Janet your reply to Camie helped me alot thanks! I quess when you first get told its like a death sentence it scared me to death.I am so glad we have a caring group to discuss our fears and questions with.

Re: Newbie

Camie,

First of all, you are not going to die a painful death from this disease. If you follow the advice of this group. Okay that being said. Most people die with this disease from other causes other than from this disease. Old age, heart problems,etc...

From this moment on Alcohol is a big NO NO. Alcohol is like drinking poison to folks with Hep C.

It makes the virus replicate faster and does damage to the liver.

There are treatments that can put that bad boy or girl Hep C virus into submission. Some times for good!

We are a good that is high upon education, support, and friendship.

I suggest if you haven't already done it that you change your way of getting messages to daily digest as this group is very active and will soon flood your inbox with messages.

We have 3 medical professional on staff here as Owners, and one Owner has been through the ravages of being the spouse of a person with Hep C. So she can relate to both sides of the situation of dealing with Hep C.

I am Janet-I was the original owner of this group, started this because I couldn't find a group on the web, that answered the questions I had. I am a nurse, and although I am a nurse was totally inexperience in dealing with Hep C. I found out that I had Hep C in 2000. I probably had it since the early 90's.

Jackie-is a paramedic with Hep C- she has successful completed treatment and beat the dragon, for the past I think 5 years. After 5 years of undectectable blood work some doctors consider you cured. I am pretty much thinking Jackie is cured in my own opinion mind you.

Liz-is a paramedic-who is also our researcher for the group. She post topics of interest to the group and is very good at her job. We greatly appreciate her for all the hard work she does. Because if there is a question about most anything she finds good information for the group post haste.

anne- is the mother hen of the group, she is compassionate, protective,loving beyond all limits, she has dealt with the disease by being the spouse of a person with Hep C. She can relate to how families deal with the disease, what they go through.

These ladies are my sisters in heart and through the disease.

Welcome to the family.

Love

Janet

PLEASE, I need some friends I can talk to, and I need some education. I heard I'm going to die a painful death from this, is that true, am I going to die??????ScaredTake the ordinary things of life, and make them your own. Do the impossible with a smile
