not every aliment is from Hep C, or treatment

[orphanedhawk]

So many of us get so obsessed when we first learn we have hep C.
Even more so while doing treatment.

In some ways we have to stay aware, remember how the meds effects us, at all times.
We remind ourselves of our lowered immune systems and emotional tendencies to stay healthy and not inadvertently trample on people.

However we need to remember that sometimes, well, an itch is just an itch. A sniffle is just a sniffle.
Having the blues is normal too.

This is to remind myself, as well as others, we are still people not just people with hep C.

And sometimes it's related to treatment and should be reported to your doctor.  Let's not forget that either!

If you've never had a rash in your life and now are covered by one, tell your doctor.  It could be related to treatment and catching it EARLY is important.

If that sniffle turns into a cough that lasts 8 weeks, tell your doctor.  It could be related to treatment (low WBC?) and you don't want pneumonia.

Ha, i was asking the doc all kinds of questions like that the first appt.  

Me: I have little spider veins on my face, is that because of the Hep C?
Doc:  No, it's just from getting older
Me: Oh, damn, hadn't thought of that, ha

me: are these little red spots on my arms beacuse of the Hep C?
doc: No, it's just from getting older
Me: Oh, damn, hadn't thought of that

Me: I am always itchy on my stomache, is that beacuse of the Hep C?
Doc:  Doesn't look like it, probably just an itch
Me; Oh, ha...ok, I'll stop asking now...

So i guess you could also say, for some anyway were also getting older? (not me or you of course) And maybe some of those aches and pains were having just like alot of other people that don't have hep C might just be due to age???

A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
