hep c and vicodin

I was diagnosed with hep c about 6 years, since than i have drank a ton of alcohol, and have been taking vicodin pretty much everyday for the last 2 years, i heard hep c goes away sometimes, i have some pain in my side sometimes, but i seem prety healthy, what will happen if i keep up my unhealthy ways of living?

I put it a little bit more bluntly, you will die.

The alcohol and the Tylenol in the vicodin are deadly alone and especially in combination.

I had a problem with both of them myself. I have been sober for 16 years now and take anything with Tylenol sparingly.

Decompensating is not pretty.

There is plenty of help available out there. I am an active member of AA and it has done nothing for me, short of saving my life!

You ARE worth saving so please seek help and stick with it!!! Don't put the people around you who love you through hell either. (that is one thought that helps keep me motivated and on the path)

Don't want to look back and say "if I knew I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself.

If you need, I can give you more information as it is my duty to pass on to others that which was given so freely to me.

Start now!!!

Vicodin is really damaging to your liver particularly when mixed with alcohol. If you know you have hep c you way want to rethink your lifestyle. Not be judgmental but just sayin....
