End stages of Hep. C?????

[Zoey05]

I just recieved a frantic phone call from my mother (she has had hep C for 20 years, 15 years untreated and she is in the end stages of Hep.C) And she is scared because she says she feels like she is losing her mind, she said she forgets everything!! She said that she has to write things down in order to remember. Well I bet this is a little scarraed but im very upset!! About 4 years ago i told to a women who lost her husband to this and she told me right before he dided he lost his memory and then his mind and he died shortly after! I dont know what to say im just ask all of you to please respond to this and tell me what you all know about the final stages of Hep. C.

You bet it's beautiful there, love going up the coast and seeing those Montecito Mountains, so nice...want to go up to Cambria so maybe we'll catch a little of that "Sideways" tour of SB on the way...couldn't hurt....

Natto is a traditional Japanese food and is commonly eaten for breakfast in Japan. Since natto is made from soybeans fermented by natto bacillus, it is sticky and has strong smell and taste. Because of the smell, some people dislike eating natto. But, natto is known as a nutritious food in Japan, and the popularity has been increasing in recent years.

Natto is a good source of protein and vitamin B2, which keeps your skin young. Natto is also rich in vitamin K2, which is helpful in preventing osteoprosis. Further, a fibrinolytic enzyme found in natto is called nattokinase. Nattokinase is reported to reduce and prevent blood clots. So, eating natto may help prevent heart attacks and strokes....

You know I'm a health nut foodie, (and I like most everything I eat) but I think I'll even draw the line here, ha ha! well, I'll try it anyway...

I was told the problem is not needles or the ink, that most reputable parlors use sterile single use needles and sterile single use ink The problem is in the tattooing tool itself, by design they can not be fully taken apart to be sterilized ony part of it can be so that is the culprit. Remember the virus can live a long time on any surface. Most think if the needle and ink are sterile, all is ok. The ink has to flow through the tool, unlike say, a dental drill where the sterilized parts of the drill are the only thing you are exposed to, the tattoo tool has to have a way for the ink to pass through the tool. I cringe to think of all these young people getting tattoos in such large numbers.
I was in Bali and my sons wanted me to let them get tattoos, they do pretty ones there and it is a big thing to get them there because they are cheap too. I wouldn't let them, I am so glad I didn't! They grew out of that phase and don't want them now (hooray) Artistically I think they can be nice but the risks are scary.

I have never heard of "end stages of Hep C"

Most people with hep will die "with it" and not "from it"
Do you mean she is in end stages of liver cancer or cirrosis?
Im sorry, I am not understanding exactly what you mean.
