Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks for sharing, Don. I’m not so much afraid of dying as afraid of living with a low quality of life. I have my beliefs about God and they’re in line with yours. I love science and I love the mystical. I do not seem The Big Bang and God as Creator as being mutually exclusive. I have said for years that the Big Bang was just a spark of God’s thought. I recently saw a picture comparing clusters of galaxies to neurons; they’re eerily identical. Yes, I do believe that at death I will be liberated from the physical, perhaps become pure intellect, or pure soul. (E.E. Doc wrote a series of books called the Skylark of Space, and in one of them the hero (and villain) meet beings of pure intellect. Their goal was to know everything. The villain actually became one for a time, but got bored, believe it or not. I believe in One God, though there are many paths to Him/Her. There was a science fiction story in the 50’s called The 10 Billion Names of God. Tibetan monks believed that the world would not end until all of the names of God had been recorded, and they spent their lives listing these names. Then someone brought them a Univac computer…. I believe in One God, but many Higher Powers. For instance, a group is more powerful than an individual but several groups organized into one is more powerful than one group. Buddha, Tao, Mohamed and Jesus are Powers Greater than Myself, but the Ultimate Creator is most powerful. And so it goes. Yes, I’ll be all right, but I’m human and my faith is not perfect. m From: Christ [mailto:ludichrist2000@...] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 6:12 PMmmatchinsky@...Subject: hello again hi I read your intro.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello everyone my name is Ron, my Dr just got the results of my CBC, and I too am an old hippy and shot drugs into the early 70s. I have never been tested for hep until now some 30 years since my last use of needles. However about 6 years ago I moved in with a gal who has had hep c for about 20 years and is now moving up with the disease. She tried the treatment but had so many really bad side effects from it they stopped it. I am kind of spacey right now as I just got the news, she was taking the shots and pills, we have had sex unprotected but never when she was bleeding and have never come in contact with her blood she is very careful about that. I am going to go tomorrow and have the more in debt test run to see where my liver is at. I have no other health issues except a bum back and hypertension. Could I have had hep c for 30 years with no outward signs of it? Can it be transmitted any other way than blood? I am at a loss for words now as I said I was just told. Now the questions, so figured to come right out and ask. Any input will help. My girlfriend lost her husband a few years back from it and it lead to other serious compactions that all together caused his death, now she is counting the days. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Sorry but I am really lost in my head right now but no disrespect to anyone. I just don't see how my use of drugs so long ago and the fact that no one I ran with ever had it, however due to the life style a lot, most of them are dead due to other things. I thought I had beat the mistakes I made when young and using needles I was anal about not sharing needles or letting mine be used? I am lost here except from sex with my girlfriend who feels like shit because she figures she gave it to me somehow do to unprotected sex. Input needed.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 You can have HepC for 30 years with no symptoms. Especially, from use of needles. It is unlikely you got it from sex....especially from a lady. Make sure you get a genotype, and a viral load. You did say you are positive for HepC right? -- hello again> > > > > > > hi > > I read your intro.> > The 'Im scared' caught me.> > Do you mind if I talk a little bit with you about my philosophy of God?> > I am not religious, and wont thump you on the head with a bible.> > But I have spent alot of time concidering the universe and a possible creator, and the whys and how comes.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 While transmission through sex is possible, it is very, very rare. It is only transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. Condoms aren’t even recommended for married couples. If you shared a needle, or rinse water, even one time, that would have been enough. No one you ran with had it- that you know of. It is also possible that you shared a toothbrush, razor, tattoo etc. It often takes 20 years or more for symptoms to appear, but a CBC (complete blood count) would not show Hep C. What made your doc decide to test you for Hep C? m From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Meka Granados Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: [ ] Re: MEMBER INPUT Hello everyone my name is Ron, my Dr just got the results of my CBC, and I too am an old hippy and shot drugs into the early 70s.
