MY KIDS ARE ALL NEGATIVE!!!!!!! I do not understand how I conceived my 8 year old, after getting clean, but yet he is negative. But, then again, THANK YOU JESUS, for this gift. For with my sons special needs, and meds he needs, this would have killed him. I am active, and awaiting the load and genotype tests, plus whatever else they ordered. They took the blood Friday???? My husband hsa not yet been tested, but should be next week. Have to await doc to call back with a time and date. Beyond that, I think the questions will load up when I get my test results and find out truly what all this means for me. I have been reading other posts, and am very curious about this ammonia thing. May, 2 years ago, I started sweating like I was going thru the change. I would shower, sweat like a pig getting dressed, etc. I stopped pop and hit the water hard, and things went back to normal. And now that I

am drinking more coffeee, less water, sweats are back. And the body odor I smell all the time; I think it is nasty. I have asked my kids, but they don't say much. Anyway, I am curious to see what these levels are in regards to that. Tonni Motley <dmotleybellsouth (DOT) net> wrote: Hi Tonni, welcome to the family. The first thing I want to tell you is that we DON’T CARE how you got hep c, and we don’t talk about it except maybe when we’re all reminiscing or something. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we have it and we’re all equal now, fighting the same fight. We can’t

blame ourselves for anyone we might have given it to before we knew we had it either. Who knows, that person you think you might have given it to, might actually have given it to you, but IT DOESN’T MATTER now, because the fact is we have it and we have to deal with it. You stop judging yourself for getting it and that will be a big step. When people ask me how I got it, I say it doesn’t really matter now, does it? It’s really scary waiting to find out if our kids have it, too. Thankfully, both mine tested negative. But we can’t change it. It is what it is and we

just have to deal with whatever news we get. Everything gets less scary as we educate ourselves and learn the facts rather than dealing with myths and unknowns. I highly recommend the book I’m putting at the end of this email. Here are the basics: Now that you’re positive, you get another test to see if it’s active. A very small percentage of people clear without becoming chronic like us.

Then they check your viral load and genotype. Then you get a biopsy to see how much liver damage you have and you discuss treatment with your doctor.

So far, I haven't needed it anymore Hugs.

Then, I'm done with it until next shot night. It has me ready for bed within an hour after shot and I go to sleep for the night. Unless, my dog decides she needs to eat or poop or play. Then I have to spend time getting mellowed out again.
