, you're certainly not alone in your thinking.  when I was told/mentioned

that i had hep c, about 15 years ago, it was in passing from blood tests.  No

big thing until I started reading up on it.  I haven't taken any treatment with

the exception of natural supplements.  Waiting until more people with genotype

a

have a better response to the treatment.  Read all you can and keep your

faith.

    HELLO EVERYONE;I am overwhelmed at the response of the postings.  I am

really new to this and maybe I have not even accepted that I have hep C.  I was

quite naive about the severity of it all, and a little imbarassed to say that I

have been relatively symptom free until recently.  I have decided to not have

treatment but maybe it is going to be time to reconsider.  I guess I have been

just burying my head in the sand. I just recently had my first real bout of

fatigue,joint aches and nausea.  It lasted for a week.  Will this happen

again?how often?If it starts to interfere in my life, then what? it is very

scarey, especially when you can't share your fears with others. After all, I am

the mom and grandmom that everyone counts on. I am about as normal as they

come.  This is a world that I know nothing about. I have been reading a lot

about C.  In my job, I am vaccinated for A & B but wham I got C. I don't know

what

else to say except goodbye for now. Stay strong everyone, its just nice to see

the support that you give each other.

My dear, there is nothing to be ashamed of.  Yes, some of us got the condition

from drug use back in the days when we were young, and the theme was " sex,

drugs, rock n roll " or I certainly remember that time.  Anyway, take care, read

as much as you can.  Check into natural supplements, etc.  God bless.  J

Wow... I too have chosen to keep this between me and my family, i did tell my

boss in confidence, but no one else.  I rather deal with it alone than to have

to tell.  There is a stigma attached to it. I hear it often refered to it as

" those people " there is a definite opinion and a condesending attitude.It is

mostly from fear. there is definately a lack of knowledge among people.  I have

even chose to stop dating rather than share.  My Doctor assured me that it is

not necessary but for now, it is my choice. I may have over reacted to my

feeling lousey last week, i don't ever get a cold or flu so this was very

unusual for me. but maybe, i really had just an everyday virus. I can hope. I am

trying to just go on with my life as usual, who knows I may have had C for 20

years and did not know.  I was diagnosed quite by accident.  A blood test for

a

life Ins.policy.  Normal tests do not include hep screening but for ins they ck

for hep and aids..I use Milk thistle for liver support and a good diet. believe

me I love my sweets but I also eat a lot of veggies.  I have been reading a lot

about nutritional liver health. I used to take a lot of herbs but now that I

know that they can also be bad for your liver, i have stopped.My dr. has assured

me that there are a lot of women just like me who have C .thanks for confirming

that. fondly

Hi Deborah, before I started, i got a big glass of water with lemon.  I am so

not used to drinking water. I have to force myself. I am not a phanatic about

natural foods but I really minimize my junk food. I went out and bought a 5th

ave candy bar tonight, was bored.I really avoid any artificial chemicals,

preservitives,colors etc. If it is not naturally red, then don't color it red. I

used to take a lot of herbs but the ddocs told me that they are not really good

for your liver. still has to process it.

so I have to find a healthy balance of vitamins and herbs.  I really have been

fortunate. So far no symptoms. My immune system is really good, i don't usually

get colds or flu. I kind of got nervous when I felt sick last week.  Maybe I

over reacted and I really just had a bug that was going around. I started to

think, Oh my god I am starting to get sick and how often will I get sick etc. I

call that my " Scarlet O'Hara day...Where will I go and what will I do " Sanity

clicks back real soon.  I guess my sense of humor doesn't translate well on

paper, you have to place the back of your hand on your forehead for effect ande

use a little accent. I have been eating a lot of tomatoes from my garden, can't

wait for the fresh gren beans. no I am not a farmer just enjoy my little

garden.  I am fortunate to have a little piece of earth to plant. I think it is

so therapudic. I leave little sacks of veggies and herbs on the steps of my

neighbors .Well water is done and so am I.

hi maria, sorry youre not feeling the best lately. i have had c for about 16 yrs

now and found out about it going on 2 yrs now. i have to say that i feel totally

normal,i havent had any sickness'es from this YET. i am a total health nut so

maybe that is playing a role in giving my liver the extra support. i do not put

anything on my skin that may be toxic.like thee other nite we were outside and

the skeeders were out biting and hubby ask me if i wanted bugs spray,i dont put

nothing on my skin.if i use perfume,i spray it on my clothes. i wash all my

fresh veggies with a scrubby pad. i dont use sugar. i drink green tea first

thing in the morn with turmeric in it which help clense the liver. i eat apples

everyday which are good for warding off some cancers.i drink orange juice and

apple juice everyday. i just heard also that the worst thing you can do for your

liver is eating after 9pm because while we are sleeping the liver goes into a

mode of clearing

toxiants and if you eat it has to tend to that also.i eat a lite supper befor

6pm.i may have a yogurt or apple while im watching tv or a glass of pink

gratefruit juice which i hear is good for the liver also. for breakfast i like

oatmeal and so does the liver. i never take pills for a head-ache,i just drink a

big glass of water with real lemon in it and my head-ache goes away within

minutes.the past few months ive cut out fast foods and meat in general seeing

the liver works hard to proccess meats.and fast food is plain out JUNK!  hope i

could be of some help! drinks lots of water with lemon,lemon water act as a

blood purifier,lemon is a great liver tonic.!

Hi Deborah, before I started, i got a big glass of water with lemon.  I am so

not used to drinking water. I have to force myself. I am not a phanatic about

natural foods but I really minimize my junk food. I went out and bought a 5th

ave candy bar tonight, was bored.I really avoid any artificial chemicals,

preservitives,colors etc. If it is not naturally red, then don't color it red. I

used to take a lot of herbs but the ddocs told me that they are not really good

for your liver. still has to process it.

so I have to find a healthy balance of vitamins and herbs.  I really have been

fortunate. So far no symptoms. My immune system is really good, i don't usually

get colds or flu. I kind of got nervous when I felt sick last week.  Maybe I

over reacted and I really just had a bug that was going around. I started to

think, Oh my god I am starting to get sick and how often will I get sick etc. I

call that my " Scarlet O'Hara day...Where will I go and what will I do " Sanity

clicks back real soon.  I guess my sense of humor doesn't translate well on

paper, you have to place the back of your hand on your forehead for effect ande

use a little accent. I have been eating a lot of tomatoes from my garden, can't

wait for the fresh gren beans. no I am not a farmer just enjoy my little

garden.  I am fortunate to have a little piece of earth to plant. I think it is

so therapudic. I leave little sacks of veggies and herbs on the steps of my

neighbors .Well water is done and so am I.

hi maria, sorry youre not feeling the best lately. i have had c for about 16 yrs

now and found out about it going on 2 yrs now. i have to say that i feel totally

normal,i havent had any sickness'es from this YET. i am a total health nut so

maybe that is playing a role in giving my liver the extra support. i do not put

anything on my skin that may be toxic.like thee other nite we were outside and

the skeeders were out biting and hubby ask me if i wanted bugs spray,i dont put

nothing on my skin.if i use perfume,i spray it on my clothes. i wash all my

fresh veggies with a scrubby pad. i dont use sugar. i drink green tea first

thing in the morn with turmeric in it which help clense the liver. i eat apples

everyday which are good for warding off some cancers.i drink orange juice and

apple juice everyday. i just heard also that the worst thing you can do for your

liver is eating after 9pm because while we are sleeping the liver goes into a

mode of clearing

toxiants and if you eat it has to tend to that also.i eat a lite supper befor

6pm.i may have a yogurt or apple while im watching tv or a glass of pink

gratefruit juice which i hear is good for the liver also. for breakfast i like

oatmeal and so does the liver. i never take pills for a head-ache,i just drink a

big glass of water with real lemon in it and my head-ache goes away within

minutes.the past few months ive cut out fast foods and meat in general seeing

the liver works hard to proccess meats.and fast food is plain out JUNK!  hope i

could be of some help! drinks lots of water with lemon,lemon water act as a

blood purifier,lemon is a great liver tonic.!

    HELLO EVERYONE;I am overwhelmed at the response of the postings.  I am

really new to this and maybe I have not even accepted that I have hep C.  I was

quite naive about the severity of it all, and a little imbarassed to say that I

have been relatively symptom free until recently.  I have decided to not have

treatment but maybe it is going to be time to reconsider.  I guess I have been

just burying my head in the sand. I just recently had my first real bout of

fatigue,joint aches and nausea.  It lasted for a week.  Will this happen

again?how often?If it starts to interfere in my life, then what? it is very

scarey, especially when you can't share your fears with others. After all, I am

the mom and grandmom that everyone counts on. I am about as normal as they

come.  This is a world that I know nothing about. I have been reading a lot

about C.  In my job, I am vaccinated for A & B but wham I got C. I don't know

what

else to say except goodbye for now. Stay strong everyone, its just nice to see

the support that you give each other.

hi deborah, not so much that the herbs were bad but just like any other

medications they all must filter through your liver, why put anything not

natural for the liver to deal with,just overload.I don't even like taking

medications, i am very sensitive and a lightweight, i usually only take half of

the dosage of anything.  i was taking ginsing,valerian root,bromelain, bovine

adrenals,passaflora,and others all including calcium lactate,magnesium,zink.I

was a faithful visitor to the chiropractor who was also a herbalist who supplied

me with various herbs for what ayles you.The doc told me that only milk thistle

was proven to have any benefit for the liver. But I need to start a good vitamin

and will probably add co enzyme Q10 and fish oil.The problem is that the herbal

supplements do not have to pass AMA criteria, or I should say not all do,

therefore they are very inconsistant. I am a big believer in herbs and natural

healing but i took a step back the more I learned about the liver and how it

filters everything. I never was much of a drinker but now I can not tolerate

it.

Even a small amount goes right to my head. I can have a great time without it.

If I learn anything from all of you, i hope that is to drink water with lemon

which I do not do much now.please just keep reminding me.itis not a habit yet.

well TGIF no work tomorrow. have a good weekend.

come.  This is a world that I know nothing about. I have been reading a lot

about C.  In my job, I am vaccinated for A & B but wham I got C. I don't know

what

else to say except goodbye for now. Stay strong everyone, its just nice to see

the support that you give each other.

hi deborah, not so much that the herbs were bad but just like any other

medications they all must filter through your liver, why put anything not

natural for the liver to deal with,just overload.I don't even like taking

medications, i am very sensitive and a lightweight, i usually only take half of

the dosage of anything.  i was taking ginsing,valerian root,bromelain, bovine

adrenals,passaflora,and others all including calcium lactate,magnesium,zink.I

was a faithful visitor to the chiropractor who was also a herbalist who supplied

me with various herbs for what ayles you.The doc told me that only milk thistle

was proven to have any benefit for the liver. But I need to start a good vitamin

and will probably add co enzyme Q10 and fish oil.The problem is that the herbal

supplements do not have to pass AMA criteria, or I should say not all do,

therefore they are very inconsistant. I am a big believer in herbs and natural

healing but i took a step back the more I learned about the liver and how it

filters everything. I never was much of a drinker but now I can not tolerate

it.

Even a small amount goes right to my head. I can have a great time without it.

If I learn anything from all of you, i hope that is to drink water with lemon

which I do not do much now.please just keep reminding me.itis not a habit yet.

well TGIF no work tomorrow. have a good weekend.

    HELLO EVERYONE;I am overwhelmed at the response of the postings.  I am

really new to this and maybe I have not even accepted that I have hep C.  I was

quite naive about the severity of it all, and a little imbarassed to say that I

have been relatively symptom free until recently.  I have decided to not have

treatment but maybe it is going to be time to reconsider.  I guess I have been

just burying my head in the sand. I just recently had my first real bout of

fatigue,joint aches and nausea.  It lasted for a week.  Will this happen

again?how often?If it starts to interfere in my life, then what? it is very

scarey, especially when you can't share your fears with others. After all, I am

the mom and grandmom that everyone counts on. I am about as normal as they

Hello Deborah,this is really freaky, the similar scenario, for me it is buster

bar, thank goodness there is not a DQ close to my house.My daughter was over for

dinner last night, I sent her home with a big bag of tomatoes and basil.I never

had an ultrasound of my liver, I went for the biopsy right after diagnosis. I

would really suggest that you do also. It actually made me feel quite better.

They label from 0 to 6 in different categories,like inflammation, scarring etc.

for the overall condition of your liver. My numbers were 0 or 1 in all

categories.  It would be a good point of reference for you in the future. If

the

numbers start to change then maybe I will have to revisit my thinking on

treatment.Maybe my next test will be another biopsy ,just for accuracy,and if

the numbers are still good then switch to ct scan. Go for the best if you can.

There may be a time when my insurance changes and then I might have to

compromise. I actually am having oatmeal for breakfast this morning, not a big

fan but everyone raves about the benefits so I " ll give it a go. speaking of

going..... bye,

lol,good girl,drink it all up thats funny because i also hate water,i cant

drink

it without lemon.i fill a big ball mason jar and drink it all up in a period of

about 45 minutes first thing when i get up.im at war with a few wrinkles so

water is great for that  i have a garden too,and i do thee exact same,we share

with our neighbors,i feel good doing that and we always have way to many

tomatoes. i eat tomatoes everyday in the summer,great cancer fighters. i break

down and eat my milkyway or hersheys with almonds, we need that,lol. i heard

that icecream was bad bad bad but last yr i just had these almost everynite

cravings for it well then i cut it out for about a month and then went to dairy

queen and got a strawberry fudge sundae,i felt sicker than sick after i ate

it,so i havent done that for awhile.

 

im glad you are feeling good.yeah i had an altrasound on my liver a few months

ago and they said it all looked good BUT that doesnt mean deep inside where they

cant see that there could be damage starting,im fully aware that a biopsy is the

better way to go but i feel theres no need right now to worry about it because

ive chosen not to do the treatment.my immune system is also very strong,i havent

had a cold in yrs,ive never had the flu of any sort.so i guess im lucky there.

ok,i just got home from work so i gotta get my feet up,i think i have a spur in
