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.

Thats the way I always felt while on TX. I am now realizing
after finishing up a month ago that I was even feeling like that
before taking the TX. It now seems, at this point that I don't
have all the aches and arthritic pain, sinus issues, and what not
that I always was taking over the counter meds for. I used to live on
Ibuprofen but now find my myself needing it less and less. I can't
get over the change my body is feeling. Its a welcome relief to
feel good again. It seems obvious that living with the Hep C virus
for the last 20 plus years took a toll on the body. Now that its
gone I have visions in the future of not acting my age. Hopefully
I can control myself and not be wild and crazy as I once was.
Like the song goes, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm good
once as I ever was"
This post is meant for encouragment for those doing treatment or
considering treatment. There are far more better days ahead in
your life then there are bad ones like those experienced from side
effects. Keep at it with a postivie attitude and you'll get through it.

hang in, and hey, there is a shit ton of snow in my driveway so if you run out, just let me know (my plan is to hibernate till spring)....
And yet it seems like only yesterday @ times when I least expect it!
But I do not miss it one bit and besides, abstinence & ahem --------------->"Community get-togethers" ruined my career as a professional drinker! :>) :>) ;>)~ So nowadays I'm retired!
I'm so GRATEFUL towards all those folks who I came to know as my second family put up, and help me to radically change myself and my life as a result!!!Has I ignored and kept denying that I had a drinking problem well, we wouldn't be having this conversation for one thing!!! And I wouldn't be apologizing to you and everyone else for hijacking this thread!!!
Finally, had I continued drinking, there's no chance except for the grace of God that I would have changed myself enough to eventually Love myself once again. ;>)~ Thanks for bringing that back for me as it reminds me where I came from to where I am today! One day @ a time... Never Give up & Never give In!!!
Respectfully,
Hank!
found something better. I was a closet drinker. I would go for weeks
and then drink for a weekend. Then sometimes go without it for
months. I had lot's of fun with my drinking friends. Now that I've
quit their long go. If I hadn't of been diagnosed with this 3 1/2 years
ago, I would still be doing it. I think everything happens for a reason.
When I get done with this tx it's time for new fishing waters!!!! I seen
your a fisherman, me to!!!
And Ozzie..........how many times I gotta tell ya.........Bootleg comes to ME!!!!!!!!!
