I am not a writer. I do well putting 3 words in a sentence these days. Fog in my brain seems to be thicker than “pea soup”. It has been an awful beginning to 2008, yet it has been better than 2007. I could complain, yet I know that only drives people away.

I have decided to get a bit personal with this blog. Am hoping that the personalization might bring readers in and also share the facts vs. myths about HEPC.

Since January 8th, it seems I have not only been making excuses for my well-being or lack of, but I have come to the realization that if you don’t have physical health your life can really really become a hindrance. Did any of that make sense? Probably not, but it is my blog [...]

Living with Chronic HCV daily is frustrating. At least for me it is. Soon I will have another Liver needle biopsy. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/liverbiopsy/index.htm

Do you know someone with HCV? Have you [...]

Chronic infection with hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus (HCV or HBV) can lead to long-term liver damage including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).
