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.
....or a really bad cold.
Didn't get my flu shot this year, and my mom just got over a flu/cold that ended with bronchitis (hope mine doesn't.
Started with lower back pain, then
*nausea
*more all over body aches, esp in the neck n back
*headache
*fever - ~100-102, even my tears are hot streamin down my cheek, ugh
*chills last night w/ the mild fever (had 4 blankets on b4 I warmed up)
*"eye headache/pain"
*so drained (but I still had to get my lil one to the bus....in the rain. ugh)
*a lil dizzier than usual
*Still have my hungar though, which is annoying cause of the nausea, haha
*Second day of taking tylenol (325 mg) one at a time whenever I can't take the pain....like now......down the hatch. Last one I took was at 2am, so I'm good.
*sensitive to sound-like ear pressure "under water"
Love you guys. Going to nap now before I have to get young one off the bus later....*hugs*

@AAL I did, in fact, drink some tea with honey in it and chicken noodle soup at the first signs of it, so perhaps that warded it off to the "day flu".
@ECC I believe I read that the strain this year was the 'A' type flu bug. Hands down, last year's flu season was scary and I am glad I did get the QUAD flu shot last year (Oct '13).
@MLT My mother did help some with the tea and adding the extra blanket plus a heating pad when I was shaking from the chills. But, I took care of the "rest" (pun intended) because I had to take care of my youngin.
@ all of you: I am extremely appreciative of the thoughts, prayers, and advice, on account that I know it helps and always makes you feel better! *hugs*
P.S. ......now I have to go out and buy more honey.....hehe
