According to my lab results, I am Hep free for the last 2 years. Now I am ready to date again, do I need to discuss my treament for Hep C. I know the looks I rec'd at different medical providers and the comments people made. I kinda feeling like it is nobodys business but mine. ?????????????????????????


Thanks

It isn't anyone's business but yours.

Be smart and be careful. Use protection when the time comes. Be honest so that the other person has a choice about what they are getting into. Your attitude toward your status will be the biggest influence on the other person's attitude. If you act like hepC is a tragedy, you will convey that there is reason to fear it. If you are open, matter of fact and do not dwell on it, chances are good that this information will be received in the same spirit.

I have heard people say it is a great litmus test for sorting out the contenders from the non-contenders, if you catch my drift.

I met and married my husband after his diagnosis. It was never a big deal to me. Ever. I was in love with his fine character, openess, generosity of spirit and his beautiful soul. I have never been disappointed. Whatever risk there was was gladly accepted by me to be with him.

I met a lot of "frogs," and kissed a few, who did not have hepC and none ever measured up to my hepper.

Recently a woman approached me in a store and said that her child would not bite me or hurt me. I was stunned and asked her what she was talking about. Evidently, she mistook my leaving my glasses at home and squinting to read something as a look of disapproval for her and her baby (who was an adorable little boy, by the way) Moral of the story: we don't really know what other people are thinking. The truth is, they probably aren't thinking about us at all. We filter other people's behavior through our own lens of insecurity and feelings of inadequacy. That lady and I ended up sharing the joke. She was stressed. I had left my glasses at home and I was frustrated because I couldn't read a label. I probably did have a sour-pus-face, but not because of her. I hadn't even noticed her. So, she read the label to me.

warmly,

thanbey

I would like to say congratulations and Whoopie!!!! You Lucky DOG you! You have a wonderful life, and live each day as if it's your last. I'm so very, very happy for you! Date on girl!

Would you mind sharing your genotype, meds and duration of treatment and a little bit of how you felt during and after treatment? We all need a little encouragement around here.
