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'd like to know if cirrhosis continues to develop with no additives like alcahol or drugs. is having hep c enough for it to continue developing on its own? also, if cirrhosis is present, can tx still be done? does tx halt it? what else can be done about it? i have cirrhosis and wanna know if i should be pushing for an early appt to see the specialist. obviously, i wanna beat this thing if i can, but dont wanna jump up and down on the docs head unnecessarily. my appt with him is not until mid jan 2008. any advice/info would be appreciated.
thanks guys

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
