Do not let Hepatitis C get you down! You need to get a good support system around you! You need your family and friends. You need to also reach out to a local support group and if there isn't one in your area. Start one! That is what I did almost 9 years ago and we started with just two people but once the word got out we grew like crazy.Yes there is a Stigma on this disease and man oh man does that burn my skirt!!! Thee should never be a Stigma on anything in life... Ever. You should be able to stand on top of your car and scream what you have and be excepted for who you ARE not what you HAVE!!! If we would live in a real world. That is what I chose the day I was diagnosed. I first cried, then got scared, then panic, then prayed, then stood up and said to myself . YOU CAN DO IT!!! And that is what I am doing even after two dead lines now the doctors have given me. I am on Gods dead line no one no one else s. And that goes for each and every one of you reading this who are positive with Hep C. You Can Do It!!! And those of you reading this who are not positive you NEED to be a caring human being a reach out to take extra encouragement to those who are. It is up to all of us to change the world and that goes for Stigma too. We are to love each other no matter what!!!!!! I mean my daughter has done treatment twice , Once in 1st grade 48 weeks of her year taken by the treatment that sucks yes. But then she had do do treatment again in 3rd grade because it came back after being non-detected for 6 months. and as is now 3 years non detected. And as for me I am now getting ready to do treatment for another 48 weeks for the third time . This time after 7 years non detected. However I WILL NOT QUIT. I have to have faith. I am a mother of 7 Children and 10 grandchildren. I have still two at home (You could say 1 and 1/2 since I have one just turned 18 and you know how that goes.. lol)  You know everyone God puts us all in each and everyday that we are given, no matter our flaws. Each day is a new one to make awesome memories out of. Not sad times. So do not and I Mean It do Not let Hepatitis C get you down. We are all equal. And if folks walk away from you when they hear of your inside then then just need to keep walking. Because you are worth more then that. Please know that I am here 24/7 to hear what every it is you have to say or talk about. I Will FIND A CURE IS WHAT I STARTED ALL THIS FOR TO FIND A CURE.  Lets all work together to help those with anything happening in their lives the best we can,,,,
     Please know that I love you all and pray for you all each night with my children and alone too. I am here for you. No matter the miles. i do not just have to support Indiana. I am here for anyone anywhere reading this right now. PLEASE REMEMBER TO SMILE AT EVERYONE YOU SEE!! IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL PASS IT ON!!!! So many many people need your smile trust me!!!!
Have a great day!!
