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.

I liked her.
I liked her.
didn't she do tx years ago , successfully ?
and while we are on the topic , how about Pam Anderson and what is the name of the other famous lady, she sings, has 2 daughters also famous.......
brain fog.
I feel displeased when some celebs admit they have HCV , then say they cleared it as though magically.
the singer who's name I forget ...country singer.....she was one who made it sound like living healthy got rid of it I think.
I did not mean to distract from respect for Natalie Cole, I always liked her and her music.
may she RIP.
*all I heard on news was congestive heart failure, I think, and "chronic health problems"
Naomi Judd did the interfeuron (I believe) as I read her book when I was not sick from the Hep yet.
She did mention in the book about dating a "Heroin addict" briefly. One sentence only. She had been a Nurse also - She does lead a clean life according to what I have read or heard now.
In the long run, does it matter how we got it - only that we can get rid of it.
Biggest thing she put in her book that stuck with me was "they just dropped me off and left me to deal with the Hep C". Yes, it is a very lonely disease.....I am sure she could pay for extra help, but
no one really understands what we are going thru
emotionally, etc.
I never knew all those years when I was feeling so horrible that it was my liver or side effects from it.....No clue at all....Doctors didn't know either.
