new here, couple questions

[Guest guest]

hello ive been reading for awhile now but just decided to finally post

something. i found out a year ago im hep c positive. im scared to death. i

started the process to begin treatment but due to my work schedule, its hard for

me to keep going to the dr's and getting the blood tests and everything. i will

eventually start treatment, although im scared because of stuff ive heard (side

effects) so if anyone can tell me what treatment is like, i'd definitely

appreciate it. im a single mom with 3 kids and i work full time. i cannot get

all sick and miss work, i just cant. also, im a drinker. since my husband left

i drink just about every night, it helps me sleep and just plain helps me deal.

so honestly, how bad is it that i drink? it scares me to death but i just cant

stop. this whole thing has me so incredibly freaked out. basically anything you

can tell me will help because i really dont know much about hepatitis. thanks

in advance you guys
