It is the day to day posters, the moderators, the active members who keep this forum active. Tig, Cinnamon Girl, Mike,  and many others who are here every day.

Those every day posters who have educated themselves about treatments and side effects and who share that knowledge.

The ones who are here to encourage, educate, commiserate. If this forum relied on posters such as myself, it would be nothing but crickets chirping :)

Hey Xtra

Yours thoughts are well appreciated, all the members contribute whether they post a little or alot. Like Jill said " we each have a story to tell" and we all express it in different ways

What a nice post, thanks Xtra, we`re just glad you found us!

This forum exists for the benefit of all our members, we wouldn`t be here if it weren`t for all the good people who choose to share their stories, concerns and mutual support, and each and every one of you contribute in your own way.  

We each have a story to tell and you`re right that so often Hep C is a lonely disease and we need to turn to people who have walked in the same shoes, who understand what you`re going through and who will never judge you, and this is the right place for that.  And no matter how much or how little you post, you are an important part of the whole HepCfriends family. 

We`ll all be here to celebrate your SVR with you, you can count on it!!  smile

Hi Xtra,

We're certainly as glad to have ya as you are glad to be here ... couldn't have said it better, "We're all in this together" ... I think the encouragers (I'm pretty sure I just made that word up) need the occasional encouragement themselves ... I'm sure they appreciate your sentiments ... smile

I hope your treatment is going along Ok, I know we started pretty much near the same time (Jan 20 here), soon we'll be done with Tx and on our way to SVR!

 

Wishing you the best,

Dave

That's right, we're all in this together and although we come from many different walks of life we all have a common bond and we all have something to contribute. Those who give encouragement are just as  much a part of this family as those who know all the technical stuff. Some have a knack with words and post often and some don't post much because they think they don't have much to offer. But it takes all of us to make this family whole and even if you don't post much you are still a valuable member here. So THANK YOU for being here! smile

I cannot improve or add to what Tig said, in particular, we are all in this together and everyone counts.

Hi MM,

Your words are appreciated, as are your valued contributions to the forum. We're all in this together and while some are vocal, some are the mortar that holds us together and we all provide the help, strength and support needed to deal with the issues at hand. We are a family and without you, it wouldn't be complete...

I have been supported, informed, encouraged and welcomed on this forum. This is a silent disease. It is a lonely disease that has a stigma that makes it a quiet fight will little information available generally.

The point I want to make is that I don't post. I don't know much about the newest medicines or how to read the lab tests. I can't give much advice. My encouragements are about all I have to offer.

So I want to Thank the Good People who are informed, who can discuss various treatments and give sound advice.

To the people who have been here and who remain here, The Train Conductors, Thank You, and I am here even if I don't post much.
