Pamela Anderson's statement!

[Twinmick]

Hi folks

I just wonder what you think about Pamela

[oldhippiechick67]

Here is a cool site/interview with David about his HepC experience, it gave me an eye opener

I think that if Pam Anderson isn't going to take advantage of the excellent medical care that she can afford and KILL the virus instead of using the situation to start a huge pity party - that she should step up and help out some of those that have insurance issues so they can get the proper care and don't have to have the additional "insurance" worries.

Maybe I am ignorant - but that is what pisses me off the most about her and her stand with hepc.  Hey - why not pass on the next boob-job and give someone with insurance issues a chance at fighting the dragon and stop playing the "I got hepc from my ex-husband who doesn't have it" role.

I am sick of her.  I would rather hear that she is trying to use her notoriety to help others...what she is doing right now is not helping research.  She has HepC, she has 2 children - and she is doing nothing to help herself but put voodoo concoctions in her body.

I'm w/a jazz drummer. We're 'boys-n-da-hood' meets 'northern exposures' and settled in Mayberry.  B/I'm the one w/the hep c.  Neither of us have piercings or tattoos or were slaves to the needle, altho found some romance in the pipe.

So appearences are decieving.  Its not the hard-core jazz musician from Watts w/hepc, b/the soccor mom from the 'burbs that had the dreaded hep c.

Some one posted earlier, mentioning a list of well known musicians who have had hep c and liver transplants, trying to imply the profession automatically implied drunken, drug abuse behavior as a given.  Up until recently, w/o a cure, people of means were encouraged to seek transplants.  So, more likely, a higher # of prominate people did choose that option, and we just hear about them.  B/no matter the income, all transplant patients have an unbeleivably tough system of behavior to adhere to, to get that d*** liver.  And people w/habits aren't allowed in that club.

Also, no one can realy tell the course of this disease, or someones's life expectancy.  I wasn't suppose to live 2wks after the varices hemmoraging, b/  that was 9-12-01 and this is 26mo later and I'm SVR, still classified ESLD, b/have a feeling I'm not quite finished on this plain yet.

My only problem with her statements & celebrity is somehow peop;le listen to her & holy cow my family & friends certainly did ... then I felt like I was dying in 5 years... I then had to show my family & close friends that is rubbish what she said ....  I hope she does come here, she is very welcome because oh boy I've been helped severely at this site .... she can too be helped</font>

Also this may be her last stop and if she reads all this she may split. I don't want that. If I had not found this place I don't know whether or not I would have begun TX.

Love
