Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 a, Yeah, it's a stigmatizing (is that a word?) judgemental society we're in, and in my opinion, the fastest way to change that is education and awareness. As awareness raises, people start recognizing the importance of getting screened, and they get educated that this is one of the few truly curable diseases out there, we'll see the stigma and judging and catagorizing go away... However, you'll still have people that don't understand playing WOW, or a husband 21 yrs your junior...You go girl! Ignorance is anything but bliss...

Jimmy Buffett RE: [ ] Personal HCV History - Sharon Just my personal, not so humble opinion here, but I think it depends on where one lives and who the people really are. I have seen doctors with attitudes before you even tell them how you think you got it. Even on the Internet, it kinda depends on the people really are. For example, I have a group that is for the designs I create in Adobe Photoshop. I make eMail stationery, blog headers, signature tags, etc. I've been trying to re-create the group I had when I was doing treatment; however, it's clear that isn't going to happen. As soon as I started talking about Hepatitis C, letting people get to know me a little bit, they started dropping like flies from the group, go figure. I play World of Warcraft, going on 3 years now. We live in such an era that people will even bash you and treat you differently because of how old you are playing an online game. In case you haven't noticed, I don't have much respect for humanity. Just because my hubby is 21 years younger than me, that places another label on me. People are so in to labeling the world we live in, and so unjustly. Didn't mean to get off track there, but the world is hell bent on putting us all in to categories.
