Hep can cause you to lose your libido, anyone experience that? I have now for 4 years very low libido, sex drive, and almost impotent.
It sucks.... really being im a young man. Im hoping i will regain my libido, but it doesent seem like it...

Cheers.....LIVE IN THE MOMENT!!!!

course, I'm no expert on this, but I used to go to this crazy hep c board, and they had live chat on there....and there was a lot of people there who said the treatment actually made them a little more "sexually amorous" if you know what I mean....so..... I'd venture......as in all things hep c.......everybody is different....hearing other people's stories is exactly that, other people's stories...when I first came to these boards, believe me, I had every other person's problems, and I was sure everything that everybody said was going to happen to me...but it's just not the case, I just ended up projecting a lot on to myself, that's all...I still do from time to time...it's hard not to, but I'd suggest try to realize your path is your path....you might have a way better time of it then most....you hear that too....

ha ha, so weird, I just looked up your new profile (great thing you did there with the bird poop flying at your head in front of the bridge) and I guess you "once again" talked about your bowels or something -juxtaposition being everything,  there are all these hemorrhoid and piles cream adds right next to you in the upper right corner...everything as it should be I guess, hilarious!
