| Hi There Heppers, I am Cindy from Los Angeles CA. I am 46 and I have been diagnosed 
                    with hep-C type 1A. I first started feeling sick in 1998 when my ex husband died 
                    of liver problems, he told me that he had hep-C and that he 
                    gave it to me but at the time I wasn't worried at all , it 
                    seemed he was always over dramatizing everything.   He 
                    was a heavy drinker so it seemed that his liver would give 
                    out sooner or later.  I figured he was just pouring out 
                    his guilt as we had a bad marriage, He was 47 when he died.
 My doctor told me my headaches and sickness were allergies 
                    and she put me on lots of allergy medication and told me that 
                    if I worked out that it might help.
 SHE DID NOT CHECK MY BLOOD.
 
 I literally forced myself to go to the gym everyday and worked 
                    my ass off.  I did feel much better after a few months.
 
 In Dec. 02, I stopped going to the gym because of family emergencies 
                    that took all of my time when I wasn't working.   In 
                    Aug 03, I was sick again this time diagnosed with hep-C and 
                    fibromyalgia.
 
 I just tried to lay down and die but it didn't work, I did 
                    finally get caught up on my sleep though. and then some.
 
 I refused the interferon as I have a couple of acquaintances 
                    that really got screwed up on it and it certainly didn't do 
                    my husband any good.
 
 I bought 2 books to help me through this ordeal, Living 
                    with Hepatitis C a survivors guide, and Triumph 
                    over Hepatitis C by Lloyd Wright.  I wasn't 
                    real thrilled with the first book as my life hasn't been very 
                    exciting since I found out that I have an incurable disease 
                    and all I want to do is sleep, and I certainly don't like 
                    the fact that I cant work and have no money.
 I don't want to have Hepatitis C and be a survivor I want 
                    to get rid of it, as it is not very much fun. I find it a 
                    chore just to talk on the phone or to hold my granddaughter 
                    who is 18 months old and the cutest little blue eyed blond. Triumph over Hepatitis C was motivating, this guy had the 
                    disease himself and got rid of it. I recommend it to everyone. 
                      I will be starting his program right away as I 
                    just got his stuff in the mail. I am starting only with the 
                    essentials as money is an issue, we will see what happens. 
                    As soon as I have just a little energy I will force myself 
                    to go back to the gym as I need to take my life back.  Thank You all for your support and for listeningCindy
