Hi Lorna.

 Welcome to the forum. Make yourself at home and like Jill and Tig said, if you have any questions then just ask. When I first joined Jan 2014, I didn't know much about Hep C other than that I had it. It was suggested to me to get educated about the disease and the treatment for it. I did just that as a result of being an active member on this forum asking a lot of questions and I'm glad I did. It has enabled me to get the most out of the treatment with less side effects, understand what's going on with my body and to be my own best advocate when dealing with a mistake-prone healthcare system. I'd like to pass that suggestion on to you. smile

 Are you currently seeing a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, and do you have a plan for getting started with Hep C treatment?

Hello Stone and welcome to the forum! You have found a place with a lot of information and caring individuals. Others will be along to welcome you too.

In the meantime, tell us a little more about yourself. Things like genotype, any previous treatment and test results (Biopsy or fibrosis stage, ALT/AST and viral load) are helpful when replying. Here's a link to some information here on the forum. It can help explain our terminology and show you how to set up your signature line, if you would care to do that. Feel free to look around and ask any questions that come to mind. I'm glad you're here!
