I just started treatment on the 6th I was looking for some newbies so we can take this journey together. I'm in W. Sac Ca. I've had hep c 39 years. I am a 53 yrs. Old female with geno type 1a vl 9000000, compensated cirrhosis, 2 unidentified masses on pancreas, colorectal cancer unstaged. Other then that I'm fine! Well I also might add I am looking at 10 years to life in federal prison with no priors and a $10,000,000 fine. Currently out through pretrial services since it is expected the court process will take 3-5 years. Anyway a lot on my plate clean and sober 1 year now. So newbies let's walk through this together no one else can understand except us who are walking or have walked in our shoes. Alumni welcome!!

Is that you Aussy? I've been reading your post with great interest. I was hoping to get some first and second seekers to ride along with me on this health trek. Would be great if you'd check in on us now and then and give us some words of wisdom. That is if anyone's crazy enough to roll with a coon! (Raccoon Crazy) I'm going to get my troubles behind me and get me a raccoon refuge right here in the heart of California! Thanx appreciate your input

Woke up this morning feeling pretty dizzy. Laing in bed dizzy walking around dizzy. Concerns me I called doctor waiting for response. I drive a commercial truck and service septice tanks when I am able to work but feeling like this no way am I about to go out and drive, dig, haul 3" x 25' hoses up and down hills. Luckily I am an owner operator so I have the option of not working when I don't feel well. No too good for business or my pocket though. Honestly the past 3 years has been very difficult am I am now honestly considering shutting down for the first time in the 10 years I've been in business. Age, lifestyle choices  and illness are catching up with this coonchild!
