She did some more lab work to find out that I have hepatitis C. I found out last wednesday and took the rest of the week off. I smoke cigarettes, I drank lots of alcohol and I ate horrible. I layed in bed and cried and felt sorry for myself. I'm feeling much better now and am back on track with my eating and am not smoking or drinking. My friend had her surgery on June 29th and she has lost a total of 21lbs in the last three weeks. It was good to see her and I think seeing her helped me get my head out of my a$$. I don't have insurance and have to go to a hep c clinic which is a year of treatment of two different meds that are very similar to chemo...hair loss and all. The bonus is the weight loss that comes with it. Anyways, that's why I haven't been on in a little while. I have no idea the damage I did to myself over the weekend and probably won't weigh till next Monday. Thanks for your support.


Oh and on top of that I found out my girlfriend was lying to me and I kicked her out. But to me that's a good thing cause I don't tolerate liars.
Hi Becca

I am an American living over here in Egypt.I had to have my test done here and I am also having my surgery done here.One of my test came back saying I had hep c oh I cried for days.Then I decided to go to a very good lab and have the test again.Which thank god came back neg.Maybe you should get a second opinion.
