Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Wondering if vitamin waters can count for some of your water intake.

I've not heard of it being "bad", but you may want to double check with your doc..
I know that some vitamins in excess can harm our livers... I think B6 is one of them- but can't remember.. Darn brain fog!
Hang in there!

They make me more thirsty. Are you drinking them because you are tired of water taste or for added vitamins?

I guess they could count.

I think pure water is the best, though. You can add a lil ginger or cucumber to make the water tastier.

Check what vitamins are actually in it. I was addicted to unsweetened Gatorade during tx but it actually made me thirstier!
I always use a brita filter for all water and usually put a lemon slice in the water. Lemon also helps w/phlegm, it breaks it up. Used that and nettie pot in winter, same in summer for allergies. No allergy pills for me anymore!!! I was drinking some seltzer water this week *(my fav!) but I seem to retain water on it, so no more. There is also MIO, a flavoring u can put in ur water (walmart etc). I feel lost if I don't have water by my side, especially in my car!
