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.
Earlier this year, my cousin Rocky passed away from manengitis, he was only 50 years old.
It was a shock to all of us, he was such a great cousin.
So I started praying to God, & Rocky, to help me get better with my health and help me lose some weight.
Those of you who knows me well, know that since doing the combo treatments, year ago, I never did feel good, even if I had managed to clear the virus.
So, after praying for a few months, I started to drink water, twice as much as the regular water intake I had been drinking since doing treatment.
It was unreal the amount of water I would drink, so I told Richard, I believe I might have diabetes, I will ask my PCP for a requisition to get a blood test done.
So when came the time to get my prescriptions renewed, I asked Dr. Gagnee to write me up a blood test requisition for diabetes, explaining to him, that I was drinking water like a mad woman.
So he did, I went the next day, since I needed to do it fasting, and when it came back, my sugar level was at 20.
Here in Canada, the normal range for diabetes is, between 4 - 6.
So this meant that I had been walking around for almost 3 years so he says, according to my file, I wasn't tested for glucose since early 2007, so yes I have been walking around with my sugar level sky high.
No wonder I have been so ill all this time. Dizziness, nausea, fatigue, weak, ect....
I was put on 2 pills a day, I chose to go on a very strict diet, wanting to lose the extra weight, I had gain during and since treatment.
I exercise, I walk, and I am losing weight like crazy. I am so happy.
Today, 3 weeks later, my sugar level, is almost normal, and I feel so good, and alive again.
I got my life back, and again due to the fact that God answered my prayers one more time.
Water is my savior. Never quit drinking this natural drink, that does nothing but good to your body.
Love & Respect,
Mckenzie
One day at the time.
ps: I urge everyone who finishes their journey towards wellness, to get checked for diabetes post treatment. It is common for those who go on these treatment, to inherit diabetes. I posted a Topic in the old website I was with, when I did my treatment to see if some had gotten diabetes from treatment, and many did, so get tested. Thanks, Mac.

Did you crave sugar? I crave sugar like crazy these days......
Now I truly appreciate not having hep c, before I hate the treatment for having made me so sick, and the whole time I was diabetic, and my Doctor wasn't checking me for it, I guess he assume that I wasn't losing weight that it couldn't be that.
Now I am already getting my blood level under control, and hopefully I can reverse it, in time.
The great thing about it though, is that my vision is now 20/20.
I have been wearing glasses since age 14, to see a far, for driving, and watching television, now my new glasses which I paid 360$ for them a few months ago, are useless, I see nothing in them.
Thank God, he gave me a sign by making me drink even more water that I consumed already during the day.
Water as always been my drink of choice. Then coffee, but since doing treatment, I never did return to a dozen cups of coffee, now I drink one or two a day, that's it, the rest of the day, bottle water.
Thanks to all who replied to my post, you are such great friends.
Love Mckenzie
