Yes we are, friends who can disagree and I wouldn't even be so dayum pissy if this disease didn't kill my friend last week.

You know oddly it didn't affect me that much THEN but I heard an old song he used to play on the radio the other day and had to drive to the side.

It's such a STUPID disease and it CAN be treated and that is what is upsetting. He DID to treatment and DID have a transplant but continued to drink and get high and konked out.

If your bf had CANCER would he just say "well I know I have it but I feel fine...I'll let it go".

I never was freaked about having this that much until it killed someone I knew intimately well. Now...I hate this disease (and the alcoholism that really most likely did him in) more than I have words.


I wish to God that everyone who had it was being treated or monitoring it. But with 3million Americans with the disease and waht is the number 150,000 treating...........those numbers just aren't so good at all.  Sadly they don't even KNOW they have it most of them.

I love you CanDo - thank you for dealing with my problem with such class. I'm just straight up pissed at this crapassbastardmotherfucker disease.

HA I'm pretty sure that ten word long utterance will get **'d!

First it was no comment you made that upset anyone, He should be happy to have some like you who cares. And don't feel like your ignorance. Your just like the most of us when we found out about hep-c. Just glad you found this site. As for upsetting any body, na, Me and nygirl are good friends here and like all friends we don't always agree. Nygirl is one of the most caring people here. And for the most part i don't bark. Maybe you can convince him to at least find out where he stands. But you can only do so much.

Sorry it was your post this happened in, but please don't let that keep you away. Shoot if i could i'd give nygirl a big hug.

"I found the delphi forums a bit melodramatic at times, and the signatures ending each comment can be a bit much. I like the simplicity of Med help. And is SOOO addictive!"

"Melodramatic", you are being far to kind using a word like melodramatic. i find it to be more like a daytime soap opera or Jerry Springer.

There is one site; "HCvets" which I find to be the most tame in this area and somewhat more informative then the others.

MH has always been the most informative, concise site. where actual cerebral discussions take place, in a give and take arena. It has always helped me to make a well informed decisions.

I don't post much but I read here daily.

one year Qual. was detected & repeated, detected. Then Quant. <50 undetected. Found good info on MRV here, going for the Heptimax.

To take a small step back, and before you fill you head with a bunch of HCV stuff, How is it that good ol' Beau knows that he is HCV positive?  Are there specific tests, and they exist, that he has had to confirm hcv?  One of the worst things that you can do is self-diagnose.  Which tests and what were the results?
