Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks : I appreciate being in somebody else's prayers. I strongly believe my Higher Power set me on this path of fighting the dragon for a very good reason, that I'm not sure of at this point. I pray too, that your hubby will have his new liver this coming week as well. When I can, I get very vocal about getting some recognition for those of us around that world and those still in our future, that will have to battle this epidemic and the fact that our governments are loath to recognizing the horrendous cost on the public systems that it's causing. I know particularly that the Canadian government only quietly recognize it and so far I am so fortunate because, with a little help from friends and doctors, I was able to qualify for a Disability Pension the first time around. The sad thing is, it was probably to do more with my Fibromyalgia than with the Hep C. A chat group that I was a member of - when they all got their compensation cheques from our government, stopped communicating with the group. It was as though the money fixed everything!!! Sure, I wouldn't turn down $200,000 to $400,000; but, I still don't see how that's going to give me back the old me??? So, it appears that just a very few of us are still around and trying to whip up some interest in going forward with getting information and awareness out to the public. Gloria ________________________________ Congratulations! on you half way mark. how you feeling? Will keep you in my prayer. I pray that the Lord will continue to see you thru the road you are on. And at the end the virus will be gone and the rest of your life's journey will be clear and sunny.

That's what I will be for the rest of my life after treatment is done if I stay undetectable. I will never be able to donate blood, even though it's gone, or not active. It means you test positive for Hep C, but there is no detectable viral load, so it is not doing damage to the liver...not active. To my understanding, a person that lives with someone with active Hepatitis C is not allowed to give blood because there is a chance they could have gotton it from their partner. I think they are asking if your husband's Hep C is active or not, because if it's active there's a greater chance that you could have gotton it too. Do they let you donate blood?
