I hear ya ceejay, you know all those old timers. Fit as a fiddle when you signed up. Then 20 or 40 more years of unknown illnesses that cant be definitively nailed down as the source of infection or whatever else that's ailing them. I know veterans with close to 15 different circumstances that could put them near a potential opinion. But to no avail. It only takes one. Thanks for the info. I hope they're taking care of ya.
Keeping on a lighter note, My experiences overall have led me to trust that my sharing on forums like these are taken in stride with the information that users seek while taking into consideration the plights of others as well. There is no doubt that the technology back then for giving mass injections was the norm. Older and wiser now the attitude of this new technology of sharing has its limitations also. I'm just an aging veteran with the ability to relate to the young folks that need not get all uppity about the overall statistics. The boomers can basically say that they caught it. Where? none of them know. Believe in the statistics try not to form a one-sided definite opinion of where. 3.2 million Americans are infected right now. 17,000 new cases are being found each year.Old timers that have Hep c fit into several categories. Each is their coping mechanism. But all of the definite considerations of where they contracted it are out the window after learning the multiple ways of doing so. Primarily after finding infected mothers during pregnancy could have did it. If you weren't an intervenes drug user, then you know that you caught it somewhere else. Blood transfusions before 1992, or some other way. Most can narrow it down to several rare occurrences but no definite answer. Thank you for letting this new technology help me relate to all, the potential of the new drug, that most can receive and be cured. Remember the people who were sick when we were growing up and realize that they died young of cirrhosis of the liver. Which was a common disease to die from back then for some types. Now in all reality it was most likely Hep c, the same disease that is being cured today.
OK plz quit reporting. Maybe a little depressed.
Sorry again, I still have a chest.
I know exactly where the polluted water well was or is. It was across from my quarters where I stayed for 3 months prior to being shipped out. The overall boot treatment was to **** in the smelly well. Then get hollered at for pissing in the water supply. Trust me it didn't smell like ****. Then pass the bravery test of drinking the well water. After all all it was your own **** right? 3 months, no ****.
