as above, so below . . . knowledge IS power, my friend. Thank you for sharing some of yours. And, I appreciate your stand on being (or not being) a “victim blogger”. Sometimes when we are faced with diagnoses or crises the only way we can deal is by blogging about them – that does NOT make us victims – I see it as helping us to think through, process, and carry on with our lives.

LIVE, Shelly!

My cousin has it as well and the best we could figure out was that she got it a child, a blood transfusion in Germany back in the 50′s. Here in Canada many people were infected before they started testing blood, it was a national scandal. I have had many blood transfusions prior to testing but I got lucky and I don’t have it… Fortunately I believe it can be kept in check, or so my cousin says…ciao

Whew. You had me worried about the bacon.

Seriously? You’ve got the right attitude and I’m proud of you, woman. But neither of those things are new facts. You’re awesome. That’s not new, either.

I’m so glad you posted this. I learned a lot… I’m thinking now about the accupuncture visits.
So glad that you, my dear, found out early.

Thanks for sharing that. You will probably get many more ignorant comments, but most likely they are truly curious and just don’t realize how it sounds.
(I get stupid comments all the time for having 7 kids, they don’t realize how rude they are being.)

I don’t think I could cope half as well as you’re doing.

You’re truly amazing.

Shelley – Thanks for sharing the information. I believe, as do you, that the more people know about various health issues, the better off we all are! Ignorance is a much bigger problem than sharing information. I do the same thing by talking openly about my two little grandchildren who are both autistic because so many people are so fearful of this disorder, think it means these kids are doomed for life and well, just all kinds of misinformation.In my opinion, my grandkids and many others like them – as well as parents, other family members, friends and acquaintances need to know as much as possible about this disorder so that these children will then be better understood and hopefully, well accepted as they grow up then. And, the very same message applies to you and the Hepatis C virus! Keep doing what you’re doing to keep people informed with good and very valuable information. (Now, stay as healthy as you can and keep enjoying that bacon. I’d be lost too if they ever were to tell me I couldn’t partake of that delicacy!)
