About Me

Sorry we have to meet this way. We are a group of people, who, one way or another, have found out that we are infected with the Hepatitis C virus. We also have health care professionals who join us from time to time for more information, or to offer information on treatment & who want to learn about the concerns of patients. There are several different ways to treat Hepatitis C and we want people to have as much information as they need to make a healthy informed choice as to their treatment method. There are people in the group who have been treated medically, and some who have gone the natural route. We share information on both.We are completely confidential and offer a safe caring environment to talk, share, vent, or just generally be there for you, so you know you are NOT alone! We seek to raise community awareness of the epidemic of Hepatitis C! It is estimated that there are 50,000 to 70,000 people in South Carolina alone with this disease, and many people do not know they are infected.*************************************************** ********

My Interests

We are interested in people from Greenville, Anderson, Pickens, Spartanburg, Easley, anywhere in the Upstate of South Carolina who would like to join us to discuss Hepatitis C, personally, professionally, clinically, or just to vent about how you feel about having this disease.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is infected or affected by Hepatitis C.If you have successfully cleared the virus, please stop by and share your experiences.We are interested in health care workers who might like to speak at our meetings, including alternative health care practitioners. We are also very open to health care workers who would like to learn more about this disease. Unfortunately, it is a growing field!If you are interested in starting a support group in your area, please contact us! We have lots of info to help get you started!We are soon to be a 501(c)3 organization.
