I was diagnosed 2 days ago and have to wait six weeks just to see the new Dr. I was told I probably had this for twenty years or more and I know it can't be good. I am already getting real depressed and had been tired for a while now, plus pains in my side recently. Any suggestions please? missy46

Hey Missy,

I know that is a hard pill to swallow, but you can get through it. I have been through the treatment twice now and will find out next month if this last treatment was successful. The good news is that it can be treated and you have a good chance of irradicating the virus. Better all the time. My doc says that they are working on an even better drug for it now. There is a lot of support out there for this and a lot of help for people with hep c. Try to stay away from anything that will hurt your liver in the mean time and keep me posted on what the doc says. Also, stay away from a lot of the horror stories you read on line about this. It can really get you down if you let it. Everyone is different and reacts differently to meds etc...as you know. Drink lots of water!

Mark
