blood test now stating I do not have hep C ; SHOULD I HAVE ANOTHER

TEST FOR THIS DONE A A CIVILIAN HOSPITAL ??? I have never been to a

civilian Doctor & how do I chose one??? Dr of the VA hos; I had high

blood pressure & no medicine would control it: I moved to where

there is well water::: Now no more high Blood Pressure & no pills

either!!!

Hi Connie,

I can't remember your orignial posts but, for me, the initial diagnosis

of hep C was done by a general practitioner. It was a sort of two

stage process, first by freak accident I was screened for Hep C and

that showed I had been exposed to it. Then the follow-up with a more

specific test confirming chronic Hep C. To that point the lab work can

be read yourself and understood with help of some of the guides we have

on this list. I would never recommend staying with a doctor you don't

trust, but I'm saying, I think without knowing anymore, read the

labwork and rest assured, it sounds like you dodged the bullet. Others?
