Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi Debbie, So glad you found a "live" group - it can make a difference being with folks that you can actually see and share things with. And I'm sure that they were very happy to have you join them too, especially the lady who was a "newbie" and probably had tons of questions. See - you were able to help her through the info that you learned here and from your own experiences - I guess that's the way support groups work. And it is a godsend to have somewhere to go to - like this forum - I can't imagine going through this alone - without anyone to talk to except the doctors that you might see for ten minutes at a time - or by reading stuff on the internet or in a book. Well, take care and I'm glad that you shared this experience. Maybe you can learn things from your "live" group that you can share with us here online. Chris I went to my first support group last week and met my first hepper. (face to face). There was me, two from the old support group that is starting up again and a woman newly diagnosed. So she was looking for answers, like I have recieved here and just knowing there is someone else out there. Man I was feeling like the experience hepper.LOL.Oh so my point I am so grateful that I found this place and all you people. I was scared and feeling really sorry for myself back then.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am so glad you found a support group in your area . It feels good to be able to give other people the information you have learned isn't it ? I think that is why I have spent so many yrs doing online support , it makes me feel good to know that someone out there is less scared once they are educated more about their disease . Take care xoxo suppport group I went to my first support group last week and met my first hepper. (face to face). There was me, two from the old support group that is starting up again and a woman newly diagnosed. So she was looking for answers, like I have recieved here and just knowing there is someone else out there. Man I was feeling like the experience hepper.LOL.Oh so my point I am so grateful that I found this place and all you people. I was scared and feeling really sorry for myself back then. There was some talk of a shot party and I realized I haven't seen nothing yet and there is still life after hep c diagnosis. The moderators are well Liz you and others here still amaze me with what you all have gone thru and all that you give. Your still my hero but maybe not the only one. So Liz take care of yourself, we are all worried. I'm thinking of that letter to someone without hep. We are all looking for a cure, help, health etc.. And if anyone knows about them all I sure it is you. So that said gett better!! And Rick is doing better so that is great, great, can't say enough. Hope everyone is doing better. To treat or not to treat is a personal choice. As all health care should be I think. So happy to have a place here to share experiences, knowledge and suppport. On that note your homework is from our textbook (LOL)http://hepcchallenge.org/choices/integrative.htmLove and hugsDebbieEveryone enjoy this fall day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
