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.
Yesterday was horrid, on top of being my dearly departed Mom's birthday, first one since she passed, all the commotion on this site really set me back. I was heartsick on top of heartsick, and I am sure I am not alone. The activities of goose/pineybob and lord knows how many alias profiles he has, is so completely uncalled for, it is beyond my comprehension. I understand rage, I've had it several times myself; but this is not rage, it is premeditated evil. As do many on this site, I have multiple illnesses, I simply do not need another menace in my house, truthfully, it is more than I can handle both emotionally and physically. Yesterday, I became hyper-paranoid, I thought my computer was bugged, I locked all my doors, I could not answer my phone, and well, basically, I was hysterical. I did not sleep well last night, I had physical pain beyond what I usually endure; and I ended up taking more Loritab than my normal, prescribed dosage as a result. I am not better today, I got up weepy and I am still in great physical and emotional pain. I know there are some people here that will say it is my own fault for allowing this to hurt me, that I have the power to decide and no one can make me feel what I feel other than myself. Well, for a normal, healthy person, that may be true, however, like many others here, I am not well psychologically, as much as I am not well physically. So to say just let it go, may be a lot easier said than it is done. Some of us are strong, some of us are not strong, some of us are strong one day and not strong the next. Personally, I do not think it is wise to "group" people together; we may all be in the same boat, so to speak, but we do not and should not be expected to be the same in ever aspect of our being. What is black and white to one, is grey to another. So, congratulations Goose, or whoever you may be today. I hope you are proud of yourself, and feel vindicated and victorious in your relentless quest to create chaos and inflict pain upon the fragile, innocent, ill people like myself, that are here, for the most part, to give and receive comfort and companionship during this difficult time in our lives.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

DS may move slowly at times, but Mr. Clean is on the job. When you feel weak you have those here who care about you to lean on. We more than outnumber one kook...you really are safe. That man doesn't have the sense God gave a .....
It is very hard for some of us "to let it go" when he is always in our faces.I always looked forward to coming here to DS....couldn't wait, but now i am hesitant.
I do value your friendship and many others here.
Love ya, sis
It doesn't mean we need to leave DS, but perhaps remember to concentrate on balance. DS is normally a comfort, but it in no way IS my life. This past week DS required more vigilence to protect the homefront with a neighborhood watch by reporting abuse. I check in still but keep my sessions a bit shorter. All is well...even if he reappears DS is on to him.
Take care and be well...
I couldn't have said it better if I tried dear..I felt your pain yesterday but wasn't sure how to help dear....
you know that for the 1st time since being dx'd I really lost it myself yesterday and have been crying every since...we can't help our emotions we are real people...it is ok to be upset which is human espcially w/the very conditions we come here seeking help with.
But listen to TSuzy she is so wise and it will be ok soon. Pleaes take care of yourself #1 as I plan to do myself...
I also have Bipolar and even tho no episode in 5 yrs almost didn't get tx cause docs feared depression..if I get depressed they will up my meds which I seriously don't wont and if that doesn't help I'll be pulled off tx so I really can't afford this stress for my own sanity and prayer in beating this dragon.
I'm sorry I don't mean to turn this into about me just trying to let ya know I relate to everything you said and am so sorry for your pain. Wish I could fly over and give ya big real life hug dear - we can cry on each others shoulders - that is what real friends are for.
Been blessed to not have had depression yet it but feel it coming on so I relate-also starting to have worse sides on tx and still have 7 mos to go so that is my story I usually only tell my dearest if any friends...
I also took extra xanax last night but was still up till 2am and up at 4:00 which my shrink might worry about me being manic although i know is just stress and insomnia.
I'm just saddend by good friends I've lost to this monster but he is no longer a part of my existance-will not let him.
Every one has opinions here that differ as in real life but I'd like to think we can choose which we are comfortable with and ignore those that we don't dear - it's called freedom of choice...except w/monster who is deliberate as you say.
I am too sensitive and get hurt easily but am trying to work on that...
I try to never show this side of me and be cheerful and funny usually but have not lately.
Trust me DS is very aware of site delima and is seriously working on solution - we just have to be patient and our wonderful site will be back.
You and TSuzy said it right we all have real lives outside of DS and HepC and just need a bit of sharing support here....it will come back..
In meantime know that there are 99.9% good people here that love you....
Please do whatever is in your best interest for you health as I plan to and I'll be here for ya anytime hun.
luvs ya xoxo

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a bench, waiting for the bus to come.
Corporation t-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday.
You've been a naughty boy, you let your hair grow long.
I am eatting eggs, they are eatting eggs, Goo goo ga joob.
Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little girls in a row.
See how they fly like a plane in the Sky, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
I'm cry, I'm crying......
