Hello, Firstly I would like to say that I'm so very happy to find a community that offers support & advice on HepC. I'm very new to this community however, so if you see that I'm not doing something right let me know. To introduce myself, I'm just recently 29 yrs. old. I live in TN, just outside of Nashville.(Franklin).[br>I've been diagnosed with hepC. It was back in 2008 that I received the news of my illness. Also because I had just recently graduated from college, I was kicked off my parents health-insurance. BIG Problem. I said something to my physician like, "How will I be able to get health-insurance coverage?", He said, "You won't be able to, cuz if they ask I'll have to tell them about these results.!" I was completely devastated. Partly because I wasn't informed properly in the beginning, and also because I was so emotionally fragile at the time. I had just gotten out of drug-rehab, and just the complexities of daily life were extremely challenging & scary to me. I was many times suicidal. For so long I had depended on different drugs to numb my feelings/pain. Now I didn't have that luxury. I am happy to say now that since '08 I've managed to stay clean/free from drugs, with only a few hiccups along the way. That's to be expected though. [br>I had a blood-panel done 2 months ago. The results showed Highly-Elevated enzyme levels. At that time too (Prior to test), I had gone into a little depression, & spent about a week solid drinking beer by myself at my families lake house. I'm hoping that in my next blood test it will show a dramatic decrease, & explain the increase as a direct result of my drinking alcohol at the time of the test. Now I know that Alcohol is extremely bad for anyone having hepc. I struggle sometimes still though with drinking. I am taking steps toward removing it 100% from my life. If there is anyone with a similar story please let me know. I could write a lot more, but I don't want to bore people. Just know that I'm confused, upset, and hoping to find some inspiration so that I can start taking this disease seriously. Thank you for listening.View Thread
