What did you go to the doctor for when you first found out?

Since there are so many extra hepatic manifestations of hep c I'm curious as to what you were going to the doctor for the day you found out you had hep c.

I was going for TIAs. Another friend on here told me she was going to the doctor for chest pains.

What about you?

An erection that lasted more than four hours. I heard on the radio that I should go.
