THE DRAGON

[secondtime]

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW HEP C HAS COME TO BE CALLED "THE DRAGON?" I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO TREAT, BUT WHY THE DRAGON???

I live in the West Midlands & got rid of my hep C in 2002 thanks to the Queen Elizabeth Liver Unit, Birmingham!  Have you turned into an American now after having lived there so long?

As a wise person on this forum said, "I toast you with my glass of water, and salute you with my celery stick!"


Best regards to you, and Chevy, too!

I don't know and personally never use 'dragon'.  I prefer virus.  Viruses are something that can be eliminated.  And I was the unwilling host.  B/now its gone.  

The virus it self looks much like a futuristic space thingy.  The mo I was starting tx, Newsweek mag had a cover story on HCV complete w/scientific illustrations of the HCV virus and how tx works.  So, I always thot of it in star wars terms and as an epic battle.  I never heard 'dragon' until I went on the internet in Sept 2002, just as I was finishing tx.

B/what ever works, visualization is a very important tool in healing.  & its free & legal w/o sx's.

Good Question on where that name came from! It is crazy when you think about it because this is nothing but a nasty virus!  In my case,,I find that I often do refer to the "Dragon"!  Maybe because its something I am conquering in this lifetime and feel like if I slay the dragon,,,that is put in a better perspective for me then just say "I'm beating the virus,,hep c".  Whatever,,its a challenge that we all have to step up to the plate and face...
