HELP!!!
I have been diagnosed with hep c, I was tested after my parents were diagnosed. I have no insurance and am very overwhelmed!! I don't have a clue what I should do next, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Most people have had it for 25-30 years before finding out. Just curious, do you think you were born with it?
there is no need to panic. hcv is typically a slow moving disease. next step is to see a specilist (hepatologist) and see where you stand with liver damage (if any).
Then make a plan, hopefully wait for the new drugs coming out in about a year.
Also if I was you I would look to get insurance. If possible try and get it through employment. This way they can not turn you down for a "pre-exsisting condition" when joining a group plan.
Best of luck
