PS. Still waiting for "Viral Load" test results.....will keep you all informed. Hugs and lots of little kisses to you all!!!

The greatest threat. There is no vaccine against Hepatitis C. More than 80% of those who get Hepatitis C will have the infection for life if it is not treated. Many will develop chronic, life threatening liver disease within 5 years.
-- Dr. C Everett Koop, former Surgeon General of the United States
Do you know that you DON'T have it?
- 500 million people worldwide are currently infected with Hepatitis B or C
- This is over 10 times the number infected with HIV/AIDS
- Between them, hepatitis B and C kill 1.5 million people a year
- One in every three people on the planet has been exposed to either or both viruses
- Most of the 500 million infected do not know

Bless you for posting these videos. I am starting HCV antiviral treatment Monday 07/12/2010. Watching your video log has been informative and at times uplifting. A lot of times you have brought a much needed smile to my face. Other times a tear to my eye.

You have helped me to know what may be in store for me. I have type one, so that means 48 weeks of nasty drugs. At least I don't have to worry about hair falling out. Most of it fell out years ago.

Stay SVR, be well.
