Re: Discussing my HCV with others - Cheryl

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl

Im not saying who you should tell, but I would think that doctors and dentists SHOULD be told.

Dentists are one of the ways I have seen that HCV is passed.

They should know so that they can clean their eqp, and take care when treating you.

The doctors so that they can keep your liver in mind when treating you.

The same goes for Tattoo and Piercing folks, and maybe Hair Salons.

Just my thoughts.

Hi everybody

This is my experiance in telling others that I have HCV.

I was diagnosed in spring 2008.

My lady of many years promptly put me out of the house.

We have no contact because she moved, and vanished.

She also lost her only sister to HCV liver cancer. [ive told you all that story.]

Im bummed, but dont blame her. She was scared.

My family drew away [Dad, and siblings], and although they live just 30+ miles away, I rarely hear from them.

Very few Emails, phone calls, US mail, or visits.

Ive got coodies, so almost zero support there.

Im hurt, but cannot fault their fear.

I do try to keep them updated, and tell them that I love them.

I tell all the medical workers that treat me that I have HCV, from Dentists onwards.

They need to know.

I remind them every doc visit in case they forget.

My biggest problem is finding a new lady.

Im on many dating sites, and state upfront in my profiles that I have HCV.

I do not hide it, or lie. They have a right know before they get involved.

Of course most run. The rest question, then vanish too.

I havent given up.

My friends vanished long ago, so have no experiance with friends and HCV.

Ive been a hermit a long time, wanting only my lady in my everyday life.

I have no job or co-workers, and social outlets dont exist for me.

My only support are those of you in these HCV groups.

You educate me, and help me be strong.

I love what I can do for you all in return.

Im not alone, and have a purpose in life.

I bring up this topic in regaurds to me, because it might help someone else.

I dont hold a grudge with those who run, or dont understand.

I just accept, and know ultimately, I cannot depend on others, so must be strong within myself.

I am at peace with my life.

I think that those of you who do have a spouce by your side are very lucky.

If you have a supportive family and/or friends, thats super.

We need to remember to cherish what we do have, because its not so easy to replace.

To count our blessings.

Be well my friends.

Your not alone. I am here. LMAO :-)

butting in. you must tell docs and especially dentists. I worked 20 yrs in dental field and if they prick themselves they are in trouble. We would double glove for hepc and put instruments in autoclave (hot sterile) before even cleaning them. AND just imagine if you did not tell someone and you had a say hangnail and they had a cut.......... I'm not saying tell them right away, but before a kiss in my opinion. I can be very abrasive at times and I am sorry, but having been in nursing and dental hygiene, PLEASE everyone tell!!! What if you accidentally passed it on and you had not told that person? Not only is it a good lawsuit, but it is a death sentence. Please do not be angry. And trust me I am alone alone alone and people run away out of ignorance. I carry bandaids with me at all times. You just never

know.Someone said something about coyotes...... I see them every day! If anyone uses a macintosh, please tell me where spell check is at . Thanks. Well, my arm is really hurting and now our wonderful leader put me on individual emails so I can at least try to stay on subject or topic.
