Party Ride… Roll Call!

[geterdone]

Lets all help put this here together in the coming days,

The Party Ride… Roll Call!, why might you ask? Well we’ve been here on the Hepc Party Ride for some time over the past months and as with any party ride many people jump in and others jump out (kind of like the hokey pokey, remember that one?) to make way for the new people coming in on the line to find info, share stories, support and help pull all of us together and keep us moving forward in the journey, so it might be fun for everyone to share in this party ride once again and let everyone know where we started and where we are at in treatment or have past treatment and are SVR, waiting for SVR or have relapsed if so inclined.

Might see some TX similarities here
