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.

When I first received my diagnosis I went straight into denial for about 2 years.As the time went by I would think about it more and more.Until it became a 24/7 it was getting harder and harder to keep it in the back of my mind.That's when my anxiety kicked in really bad.

I had "liver issues" for 23 years before they identified it as HCV in 1993. Been a long time companion for me but I wanna break up! :)

I have only been able to think about getting through this tx since starting. Just get through each day. I cannot not think about it. Just all of it. I'm new to it and it has been totally consuming for me. I hope I clear on this tx. I've counted days remaining daily for weeks now. I am so done with it and if I had to go much longer . . . well let's leave it at that for now.

It would be difficult to harbor it ongoing too though. It's been said HCV sucks. Let's leave that there too for now.
