twitching and she starts bleeding again. She's just resting for now.
Poor thing.
I sure do hope she gets the treatment she needs asap.
She said that she wasn't feeling real good, not chatty, so she wasn't getting on here much.
I hope she went.....
Did she happen to say where she was bleeding from???
It's important because if it's from her mouth or from coughing, it may be that she's developing varices which if ruptured can be potentially fatal and she'll bleed to death.
Now I'm not saying that she has this but, it's better to have her check it out ASAP before it gets too bad... If you speak to her again and she says that she's been bleeding from her mouth or every time she coughs, then pleas emphasize as much as you possibly can that she needs to get to the ER today okay?
Please tell here that i said so. ;>)
Respectfully,
Henry
She's having female bleeding after menapause..... not the varices, but still pretty serious thing. Thank you for mentioning that though. If it was that, I would have put the fear of God into her, and probably call her Aunty somehow, who is most likely the only one she listens to! Maybe I should insist that she give me Aunties phone number just in case.
I haven't heard anything today from her. Has anyone else?
Please continue to encourage her.
It may not be, but it could be serious.
We encouraged you, and thank goodness we did.
Hoping you are doing well Kel.
Just heard from Dalis and she went to the doc. Whew..... thank god! Anyway she'll probably be back posting soon. =)
