A long, long time ago we had hepatitis A, and B and something called non A , non B. See Will Johnstons post. That is or was the treatment, I haven't looked in a long time. Never the less, I knew other nurses who got much better on treatment and none who got worse. The same for people who had contracted it from transfusions. Being afraid of MDs is common, but silly. A few needles and and a clinical depression can be helped, even advanced liver disease can be helped. Find a doctor you like and stop the excuses. You can get over Hep C most of the time,( nothing is absolute.) and and as miserable as it is it is possible to get over a clinical depression, you just have to get off the dime. Even a transplant beats dying. AS a clinical nurse and then an infection control nurse, I knew a number of people with all (one at a time or all at once) you do not get over being dead. by the way What color are you the whites of your eyes.
