 Well they say laughter is the best medicine. I don't think it contains any antiviral properties however so I will stick with the Harvoni.

Personally I think Dragons want us to be fearful.

mean·ing·ful


ADJECTIVE

  1. having meaning:
    "meaningful elements in a language" ·
    [more]
    synonyms: significant · relevant · important · consequential · telling ·
     
    dis·cus·sion


    NOUN

    1. the action or process of talking about something, typically in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas:
      "the proposals are not a blueprint but ideas for discussion" ·
      [more]
     
    Ok not sure about one as my stuff may or not be meaningful with regard to significant. And I often employ language that lacks in relevant or important substance so not doing real good on the one request but with regard to discussion , well I am full of it!
     
     
    Oh wait. no

Hi Russell,

there is lots of help and support on this site from people who are, or have been, on the same journey as you. 

Also while you're getting to know other people you will learn a lot about your liver, its functions, what symptoms, if any, others have. 

Glad you have found the forum and hoping to hear your story soon.

Syd

Hi Russell,

Welcome to the forum, this a great place, lots of great, up-to-date information, very friendly family here. smile

I'm on treatment now, you'll find people in all stages, pre-treatment, on-treatment and post-treatment.

We've all been right where you are now, do tell us a little about your diagnosis.

 

Dave

 Hi Russell and welcome from me as well.

  If your looking for conversation about hep c then you have hit the jackpot. We have many active members who are affected by hep c and either looking for information about a cure, presently on treatment, or have been cured. There is an abundance of knowledge and plenty of support here for you.

 What is your current situation as it relates to hep c? Are you planning to start treatment? Have you ever been treated in the past? Do you have any lab results you can share with us or have any questions we can help you with?

 I understand about feeling down. We've been right where you are but there is a solution and you can look forward to better days ahead. I just completed treatment ~3 months ago and I feel better than I ever remember feeling and it's getting better every day.

 Others will be along to welcome you as well so make yourself comfortable. We are glad you found us. smile

Hi Russell,

Welcome Brother! Glad you found us and invite you to tell us a little about yourself. I'm leaving a link and ask that you provide some info in your signature line.

Things like your history, genotype, fibrosis, previous treatment, etc. You have 220 characters to share your story and it helps us reply to your questions and concerns!
