About Me

I am 49 yrs old! I have HepatitisC which is a liver disease.There is no cure, only treatment that is brutal. It is a form of chemo. Alot of people reach non-detectable after treatment(no-virus). For some the treatment works and for some it does not. For me I did treatment back in 2003-04. I only lasted 9wks and had to be taken off due to adverse reactions, such as hair loss, weight loss, sight loss(sight re-turned)and basically, I lost my mind and had to be hospitolized. Today, I suffer from alot of symtoms of Hepc, fibromyalgia and depression.There is nothing the doctors can do for the Hepatitis at this point or the fibromyalgia.If I resort to pain meds the liver goes faster.Which means I will die sooner. I use to be a cosmetologist lic'd in two states, but, I can no longer do that kinda work (toxic)working with all the differnt chemicals. I do some volunteer stuff on-line and off! No matter what keep going is my motto! I have seen alot of deaths due to HepC in the last decade. Keep going!There will be a cure eventually! Live as healthy as possible, No drugs! No alcohol! Be strong! Be positive! Life is good!
